Hi Daniela,
My advice is to not buy him one at all. Instead get him a store gift card so that he can buy himself the one he wants and he can also take advantage of the sales after Christmas. The prices will be slashed and new and better models will arrive. I'm sure he'll be happy
Regards

I agree. I bought mine 3 months ago. It's almost half price now.
I could buy two for the price of one!

Abientot, are you talking about Tomtom share price? Its 94% down since last Xmas. If you bought $1000 worth of Tomtom shares last year - it worths $60 only.
Are they going belly-side-up?

| Based on the current TomTom share price, you can buy at least 1/2 of the company if you have another $1000.

... or a charger.
The TomTom charger seem to be especially expensive.
Why?

| I agree with the idea of getting him a gift card so he can decide which toy he want the most.

|
|
| As others have said, I would buy him like a gift card so he can get the one he really wants or try to pry info from him so you can get the one he really wants. There are so many to choose from now it's hard to make a decision. The bottom line is what features are you wanting and how much do you want to spend. Good luck!

Hi Daniela
Have a look at the new Garmin 760. It is great value and sells for around $530. There is a special on at the moment with purchases made before Christmas you become eligable for a garmen Etrak free of charge. They are selling for around $100.

Hi Daniela, one of your gift options could be Nuvi 850 or 880, I heard it will be released before X'mas. This is one of my X'mas wish.
This brand new GPS equipped with Voice-activated navigation, MSN Direct receiver, Bluetooth® wireless, speech recognition and much more.
Regards, Evan

Compare it with General Motors Corporation (GM).
Their Share price went down 94% over the last 9 years.
Are they going belly-side-up?
I wonder who will bail-out debt rich troubled TomTom?
