Page 1 of Acer N35 Lite PDA 266MHz SatNav £196.86 + del

ebuyer have been selling this for a while at around £235 so this represents a good saving. I`ve no idea what SatNav software comes with this I`m afraid.

I have been looking at this product and believe it`s now £199 at Comet. It is bundled with Destinator 3 which I found flawed in some places - incorrect turns occassionally, momentary freeze ups, installs itself whenever the SD card software is plugged in). I have sinced turned my attention to the MIO 168 (and others based on the MIO 168) which comes with the far superior Navigator 5 software.

I`ve been looking at both of these recently..... Comet do indeed have them at £199.99 (with free standard delivery) & Quidco offers 3.5% cashback btw. (256 Mb SD card with Destinator 3)

Note that this is the *Lite* version of the N35. As far as I can tell that means no AC Mains charger (and I need one). Comet also mentioned 2D mapping instead of 3D but I`m not convinced.

If you want to be able to pick up the Mio 168 (inc. software) then Staples have them for £199.99. (it comes with car + mains charger as well as an external aerial which may be useful for some). It also has a 128 Mb SD card (with the mapping s/w).

After a day of looking on the web (as I need one ASAP) I found one place doing the Mio 168 with NO software & NO SD card - for about £186 delivered. I plumped for one off ebay (no SD, no s/w) so I could use a 10% off paypal code (£192.99 - £13.89 [$25 max]) including p&p.

You can get a 1 Gb SD card on ebay for £29.98 delivered at the moment. (though both these may or may not take some 1 Gb SD cards). Tom Tom & mp3s here I come :)

I got this wrong, sorry. As hongkongphooey says this is the lite version, ebuyer are still selling the non-lite version at the normal price.

not listed on their website but that`s par for the course with Staples. This sounds very attractive. IIRC the Mio 168 is the model Lidl was offering for around £250.

IIRC They had some offer prices on Sat Nav at staples that finished on something like 13th December. I was quite surprised to see next to nothing on the staples website - they had lots of gps / pda in store.

BTW - Comet do the full version for £229.99 online (£249.99 instore).

As for the mio 168 - it`s been around for a while now........ DABs seem to have cleared theirs out - at £169.99 - but I missed those :( - perhaps others will follow.
