Hi masseur,
I think I will be placing an order very soon!
can I ask what memory card you are using? I am thinking 8 Gig microSD card are available now...
I think TomTom Navigator 6 DVD is the one for the TyTn II and I can install through the TomTom Home the same as for the W950i.

I'm using a sandisk 4gb micro SDHC at present. I haven't seen 8gb available yet although 6gb are out. I heard November is when we'll see 8gb.
Yeah, TT navigator 6 is what you get on the CD with the TyTN II together with the ability to download one city (such as London) to try it out.
I bought western europe maps direct from the tomtmo site and downloaded last night (950mb+!)... and yes, you need to install the Home program to do the download and the install.
I still prefer the interface of my Garmin nuvi 670 but the tomtom will get me there well enough if I don't have the Garmin with me.

my guess is that you would need to buy new maps since your licence is only for one device.
the tomtom Home application asks for the device id which will be different from your One gps id

yep, made the switch. TyTN II is numero uno now
yeah, I had the TyTN, and the k-jam, and the Jam, and the JasJar and... well.. anyway... The TyTN II feels like a more refined/finished product and definitly the mm they have shaved off to make it thinner makes a noticeable difference. The slide out keyboard is as good to type on as the original TyTN but they have rearranged the front buttons so they are all around the d-pad (previously internet and email were at the top). The camera is a little better for its increased resolution but still missing things like macro (although the autofocus does a reasonable job). They also removed the IR port.
I browse extensively in the morning and evening on the train to/from work and I've also noticed that it holds a 3g/hsdpa data connection much better than the P1.
The GPS is heaps better than the one in the N95 that I had and outdoors, locks take seconds only, and indoors no more than 40 seconds.
as I've mentioned before though, the battery is the one down point. Its the same capacity as the original TyTN (1350mAh) but lasts probably 20% less.

I still can't get my gps to connect. it just says "waiting for valid gps signal"
might be because im in Guernsey....will have to wait till next month when im in the uk to test it I suppose!

gps is global so I'm sure its not your location. I've never been to a place on the planet where I couldn't get a GPS lock. Mind you I haven't been to either pole yet
on the expansys forums there are a couple of people who haven't been able to get a lock so I wonder if there isn't perhaps a few with problems.
the message you mention suggests it recognises something from the GPS otherwise you'd get the message "no gps device!"
you have run the quickGPS application and clicked download to get the latest satelite positions?

@Masseur
I'm sure it does hold a better 3G/HSDPA connection as the P1 only has 3G and doesn't have HSDPA but with out meaning to get picky I'm sure most knew what you meant. But thought it may be worth mentioning unless some suddenly thought the P1 does in fact have HSDPA which of course it doesn't.

yes, you're quite right of course. to explain further then...
on the same journey using 2 t-mobile sim cards the P1 would drop back to gprs or lose the data connection completely noticeably more than the TyTN II. I did this check on most of my commutes last week and there is no doubt.

I ran rhe quick gps app,loaded googlemaps which after around 30 secs said - Your GPS receiver does not appear to be responding.
Make sure you have a GPS receiver, that it is turned on and correctly configured to work with Google Maps for Mobile. See below for instructions.
if I load tomtom it says looking for valid gps..
