TomTom Go 720 Traffic Sat Nav system - will not be released
Discussion
I have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Tomtom Go 720T (Traffic) sat nav. I have just spoken to Tomtom customer services and they say that this model will not be released in the UK due to too many problems with the traffic (TMC) receiver. This is all very strange as this 720T is being advertised as coming into stock with so many UK retailers. According to this customer service representative, due to the problems with the TMC Receiver on the Go 710 unit, they will not make any receiver for the UK market.
This is not the first time I have spoken to Tomtom about this matter, but it is the first time I have heard this answer. Does anyone out there have any info on this unit's release? The Garmin Nuvi 660 seems to incorporate the traffic device, so why cant Tomtom?
Would it be possible to buy a unit in Europe (where the 720T version is available) and use it as normal in the UK, or would there be associated problems?
Many thanks
