I don't know when the embargo will be lifted but I stand by my original reply that an imminent release is 'highly' unlikely!

But easydevices show both a 520T and a 720T which come with TMC.

why is the price between the 2 so small it's like £30, for that difference i'm going for the 720 just because it's so much better ,i'm dumping my ppc for 1 of these babies even though it will break the bank

Does anyone know if a 920 or similar device will be launched in the new Go range? I dont wanna go and order a 720 and a month later they release a higher model such as a 920 etc.

TomTom have denied a 920 is planned. I have absolutely no information to suggest their is one in the pipeline (but I bet there is!).

I see that Dixons have now changed the 720 release date to 13th July, I wonder if anyone will get hold of one in July??

I did warn you!

Well common business sense would say to release it in time for the August holiday market I would of thought. As long as I can get one by 7th August I'll be happy though.

You are assuming that these dates were supplied by TomTom, my info is they were not, this is simple speculation by retailers, sticking a wet finger in the air.

Just ordered myself a 720 from Dixons, got the £10 pre-order discount, £10 July offer (thanks Speedcam!) and my 5% Egg card discount :D So a new 720 for under £300, bargain!

Quick question - will the maps be stored on internal memory? I want to use this to play mp3's and wondered if the SD slot will be free or occupied by the maps. And if its free whats the biggest size card I can get? I've seen 4gb cards around but many appear to be SDHC which I believe are not compatible...
