Sorry guys,

I have just been speaking to my contact in TomTom, and apparently the new release of the software is still in test at this moment. They obviously want to release it as soon as possible, but it aint going to be today. Crying or Very sad

No further dates were mentioned so I suspect that it will be quite soon, but no commitments are being made. I will let you know any further news as I get it.

Now i wonder why I'm NOT surprised.

Somehow i was expecting that it wouldn't be released.

Like i said before "The 12th of NEVER"

I hadn't seen this thread,telling of the delay(before posting elsewhere)it seems that although the TT Go hardware is top notch,the after sales service is second rate.
I wonder if it was a case of a rush release for the product with little or no thought to the follow up services?
Early days yet,but like lots of new tech products this smacks of sell the goods and b~~~~~ the customer.

I suppose your not to blame, you only reported what your contact said, so he's more to blame for giving you the 12th.

Anyway, we've got the main course, it's just a case of waiting a little longer for the desert.

12th August, 17:45 BST and no sign of the update on Tomtom's web-site - I feel vindicated now!!

Can you give us an aproximate idea when we can now expect this release? Are we talking days, weeks or months? Just so I know how often to keep checking this forum. Confused

We are talking weeks rather than months here.

I have just had permission from one of the TomTom directors to show the new software release at our Pub Meet on September 4th. He says he is 98% certain that it will be released by then but even if not we can still show it.

If you would like to see the TomTom Go complete with the new software release running the PocketGPSWorld.com Speed Camera database in action why not come along to our next Pub Meet. You will also have a chance to win some free GPS gear click here for details.

Some of you who have been frequenting the forums today will have noticed a hate thread forming, attacking both innocent users and the PocketGPSWorld Team.

Neither I, nor the rest of the PocketGPSWorld.com team will tolerate this! You know exactly who you are, and everyone else who has been reading the threads know exactly who you are. You have already been warned publicly, and if you continue to do so, everyone visiting PocketGPSWorld.com will suffer and we will disable the forums going forward.

You have been warned! If you want to continue, go to another site, or setup your own site, do not spoil this for the rest of the PocketGPSWorld.com followers who want to co-exist in a peaceful, pleasant and informative atmosphere and not only receive the latest news as it hits the GPS scene, but also receive that all important free technical support and advice.

The PocketGPSWorld.com team and moderators spend over 200 hours combined each day to help you out in your purchases and providing free technical support in their own time and that doesn't even come close to including the amount of time we spend writing reviews on a daily basis.

I, the team and the moderators will not tolerate this form of behaviour or any form of behaviour including bad language, or attacks either towards the PocketGPSWorld.com team, moderators or other readers.

Now, everyone stop bickering, shake hands and make up! Let's all bury the hatchet and get this back to what it should be, an informative site that everyone likes to visit!

The only changes we're aware of in the new version are POI's. There maybe some bug fixes also, but we're not aware specifically of any bugs fixed.

I agree, keyboard should be qwerty rather than an abcd keyboard. Regarding hardware, TomTom like other companies e.g. Navman try to keep the lids on what hardware are contained within. We know that the screen is a Pocket PC style screen, but the guts are more Palm/Pocket PC based running under a hybrid Linux.
