Hello,

I have the 2610, got it for $529 off Amazon.com after rebate and just bought
one two weeks ago for a friend off there for $577 without rebates. I'm very
happy with it and I have a 512 MB card with mine so I have all of New
England down to DC and AZ to San Diego loaded with more room left. Just
used it to get to a meet in Lebanon, NH. Very pleased with it. It has all
the features you're looking for.

Mike
