I'm about to do the same, I just can't decide between Navicore or TT5 for my P910i. The only problem with TT is the waiting time for delivery, it can take a month or more, other than that it appears to be a great bit of kit! Have a search of this forum for people's comments on TT5 on smartphones.

I've just got TT5 for my C500 and must say I'm very pleasantly surprised. I love it! The navigation is easy and the interface is straightforward. The directions given are clear and the 3D map is easy to read, you don't miss a bigger screen at all (not sure how the C500 screen compares to your phone, I have it suction mounted to the windscreen in easy view). I'm also impressed with how quickly it recalculates your route if you don't go the way it says, litterally a couple of seconds and it's done, it would be very hard to get lost with it even with my sense of direction!

Also I find the battery life on the C500 exceptional for a windows smartphone anyway, but TomTom isn't the battery eater I was expecting, I would guess you'd easily get a full days travel out of a full battery without needing to charge in car. In fact I find playing some of the games on my phone use the battery far quicker.

All in all I'm very impressed, it is a quality package, it's easy to see why TomTom is the first name that comes to mind when you think of SatNav. Although I've never tried any others, I've certainly no wish to hurry out and swap TT5.

the 6680 uses the low voltage card so battery life maybe better i find it excellent just as good as my xda2s if it wasn't for the fact the xda has wifi i would sell the xda and just use the 6680 Wink

My TTM5 finally turned up on Thursday and I must admit, I'm pleasently suprised.
The screen size is very clear. The only "difficult" bit is the blue info bar at the bottom right, although I've found that if you just display the distance and ETA instead of speed and current time then it makes it much clearer.

Yes, definitely TT5, it's the best by far.... and in regards to comment about c500 battery lasting a whole day, mine doesn't it goes for about 4 1/2 hours, but that is with back-light on all the time.... would be great with an option that could turn off the baclight say if there was no turn for about 3 miles automatically.... as it's just wasting battery while on the highway etc....
