TomTom One 3rd July 18, 2008
Received it in good time and I have used it a few times. Works fine for me.
TomTom 3rd edition July 18, 2008

Excellent service, fast shipping. The TomTom one 3rd edition is a great little gps system. The only problem I have is after the first initial map upgrade, subsequent upgrades are charged and this is not really explained before purchase. I'll probably sell this one instead of upgrading in a year or so as the new system won't cost much more than the upgrade. Other than that, works as expected.
 It's ok so far July 17, 2008
I've had it for a day, with the price I paid, I am very pleased with the unit so far. I am yet to try it with a longer trip to see how well it does the job.
So far, on local roads, the device seems to suggest routes that are somewhat counter-intuitive. In one instance, it directs me to my school in the opposite direction. I had to make a left to enter the campus, while it directed me to turn right, and stop in the middle of a major local road. It seems that it does not locate the address well, it made the destination a little off. I typed the address on Google maps and Mapquest, both locate the address more accurately than this GPS. But it's strange, because, it seems that Mapquest shares the same map that TomTom has.
I ordered two of these, one for my friend, another one for myself. I compared the two. one seems to pick up the signal faster most of the time, and with more satellites captured. the other one seems to be much louder when turned to the loudest volume. They are the exact same units, i do not know why they would perform differently. weird. I guess every gps is different even for the same brand and model.
I am primarily using this device when I travel to new places I never been to, for familiar places, i'd prefer not to use it. More reviews later.
Not reliable July 17, 2008
Quite often this GPS gives you not an optimal direction, then when you pursue a different way the device is trying to reposition itself and confuses you. Also, the voice directions do not call the streets names which is inconvenient.
 I loved my wife's so much, I bought my own July 17, 2008
We got a TomTom ONE for Christmas from my aunt, and we loved it so much that I had trouble sharing it with my wife. So...I went out and bought my own.
I've tried the Garmin nuvi and the TeleNav on my Blackberry, and neither one was as intuitive or helpful. They all got me from point A to point B, but not as "comfortably." One specific example of what I mean by this is that when I miss a turn, the Garmin nuvi plotted a new route and started telling me to make new turns. I wasn't sure if it was turning me around to get back to my original route, or if it had simply plotted a new go-forward route for me. When doing the same thing with the TomTom, when it wanted me to turn around, it told me "Turn around when possible." and then proceeded to guide me through turns that would get be back to my original route. When it wanted me to simply follow a new go-forward route, it omitted the "turn around" message, and simply continued providing turn guidance. It's these little things that make a difference for me, and I just like the way TomTom implemented them.
