New TomTom One vs x10 range

[adrianhaslett]

OK I've just had a gander at the New TomTom One and I noticed it had Bluetooth so i'm assuming that means handsfree calling, so what's the difference older TomTom Ones did not have this I beleive and you had to step up to get it, but now it does why buy the x10 range is the spoken detailed instruction i.e turn right into joe street the only difference?.

According to that article. the new One only uses bluetooth for GPRS data so it can use TomTom Plus services, hands free calling isn't supported on the One

I see that's where we get the price hike then, if you want hnadsfree you need the x10 range, then it's just a choive if you want the detailed voice directions if you do then it's a 910 your at. Although I hear you can get the detailed voice diections if you get a bigger sd card and start doing some playing. At least i'm sure I read that on hear somewhere.

No, not any longer. TomTom have plugged that hole with v6.50 - Text-to-Speech is only possible on the 910. A really stupid decision in my opinion, but easy to explain - TomTom have to pay licence fees to Loquendo for each seat.

The TomTom ONE v3 is missing a critical piece - it doesn't have a microphone or external microphone connector.
