According to this review it does have postcode search, although only 5-character rather than 7. In general it gets a pretty good review, with the only real downside being the lack of support for speed camera databases.

The Speed Camera Database is available from PocketGPS

It does seem a bit of a waste if it doesn't do postcodes (5 characters will probably get you with in about a 1 mile radius which is no use to no one)

Does this actually have an "optional TMC cradle" with it?

Regarding postcode addressing it does state this in the review link...

Getting an address into the Nav-U50 is simple enough using the touch screen and a postcode, the software works using the first 5 digits of a UK postcode which gives road level accuracy or you can put in the full postal address and door number.

Which looks to me like you can use the full postcode and that the first 5 digits is purely for bringing up the road quickly.

The latest Navamn smartst3 for Pocket PC only goes to 5 digit postcodes and its fine, you do post code, sellect drop down road the house number, right to the door every time..
