bought a few goodies

Be prepared to send your B2 back when it breaks. Yes that's when not if. I don't know anyone, myself included, who hasn't had to send it back at least once.

in what way does it break ?

 

[cpufreak]

umm

- the cradle stops working
- it randomly looses signal
- speaker breaks
- fails to get GPS lock
- failed to boot
- locks up on upgrade

to think of a few

Mine decided it didn't want to power on in the car yet worked in the USB cradle.

Admittedly it came back from Origin within a few days, but that's not really the point.

so in all a good buy

Mine didn't make any noise at all.

The replacement unit worked fine for 2 years but then stopped seating correctly in its cradle and just beeped a lot.

Shame, because I still think it's one of the neatest units available and when it works it works superbly.

When they work they're fantastic units, it's just a shame they have a pretty high failure rate.

nice goodies lee, unlucky to hear about the b2's potential faults mate.
