Garmin's iQue 3600

I see that Garmin's iQue 3600 is now shipping with a cost of $589.

Anybody had any experience with this? It seems equivalent to the TT2, but with the addition of the GPS device makes it much more valuable. I like my TT because its size lets me carry it in my front pants pocket. The iQue is just one inch longer, five, which is about the same as the TTwith the slider open and that still fits fine, too. Just curious if any users out there have been able to switch all their programs and data from the TT to the Garmin device.

I just found it on Tiger GPS (http://shop.store.yahoo.com/tigergps/gariq36incol.html) for $455.

If garmin 3600 have integrated BLUETOOTH I would buy it starightaway!!!
If i am not mistaken the released date was delayed due to GPS vs Bluetooth interference and they have no other choice,but to omit bluetooth on last minute with this new release ,

May be with the new model ique?3700???

Just came back from J&R in NYC to take a look at the T2. I've always had the latest and greatest, but am going to take a pass this time around.

I've got my T pretty loaded, making good use of the memory card and still have 6 MB free. The new display was nice, but, I couldn't justify the $$ for it.

And, I'd have to get used to G2.

For those thinking about upgrading from T 2o T2, my $.02 is to hold on for the next model.
