Question Now Very Put Off Buying Today, Please Help Reassure Me!

Hi to all, a new member and my first post here

I was planning to order the Ipaq 2210, TomTom 3 Bluetooth, car kit combination bundle today as I beleive there now back in stock at TotalGPS but having spent the past few hours reading through this and another forum and seeing all the negative posts about this combination I've very seriosuly been put off alltogether.

Can anyone please tell me if the problem with constant loss of communication with the bluetooth reciecer and regular lock-ups is solely down to the TomTom 3 software/reciever? or is it a problem unique only when combined with the Ipaq 2210 only (i.e would buying the Ipaq 4150 instead overcome these common problems?)

Would buying the TomTom3 software seperately and an alternative brand of bluetooth GPS reciever solve the problem?

I'd very much welcome any fellow members advice on what the best bundle is to buy as I really wanted to get one today!

Thanks to everyone who reads this who can reply with your thoughts

EGG,
My personal preference after some bad experiences would be to go for either a cabled GPS receiver or a CF receiver. I personally ended up with a CF receiver, cause this made the unit portable for use on a motorbike, plus the Globalsat unit I bought came with the external antenna, which is usefull in most modern carss which have heated windscreens.

Drop me a line if you want any more info
