Its not a pocket pc though is it??

I was under the impression it was only running windows CE which gave it the functionality to play mp3's as well.

I went looking for one today and they have sold out everwhere, guess i did'nt see this thread in time

Anyone living in the Manchester area don't bother looking, iv'e tried 5 stores and they have all gone.

Keep up the good work tho, i'll hopefully be a bit quicker next time!

Ive got the Garmin. Few problems though, the time is saying 9 am when its gone 9pm (time zone is Western Europe - no option for GMT).

It also thinks im in central london and always says "Locating Sattelites". A few people seemed to have the same problems so ive stuck it out side on the step and going to leave it there for 30 minutes or so and hopefully it will work.

Have you tried Kwiksave, they are still marked at full price, yet scan at reduced prices.

The PDA version is a fully fledged windows mobile 2003 pocket pc - MP3 - video etc. etc. and is well worth the money in my opinion - I had 8 sat lock in my front room last night - 10 sat lock in car on way to work and it works perfectley thru the windscreen of my picasso - where other gPS units have failed (other more expensive ones I might add!) BUT the navigon software is PANTS! I stuck an old version of tomtom (3) on it - this is MUCH faster and easier to use!

Hi Chris, it just needs time to sort out where it is as it lived in China, was then put in a box and told to keep quiet.

I was refering to the mio268 and the fact that it seems to be running windows CE.
