As for pairing I have a xda on o2 so it was automatic. Can't say I've seen it make any difference for being on though?
Competition is a good thing to keep the complacent on their toes!

I must admit I haven't looked into the Garmin units in detail but on the face of it you seem to get more for your money.

Another benefit is that I think the Garmins can be used with Google Earth - that would be useful for my work.

Incidently, I have the Tom Tom One... it is OK....does the job - I do feel like a slave to their map updates etc. now though... maybe the costs of these will decrease in time and with more users.
