What is the difference anyway?

The MIO 168 is the one officially available in the UK. The RS is not. If you get an RS in the UK, it is I believe a 'grey import'

The MIO168 RS comes with Windows mobile 2003 second edition, while the MIO168 still runs on Windows mobile 2003 (first edition).

All the MIO168's I have seen in the UK are Silver, while the 168RS's were a darker metalic grey.

A freind who had the RS version, had to return it under warranty, which was honoured in this country - but it was returned as the standard 168, not the RS version.

There may be other differences.

Thanks,

I'm in Canada and it's mostly RS's for sale but the odd internet store has non-RS's The SE operating system allows for portrait mode so that might be worth it there.

The best deal is at newegg.com for a navman pin with SmartSt 2005 but they won't ship to Canada Sad

I think that it is very much the case that while our 'Grey Import' is the 168RS, yours is the '168'.

I think it so unfair that we don't have the updated version (or even an update path) - Rip of Britain yet again!
