I am not sure whether to get the 300 now or wait for the 500.

The 500 has the benefits of double processor speed, ASN, and bluetooth hands free

I am interested to know, would the tomtom benefit from extra processor speed, was the original one ever slow?

Was the ASN any good?

Don;t buy the 500 for the speed benefits over the 300, I have the 300 and it is really quick - miles faster than TT3 on my IPAQ. If you want the phone then fine but otherwise save your cash.

Never had any issues with the speed of the original GO...calculates routes in a few seconds, even cross-Europe ones. Sure a faster processor may do it in 3 seconds instead of 5, but when I'm going to be driving for 12 hours I don't care! If you go off the route, it also recalculates in a second or two.

ASN...it's raely kicked in for me, but that's because I don't drive thru many tunnels. The odd time it has kicked in, it seemed to work well enough.
