		<description>Got my new chrismas present today, a 1390T.

1. Querty is definitely an option (it seems to be the default)
2. The routing software seems to be oblivious to the presence of traffic lights (whereis maps ?) and tends to send you along say the princess highway rather than along the gore hill freeway .. go figure. 
3. The ecoroute software seems to differ completely from any available documentation, I&#039;m sure it works, but its annoying
4. The australian voices are the best of the bunch (more recent encoding perhaps), the british ones sound like a dalek ate a shakespearian actor
5. I now have three female voices that nag me in the car, my wife, my &quot;mini-me&quot; wife aka my lovely stepdaughter, and now &quot;Karen&quot;, who has a distinct note of disapproval whenever I choose not continue along the freeway when she thinks I should take an exit and she intones &quot;recalculating route&quot;. On the other hand I&#039;m so used to this from my flesh and blood females that I may be expecting it
6. The traffic avoidance thing is pretty good for roadworks, but not particularly snappy with its updates otherwise (though it was Xmas, so maybe it was just that there was nobody entering updates that day), a accident in Sylvania that jammed up King Georges road was notes on traffic update signs but didnt show on the satnav
7. Yet to try the GPS
8. Overall, despite the odd little quirk with its routing decisions I&#039;m pretty happy, so far.</description>

		<description>Any news on whether they&#039;ve dropped their stupid alphabetic keyboard layout or at least given the user an option to choose a QWERTY keyboard? Oh, and when it does its &#039;time to destination&#039; calculation, it actually takes into account real driving conditions instead of assuming thatyou&#039;ll be able to travel at the speed limit without stopping all the way.</description>
