Since I try not to talk on the phone when I drive for safety reasons, the lack of Bluetooth in the 650 is not an issue and makes the Nuvi affordable vis a vis the latest models with Bluetooth and a larger screen. The screen size is fine, navigation is Excellent to Very Good and this has navigated me around the country, on business and personal trips. Never read the manual --- it is user friendly. Better than the "Never Lost" system in Hertz. Easy to update with the Garmin updater loaded on my laptop. The Ninetendo DS Lite is a favorite in my household, including my 24 year old son. We gave the DS Lite to a teenager and child as gifts and they love them too. There are a great number of games for players at all ages at a reasonable price. It is a better game system for those who are not just interested in playing "male-focused" racing, shooting and violent types of games. Ninetendo has been really smart about making new systems backwards compatible with older games they have produced, which even increase the number of games available at reasonable prices.
