Have had mine since mid-July. Full of bugs, but at least Garmin email support seems supportive. Was going to wait until September to put in a full comparo between the 1490T and my trusty 200W. By then I will have had 8 different cities from around the country to show experience from (San Diego, Cleveland, Ft. Worth, Dover (NJ), Portsmouth (VA), Columbus (OH), Detroit, and Dayton).

I have it. Love the big
I have it.
Love the big screen.
The voices are LOUD. Which is very nice.
Bluetooth sounds great, according to those I talk to.
Things I don't like:
Current bug that won't let you view more than 128 waypoints without resetting the unit and losing all your user data.
Waypoint names do no show up on the maps. This is intentional, according to Garmin.
Random reboots. Hopefully a patch will fix this.
The power plugs into the unit directly, and not the holder. Which means you have to unplug it each time you want to take it out of the car.
The unit has potential. But it is buggy right now.
So far not impressed
