Sony HAR D1000

Advantages: Good, cheap, simple.
Disadvantages: Can get lost or stolen.

...The reason I am writing this review, is that I recently had a problem with my good old TomTom, and thought that perhaps it may have to go to the electronic graveyard in the sky (but how would it find it's way there?) Anyway, I had been checking out a few options, these were never needed, but if they were, then this little beauty would have been a fitting replacement.
