      its been 130. I bought this a while back for 100 and am not disappointed at all. Loaded with features and love it. Although the gps could be better, aside from telling me to go down 1 way streets occasionally, I guess the maps just need to be more updated. But otherwise the unit itself is worth well over 100 or even 130. I'd pay at least 150 for this unit if I had to buy it again so go for it guys its still a sick deal.

      Thank you for the update! I really wanted to pick this up last time when it was on sale for $99.99, but I got a better deal at $98 today! I was about to pick this up yesterday because I couldn't stand it anymore, but was thinking and when I woke up, the price went down $30! I had to pick it up!

      I bought this unit the last time, I was able to put some other GPS software on it (IGo8) and it works like very well, I was also able to keep the BT and rest of the non GPS features but TMC. here is a link that explain how to doit and its very simple.

      People care too much for the brand name gps.If you guys look at the hardware. most of them use same chips and techonology.If you dont believe go out buy Nextar and Garmin then compare. From price to performance... Garmin is way too behind. And for this NOkia...from features, performance, and look = hella good deal. The best feature... you can download avi movie from online and play on it.

      Look at the price and the features. That's the reason why you buy this for less than $100. Believe the price hard workerup at Buy.com.

      tonin123, thanks for the info. I'm going to try it when I get it in the mail!

      stick with Garmin. When it's about getting lost or finding your way, why take a risk?

      I just got mine today and played with it for a couple of hours. So far so good. I tested pretty much everything and they all worked fine. I took 2 trips a small 4 mile local trip and a 20 mile freeway trip and both times GPS worked fine.
      The bluetooth phone connection works fine and was able to upload all my phone contacts fine(Tmobile Wing). I also tested receiving and calling from the device and the calls went through fine and also tested the FM transmitter and that worked also for streaming my music from wing to car stereo.
      The menus are a bit confusing but you'll get a hang of it in a couple of hours. The screen is beautiful.
