This is little more than idle curiosity... but does anyone own an i5 or i2?
There's a lot of i3 traffic on the site but I've not seen much on the other i models.

the i5 is a american version and the i2 is a black and white version thats just been released here in the uk, roughly about £40 to £50 cheaper than the i3....

I have an i5. I wanted to not be bothered with loading maps for my next destination, having been annoyed with that with another GPS solution I have. I love it. |

Is that a storage issue? The American i5 has all of the US and Canada in it, which is roughly the size of Europe. Does the i3 have all of western Europe or just the U.K.? |

you would have thought the new uk i3 would have the whole of europe loaded in it like the usa i5 but alas no, garmin will probably bring out a europe version i5 with all those europe maps on..the i3 (with and without card) only has the uk on it with the tip of northern france as well...
