the argos one does not have the satnav software but it does have gps, it is a bit misleading on the desc and box but if you read it over and over it does say you need to buy the software and cradle seperate if you can find it.

mine came with the software but you do need to buy the cradle from someware else

I think those who got the software have been very lucky and got a bargain, as the ones that Argos are selling with that code are supposed to be just the basic unit. Off to Argos tommorow

Mine has no satnav but luckily I persauded the store manager who wasn't sure that if I opened it at home and there was no gps to give me a refund - can anyone with the satnavversion let us know which store had it and if there was any clue from the box that it was the satnav version?

As I said earlier... My box has no mention of sat nav software anywhere on it... It has a small slip of paper (like you get when something last minute is added) and the card was with this. I have now sold it on to a guy I know as I was told by the store manager that these have a few weeks left at this price then they are going down to 50% off again so it will be £31 for it. He told me to keep the number and do the ring and reserve in a few weeks time (after the easter sale has finished..25th April)

But if it doesn't show up online and text and reserve doesn't work, how the hell can ring and reserve!??!

BTW, I checked Cannock store yesterday and it said that it was no longer stocked!!!

It works... Just try it. The voice tells you it is from an old catalogue and limited stock but it will check for you and let you reserve. You will need your local stores 3 digit code from thier website.

Will give it a try now, thanks!

Cheers mate, have found stock at 2 stores near me @ £64.49 (50p cheaper than the OP)

Not sure whether to go and check it out now and get one if its got the sat nav, or wait and see if they go down to £31 as you say!

Was the store manager certain that they would go down in price? Any idea of when?

He said after the easter sale they tend to get rid of any unsalable stock... As the gizmondo is from an unavailable catalogue it will go to 50% off to clear... Its usually for the staff but available to whoever has the 7 digit item no

More Q's sorry - was your product cellophane sealed with the stnav inside or was the cellophane gone?
