I got mine one or two weeks ago. They should have new Devices on stock again.

I would have jumped in if he wouldn't have said 

   ... and give directions when I'm driving.

Since the NaviGPS cannot give real directions. 
For all other purposes they seem pretty good. I have 5 Devices here for 
testing. They do have there little odities, but in summ they seem to fit 
my/the OSM basic needs pretty well.
I'll post a small review, as soon as I' finished with the features relevant 
for OSM.

And:
YES I'll bring one or two with me to London for the Birthday Party!

BTW: I'll be in London from the 10th until the 15th of August.
