I volunteered. They treated my volunt with contempt, which means I didn't get a free shiny new TT (again!!).

It's probably something to do with your posts on their forum Dennis  |

I don't know - I'm a bit pseudonymic there (and anyway, I've hardly posted since I tried conning a shiny new TT out of them).

Your usual panache is unmistakable, and we all know what you drive.

You should have realised that you do sneaky about as well as you do subtle |

Didn't think you'd notice.

|
|
The new models have appeared on the TT website [not 4000 or 5000 yet]. No option to purchase from TT directly, but usual suspects eg Halfords, Currys, etc. apparently are taking orders.
No sign of my requested email from TT advising of when new models are available!

| I got an email from Amazon offering the whole range, UK and EU. Top price is £299, and UK models are £10 cheaper than the EU models. |

You gotta smile - a whole series of Q&A on what they aren't providing.

Wow. I can sort of understand no itineraries or POI - they have to be minor, but no local search (only via on board database) or Map Share (a key plank of their marketing for years now) is stunning. These really are fresh out of the box, cut features to deadlines models. Now, TomTom have a good reputation for doing software updates for older models, so they have time to fix these things, but it does seem quite amazing.
I shall hold off until that list is mostly "it's there". |

 How does that work then?

They obviously don't want a repeat of the 'NAV3 wishlist' topic!
