I'm currently using my TomTom GO 530 with my Nokia N95 8GB to get traffic updates. This set up is working very wel for me.

I want to upgrade to an Iphone 3G and want to know if it is possible to to use the iphone to get traffic updates.

Anyone know?

Thanks in advance

No it won't work as the iPhone doesn't support the Bluetooth DUN profile so all you get is basic handsfree via the TomTom no data connection is possible - Mike

Thanks Mike - that's prevented a mistake on my part. Looks like I'll be upgrading to a Nokia N86 or E71 instead.

Cheers

You could consider a cheap phone for data connections i.e. an old phone that does work with a PAYG SIM fitted and get a decent phone for main usage, not ideal but a few people do this.
The iPhone with a decent application installed can give the x30 TomTom a good run for its money, Navigon is still my favourite app but factor in the additional costs of a powered mount and bluetooth kit for the car as the iPhones speaker is pathetic - Mike
