      No bluetooth, and no lifetime traffic either.

      Ben is wrong again. Nowhere on the Amazon listing does it say the unit is refurbished. So, #1, a new one is running $160 until the Gold Box expires.

      Sweet price, then! I checked it yesterday (was referring to it on a post over at Anandtech forums), and it was $189.99.

      The voice recognition is pretty good, depending on how well you enunciate your words. Definitely worth reading the review by a fellow named "Nuvifan" at Amazon, to realize the full worth of this unit.

      So far as lack of bluetooth and lifetime traffic, I really didn't need either one, so didn't care that it didn't have it.
