Which Navigation System with traffic information link?

Hi there
I am a total newbie to all this stuff. I have, at one time, owned a GPS system but that was it. Now I travel round the UK a lot on business and am fed up getting lost (hopeles sense of direction !). I also find that I do not seem to enjoy getting caught up in traffic jams.
Therefore, having had cursory look at what is around, I have provisionally settled on a TomTomGo. The questions I therefore have are :-
1) If you had to delve into this area from scratch, would you go for a TomTomGo solution?
2) If the answer to (1) is yes, then should I wait for the new range and which one if the range would you go for and whyl
I would also like to apologise if all this has been covered before but any suggestions that you could give, ideally based on your own experience would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Raphael

If I didn't need a PocketPC then I'd buy a GO. In fact if I had the money I'd buy a GO anyway!

They are the most popular PND for a reason, excellent intuitive interface, and clear display with no need to resort to a manual makes it a popular choice.

As Wishlist says, if you want traffic aware navigation, you'll have to wait for the new hardware, as the existing Go doesn't have the necessary Bluetooth hardware.

To my knowledge, the new Go versions are the first 'dedicated' navigation devices with traffic aware navigation. I don't believe the likes of Garmin, Navman and Medion have any traffic aware units.

Many thanks to Wishlist, Darren and DavidW for your comments. I had rather thought that the TomTomGo would be best for my needs but your confirmation is a great help. I guess that I will just have to be patient now and see how much the new units are unless I see a good deal on a current Go.
Thanks again.
