I'm sticking with my 550. I like having a full size SD card slot to grab the full res pictures your buddy took while on a bike trip... you know he will never get around to emailing them to you. Also, why only 10 routes instead of 50? I keep about a two dozen routes on my Zumo at any given time.

I will not miss XM. I record internet sreams into MP3 for long day riding anyway. XM drops in and out in the mountains, just when you want it!

A2DP is great and has been a long time coming. My old phone from 3 years ago did A2DP. Now that I run with an iPhone, I got over it.

Sure in ear sounds better that in helmet speakers. My mono BT sounds even worse. But I love not having wires to my phone or GPS. Life is so much simpler.
