Couldn't be better
I don't know who makes these. Mine's been thrown around the car chucked under seats and generally mistreated, and still it sits there happily.It did stop working recently, so I took it apart, messed around with it, and then realised the USB cable had snapped, and the battery was dead! All back together and still it worked.I've now purchased a SiRF III version of it.Its one of the smallest BT GPS units I've seen available, and is a lot better built than some of the unbranded crap you get on ebay.I cannot recommend this enough. The price is frankly stupid - It's worth double.Oh and by the way, mobilefun change £2.50 for normal postage, and I've not ordered anything yet that hasn't arrived the next day.Buy!

Stunning
I had a whale of a time trying to get this working on a laptop or netbook, but after a bit of tinkering with Windows Mobile the TomTom Nav GPS status screen lit up like a christmas tree. It's a lot more powerful than any internal GPS receiver I've ever used, including that in the TomTom One. I can't find one good reason to deduct a star.

Get them while you can !
This unit is only slightly larger than a box of matches and weighs slightly more. It paired up easily with my v1640 (aka HTC Universal) although I had to guess the pairing code was 0000. Even though there are no instructions and not even a company name on the item, the single button does it all. Hold down for a few seconds for off and again to power up.It takes a few seconds on power up to aquire about 6-7 satellites and you're away.Accuracy is good enough for me,street corners came up at the same time that I arrived on them and the speed was only a couple of MPH's out, and that's on a converted Jap import Pajero.I'm not sure if that's the TomTom or the GPS unit which calculates that. I've had one problem whereby it didn't find any satellites but the PDA could talk to it OK but that was cleared by removing and inserting the battery.
