SO for those of you that have the S1 would you buy it again if not why if so please give details of what you like. I'm currently looking into a portable model and I can tell you that there is allot of competition in this market.

Honestly, no I would not. Of course one of the things I wanted most was the bluetooth feature, which is nice and works well, it just as good/convient as I thought. Also I was well aware of the in-dash models reputation, so I thought it would carry into the portable model. However, for some reason they decided to go with a different map company which IMHO is not as accurate as it should be

The S2 will be out this year, so lots of places are whoring out the S1. Good time to pick up a decent portable for a few hundred bucks. If you want a better one, spend alot more and get a nuvi

Has anyone bought the S2? If so I'll ask teh same question would you buy it again?

I didn't buy it, but tried it out. VERY similar except the map data is now stored on an SD card, so you can take it out and put in an SD card filled with music to play when not using the navi. They did switch to TeleAtlas for mapping, but I didn't notice any major improvement or decline in my area. The routing could still be improved in my opinion
