My advice is don't wait for the free upgrade, because it wont arrive! I am still chasing for my 2009 map upgrade and was informed that I was recorded as having registered for 'sales' e-mails and not the map upgrade registration, even though I did it via the NavDesk CD. I was then informed that all the free upgrade maps had gone, but they would see what they could do and I have been given a link to 'MioMore' - does this mean anything to anyone? Other than that, I am quite happy with the S80.

I have had the S80 for about 10 months now and the mapping is as good as any TomTom I have used. The TMC only seems to work if you ensure the the hole in the end of the cable is facing out of the windscreen. The bluetooth works well, however I could never get the contacts from my blackberry, but since changing to a Sony this now works.

I am waiting for the email regarding the free map upgrage.

I HAVE HAD THE S80 DELUXE FOR 7 MONTHS NOW & HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS DEVICE.I ALSO DO NOT AGREE WITH CERTAIN ISSUES IN THE ABOVE REVIEW
THE TMC DOES WORK, THE CABLE PLUGS INTO THE CRADLE & IT IS ALSO PRETTY GOOD FOR A SERVICE THAT DOES NOT NEED SUBSCRIPTION
THE BLUETOOTH WORKS GREAT WITH MY PHONE, NO PROBLEMS TRANSFERRING CONTACTS EITHER.(OBVIOUSLY SOME PHONES WORK BETTER THAN OTHERS WHEN IT COMES TO BLUETOOTH & I BELEIVE THERE IS A LIST OF COMPATIBLE PHONES)
I HAVE ALSO JUST INSTALLED THE LATEST MAPS WITH NO PROBLEMS, JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.
REGARDING THE TEXT TO SPEECH, THE MANY REVIEWS I READ ON THIS DEVICE STATED IT DID NOT INCLUDE THIS ABILITY, BUT EACH TO THEIR OWN I SUPPOSE!

I too have been very confused about the S80 and S80 Deluxe. I guess that it is the computer generated voice that enables street name speaking, and the English voices do not support speech synthesis, whereas, the Australian 'Kate' voice does.
