Have I got this right that some sat navs can be used with your mobile as hand as free?
I am going buying one tomorrow and I also was going to buy a hands free. I was settled on the tomtom one for £150, don't really want to spend more than that, but now I have heard about this I am rethinking.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

    Thanks for that I saw the offer but apparently the OP has posted again saying the offer was wrong. Also I have read people saying that the tomtom one cannot be used as hands free so I'm not sure now?

    My garmin nuvi 310 has bluetooth connectivity and is also a brilliant sat nav.

    I have a tomtom with hands free and personally for me, it's [EMAIL="cr@p"]!!!!!![/EMAIL], it's not loud enough and distorts and you have to have this microphone on a wire so close to your mouth for you caller to hear, I end up holding the microphone which is a pain or even worst, I end up having to hold the tomtom by my ear to be able to hear it - not good in my books and no I ain't have any problems with my hearing before any of you comment ;-)

    I have the TT one V2 it does not have hands free facility.

    It does have a bluetooth capability for connecting your phone to the unit but this is for receiving some of the "Plus" options they offer like live traffic alerts for hold ups etc.
