TomTom ONE 130 review

The TomTom ONE 130 updates the TomTom ONE 3rd edition, with a new design that includes a built-in mount, dubbed the EasyPort^TM, that stows on the back of the device. Other than the form factor, this new entry level model is almost identical to its older sibling.

Step up to the TomTom ONE 130-S and you'll also get text-to-speech, so you'll hear "turn right, Oak Street," instead of just "turn right."  All the units mentioned above have a 3.5" color touch screen, while the TomTom XL 330 sports a 4.3" wide-screen. Otherwise, it is identical to the ONE 130. To see how the ONE 130 stacks up against other units, check out my TomTom comparison chart.

UPDATE: I've posted a detailed hands-on review of the TomTom XL 330-S, which is identical to the TomTom ONE 130 except that it offers text-to-speech and a 4.3" screen.

Before we hear from others, here's a snippet of Amazon's TomTom ONE 130 review:

"TomTom is going for the ultimate in portability with the 2008 ONE 130 and ONE 130S by integrating a nifty fold-out mount right into the devices. No more trying to figure out where to stash that big, clunky mount in your car -- just pop it off, fold it up and carry the whole thing in your pocket. Of course, the ONE 130 series also features the plug and play ease of use, rock-solid navigation, and sleek designs we've come to expect from TomTom."
