I am due to get a SPVE650 soon and wondered if anyone has managed to get Tomtom to run on it? It is not on their supported device list on their web site.

I believe people are running TomTom on these. It's a rebadged HTC Artemis the same as the O2 XDA Orbit which I'm using to run TomTom.

The SPVE650 is actually a re-badged (and messed with) Orange version of the HTC S710 Vox, it has no similarity at all with the Artemis based devices.
I would have a read of This Page as the new unit you are considering is running WM6 I would be very wary of spending cash on TomTom just yet, if they say it won't work and you find it doesn't they will offer no support - Mike

Thanks for the update, I will not risk the purchase yet until it is supported.

thanks, what version did you purchase, i.e. dvd or memory card?

It was done through TomTom Home.

so even though they do support WM6 devices TomTom home allowed you to download ans install TomTom 6?

I originally installed it on my Orbit when it was running WM5. When I flashed WM6 onto it TomTom auto-installed from the memory card. Since then I have upgraded the map without any difficulty.
