Pre-Ordered A Nuvi 750

 

Expected to ship late October.

I opted for the 750 instead of the 760 because I'm just not getting much out of bluetooth on my 660...I'm just underwhelmed when it comes to bluetooth...people I talk to while on the road seem to favor using a bluetooth headset compared to using the 660; and using wired earbud/mics even better than bluetooth.

Now I'll be just patiently awaiting delivery.... smile

Pre-Ordered A Nuvi 750

I have been thinking that I need to get either a Garmin Nuvi 650 or 750 for my wife soon. Do we have any information on whether the Nuvi 650 will drop in street price anytime soon? I see that they are a penny apart on the MSRP. I have done the Garmin.com comparison and noted the obvious differences:

-Unit dimensions (slight)

-Battery life (5 vs. 7 hours)

-Routes (10 vs. 0)

-Auto sort multiple destinations

-MSN® Direct for U.S. compatible

-FM transmitter

Depending on how close they end up being on price, I think I will just go with the 650 for her. I am seeing a street price right now as low as about $440, so I might be hard pressed to spend an additional $50 for features that she wouldn't use. Does anybody here have any insight if the 650s are likely to drop even further as the 750s become more readily available?
