| Nice find, I suspect it is a mistake although reading the text that accompanies the picture it is clearly describing a device with new functionality that is not currently available - Mike |

920 / 930 and now 940 in space of a couple of months, are they just trying to annoy people by outdating peoples' hardware almost immediately?!
Probably just another firmware upgrade they could've offered existing owners, but instead decided to issue a whole new model number. |

Bit of an oops maybe? Possibly info we shouldn't have seen yet.
Here is a screenshot showing the page prior to removal:

In the time the link was up, appeared to look just like a 920 or 930. Offered 3-month free trial of HD traffic, weather, mapshares (!) and other stuff and then user could opt for continued subscriptions at 'reasonable prices (their quotes, not mine). |

Edit:
I removed the same image last night as it is well outside the forum rules, any images must be no more than 400 pixels wide - Please don't get the idea I am acting as a TomTom Internet Police/ Kill Joy but we do have to maintain the forum rules at all times, resize the image and it can stay but keep it down to below 400 Pixels in Width (there is plenty of wasted space to the right of the image that can easily be removed  )
