Does anyone use the bluetooth facility on the 500 or 700 units? Does it work well, with nice clear conversation?

I have heard that the sound from dedicated hands free setups is excellent, but if the tom tom is acceptable I can kill 2 birds with one stone. Just need to convince o/h that her navigating wont cope with our trip to france this summer.
many thanks

It does not support all bluetooth phones,Nokia and Motorola are well supported but Samsung can be problematical.
On Tom Toms website is a list of supported phones

If motorola is supported then I should be ok. I didn't know that bluetooth had compatibility problems, but then I have never used the bluetooth potential of the phone yet. I'll check the website before buying.

I have a tom tom and as for bluetothh well it works great but (you knew there was a but coming) they cant hear me. the sound from the unit is superb but the mic is just to far away.
They sell a mic that you can plug in (£14) well worth it.
Dont hesistate to get a tom tom, brilliant peice of kit
Just a word of caution, if you are going to buy one...WAIT as the new models are coming out during this month they are the 510,710 and 910.
If you look on the tom tom web site you can read up on all the improvements.
Breifly they are wide screen , improved mapping, ipod compatibility, better software, charging dock....you get the picture.

Its August we need it, for our trip to france to berny riviere. It might be worth waiting for price drops. At the moment the price seems to be around the £350 mark. Can people hear you o.k. when using the optional mic?

The wife Paid £315 on sale for £349.99 from Argos but that was with her discount thought that was a good price.Did see the new ones coming out in April but thought the 700 was too good an offer to let it go.
