Go 600 or Go 6000?

This review says TT has put a 3G SIM card in the 6000 - I'll keep looking for further info.

I would be very suspect about the comment saying the 6000 could be used anywhere in North America.

With the Nav 3 devices, US LIVE models use AT&T while the LIVE model in Canada uses Rogers. The two telecos do NOT get along.

And I don't see any changes to that in the future.....

I currently work for a comms company and we are currently installing 4G for Vodafone and are at the moment they are retaining all three technologies 2G/3G/4G
There is a lot of vehicle tracking that is still heavily reliant on 2G so it looks like its still going to be around for a while as its still big in fleet management and other Telemetry services.

OK, there's this from facebook, but who knows if Ted might not be the author?

I think it's 99% safe to assume it is a 2G/GPRS modem in the GO5000/6000 Wink

I am thinking off buying a TomTom Go 6000 and find this discussion interesting.

I will contact TomTom for an answer on what sim they put in

Will let you know the answer

On another subject does anyone know if we can still add the PGPS World speed camera's to this unit?

Thanks

I doubt if TT Support will know what SIM is in it!

The new range will not accept any custom POI file sets but they are promising a future update to allow this. A bit like they promised a lot of other things...

Received the following reply

Dear Mr. Burns,

Thank you very much for your interest in TomTom and our newest product. I would herewith like to confirm that the TomTom 6000 works with a 2G sim card which should be more then enough to transfer the data needed for HDT traffic.
I hope this anwsers your question.
Please let me know should you have any further questions.

Thank you.

With kind regards,

Executive Assistant, TomTom

Didn't all this 2G stopping idea come about as a poster in another thread quoted someone from AT&T talking about running down 2G in some areas?

Whatever AT&T do with 2G will not affect anyone in Europe, unless of course they travel to the States. I am not aware of anyone in the UK running down 2G services and I am in part of the supply chain to UK mobile operators.

My 3 contract does not allow tethering and I would either have to pay extra for this, change to the One plan for £10pm more or use my company phone if I wanted to use tethering. My other big concern is data roaming charges when in Europe which would be free with the 6000 model.
