Hi all
Just spent the all day reading and trying to convince myself that i need a 2020...now that that part is done...i still have some doubts 8)

My first doubts were between choosing the p900 and the 2020, the choice is done...so lets move on.

Does the 2020 have a pen that i can use to take quick notes like handwriting (like in the p800/900), i'm an old school 3m yellow sticker addict and i need to grab quick notes every 5 minutes, so that would come real handy. If it's not included (havent seen it in any pics yet) wich one should i get, and does it fit anywhere in the 2020? or do i need some kind of case or something?

Also on the gps side, it would be great to have gps in my car since i travel a bit, wich model is the cheapest (or the better compromise between price / quality ).

Thanks in advance for your help, and I hope to get my 2020 real soon so that i can take advantage of all your knowleadge :D

Thanks
Pac

Yes a stylus is supplied, you can buy a pen/stylus also, that is a ordinary pen one end and a stylus the other, you can scribble notes on the screen (using stylus) or draw plans etc. If you wish to use the gps anywhere besides the car I would suggest a bluetooth wireless type, the original tomtom bluetooth gps can be had very cheaply on ebay now. If you only wish to use it in car then I suggest a cheap wired version such as Haicom HI-203e or HI-204e, this will come with a lighter plug attachment to power gps and charge your phone at the same time, the lead is also contains the data connection. This type of gps usually use the nmea format at 4800 bps and is compatable with just about all navigation software. I would suggest you look at tomtom version 3, details at www.tomtom.com. There are plenty of others but I think tomtom is the most popular and you can download free software that will warn you of upcoming speed cameras, also there are numerous overlays for locating places like gas stations, airports etc plus free stuff that allows searching by postcode.
