Tomtom XL330S
I love my Tomtom EXCEPT that one of the main reasons I chose this particular model was because it speaks the street names. When I first received the XL330S, I didn't hear street names and couldn't find any instructions concerning this matter. When I called Tomtom, the customer representative told me that I need to have Samantha's voice in order to hear street names. Since this is a big selling point on this model, I think that ALL the voices should say the street names. EVERYTHING else is wonderful AND Samantha's voice is loud and clear.

Pretty good, READ about speaker issue
I've had this GPS for a month or so now, and it's pretty good. I've seen all the issues with the speaker on all these reviews, and I think I have an idea of what that is. But overall, I like it.
Pros
It does everything as advertised, speaks street names, usually has strong signals, re-plans routes etc. I'm not unhappy with it, but I'm more interested highlighing its MINOR flaws as they irritate me.
Cons
1) Ok, the speaker issue. I too experienced this, but I think it's by design. There's a setting on it that lets you specify if you want the speaker either at your volume all the time, or (and this is default), IT ADJUSTS THE SPEAKER VOLUME RELATING TO YOUR SPEED. So the slower you go, it gets quieter. You go faster, it gets louder. Go to "Change Preferences", then "Volume Preferences". There's a checkbox that says "Link volume to car speed". Uncheck it to have normal volume all the time.
2) Are they kidding with the power connector? It takes 5 minutes trying to put the plug in its recess.
3) I don't think it has the POIs that the Garmin does, at least they're not as easy to find in the UI
4) it's not memory expandable. I plugged it in, downloaded the user road updates, and I've only got 20 megs left! I can't download ANY of the other maps or anything. RETARDED! This is probably one of my biggest complaints.
If I had to do over again, I would probably have gotten the Garmin 205W. But, c'est la vie. Enjoy...

Didn't work right
Purchased the 330S and it wouldn't announce upcoming turns by street names as it is supposed to do. Also voice was so low on maximum one could barely hear anything with the car moving, radio off and windows rolled up. Totally unacceptable. Returned it for another, and that one also didn't announce upcoming turns by street names. Returned it also for a refund and will end up purchasing a Garmin 260W.
Amazon's return policy is excellent and timely.

Very Easy to Use
Bought this product after a lot of research online and in stores. Am extremely satisfied. It is very easy to use right from the getgo. The only negative as far as I'm concerned is the user booklet. I had to make a few calls to their technical department when I couldn't figure something out. They were helpful and didn't have any wait time. I think the booklet could have been more detailed in it's instructions. My son bought the exact same one after seeing ours. Love the spoken street names which cost more in other makes and models.

i like it
hi i bought this excellent peice of GPS after reading many reviews in Cnet and other related websites..after very careful reviewing i bought it from amazon for an amazing price and still the GPS is the excellent peice i have bought so far..my previous one being the magellan.. i am sure TOmTom will upgrade its website to have us all the updated maps as early as 2008..well it doesnt have the MP3 play back option in the unit .. i find many pros while 2 cons.. it doesnt support a SD card slot and its mem is 1gb..however it should have street spelling option instead of calling the turns..well its the price that makes it worth..
