TomTom Go 730? Think twice!

I got a TomTom 730 as a present. It looks to be an impressive device. Well it could be an impressive one, but it isn't. It supports voice recognition. Not here, in Hungary. It can read out street names loud. Not in Hungarian (don't try English with local street names). It handles TMC. The broadcasting of TMC data and it's quality sucks here. Months after the biggest part of the famous ringroad around Budapest has been opened for traffic, the maps did not include it. Took them a year at the very minimum.

The good news is that they are actively selling this device, but considering that most of the good features just do not work here, I don't see any difference between this and a 100 euro cheap noname PNA? Its maps also sucks, it can not read anything out loud either, it does not have voice recognition either, and so it goes on. But you can buy three cheap ones for the price of one TomTom Go 730... Perhaps I'd choose different colors, black for the morning, blue during the day and gold for the weekends and holidays?
