I hate Tomtom

This was from TomTom customer support. I'm UK based and contacted the UK support people.

================================================
Tomtom Navigator 7 will be released in the UK soon. However, we do not have an estimate date to provide. Once the compatibility list has been released, then you can check if your device is compatible. If yes, you have the option of purchasing the software and maps for this version. It is possible that some PDAs will come with pre-installed Navigator 7 and the software alone be available to be purchased from our website. However, we do not have this information yet at the moment and could not confirm this to customers.

We will of course ask though I doubt we'll get an honest answer! However we are meeting with senior management so I'll do my best with the thumbscrews!

Just to be clear, the message I posted came to me directly from TomTom as a reply to me asking them if TT7 was to be released as an upgrade (i.e. software only) as I had heard it was only going to be available pre-installed on some PDA's. It's not a quote I found on a web site or anything like that.

That said, it could be the lady who answered had also been misinformed for her superiors.

Let's hope she's right! As much as people knock TomTom, I've been using Navigaotr on PDA's since version 2 and I just feel at home with it.

I find it hard to believe that TomTom CS have been cleared to confirm TTN7 Upgrades will be available when product managers have only very recently stated TTN7 will only ever be offered pre-installed in future but nothing would surprise me!

I'm not doubting what you have been told, just the accuracy of the info btw!

So 6 months later they sneak it out and don't even email me ! LMAO !

Just by chance I looked at their website and there it was TTN7 for windows mobile, at last !

Check your phone is compatible before purchasing it as it will only load to specific devices - Mike

Thanks, I had already checked, it will run on my XDA Orbit 2, but nexty month I'll be getting the HTC Touch Pro 2 and it's not currently suopported on that, not sure why, maybe it's the screen resolution is too high?

Thanks for the advice though.

I wouldn't worry about it...my phone's not supported either, but it works just fine.

Hi frequent, what phone are you running it on?

I would expect it run on all standard WM6.1 devices (vga or qvga) but I was not sure about running it on a device with an 800 x 480 display.

Still I suppose I could always test it with a 'trial' copy before I fork out for it.
