I tinkered with a 3200 a week ago..Seemed very user friendly. Probabaly good for a newbie. Then i went to a 200 nuvi.Fast map responce time. Now wife has that and i'm at a nuvi 350 now..just right.. Good luck..
Well.....In a word...FANTASTIC!!! Fast, EASY, Accurate, and this is just my first day. Very clear and accurate voice prompts...tested the Bluetooth and it worked just fine. Only problem is I probably spent $15 worth of gas driving around testing. Stay tuned.
I just bought a Magellan 3250 a couple of days ago. I did a review and found for my price-point that it was the best option. One thing I like is the voice command recognition. It didn't have any problems this although it was a bit larger selection. I have not activated the traffic update yet so can't offer any insights.
The Navateq maps are good and I've heard they are superior to the TeleAtlas maps. I will be playing around the SD card and POI custom libraries.
I use Sprint as my cell carrier and hear that the choice of Bluetooth compatible phones is limited for Motorola phones. Seems like a wide array of cell phone types are supported for Cingular.
Overall I am happy with it and would purchase it again.
Bought my son the 3250 for Christmas. We got as far as entering his home address when the thing quit. It went back to the store. Never buy a Magellan product again.
It sounds like you didn't even give it a chance. Have you ever bought a new car and something didn't work on it? Did you take it back and say you would never buy that make again?
Why did it quit? Was it plugged in? I just bought a 3250 for Christmas and haven't actually used it yet, but just playing with it, it seems pretty cool. Mine had a little charge on the battery when I opened it that lasted about 30 minutes. I'm giving it a full charge now.
I just bought a 3250 for my wife. She is a traveling nurse in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area. The base map was created in first quarter of 2007 and the I-35W bridge collapsed in Aug/sept of 2007. Their technical support has not been helpful at all in helping me figure out a workaround. I have the NAVTEQ traffic updates turned on but nothing seems to recognize that the bridge is out and the road is closed. Any suggestions anyone?

I will post a report as soon as I receive mine (will have on Dec 4th) Everything I have read so far is that this is a great GPS.

I got mine 3225 for Christmas, played with it ever since, very simple to use. I love it, you might try it to see for yourself.

Magellan 3140
I have Magellan 3140 which is 3250 minus voice recognition. I have now upgraded it with new firmware 2.16 and 6 million POIs posted in another forum.
I have traveled a lot with this gps and it has never failed me to impress. I love it.
