I was already a tomtom convert.

I just got a new pda from work, it has navigon 6 installed. I've only played with this for about 10 minutes in the hotel, and already I HATE IT.
Main defects
entering a postcode
You get an ABC keyboard, you have to switch between letters and numbers with a 123 button, like the Navman.
There is no option to have an alpha or qwerty keyboard

even if I start it in Landscape, it wastes most of the screen.

There is no navigate from A-B.

It spends ages doing stuff, and twirling icons

The mapping does look better than tomtom, but I'll never find out, I'll load tomtom over the top. It seems pretty stupid for F-S, on one hand to build an incar satnav with Tomtom, then to put this load of crap on their latest pda, I thought this was going to be a PDA/phone/GPS all in one, but I'm sadly dissapointed.

Are there some advanced config options that are hidden from me?

And yes, there is a lot of customisation that uses the xml files.
