Posted on26. May, 2010 by Ann-Marie.

2010, although only five months in, has been a bit of a year so far for HTC.  In March the news broke that they were being sued by Apple for a total of 20 iPhone patent infringements and in May, the  quietly brilliant corporation bit back, filing a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) to halt the importation and sale of the iPhone, iPad and iPod in the United States.

Me-Oh Mio Navman refurb

Posted on08. May, 2010 by Ann-Marie.

Mio Navman satnav devices have always been excellent value for money. Whilst holding strong in the top three leading personal navigation manufacturers they have consistently delivered high end devices at the lower end of the pay scale.  Now, with a  full range of Mio Navman devices available in manufacturer refurbished condition, there has never been a better time to purchase one of these award winning wonders.

The term ‘Refurbished’ used to hold a certain stigma to it, images of poor quality devices looking like they’d been kicked around the garden by the family dog sprung to mind and quite understandably it was sometimes confused with manufacturer refurbished but the simple truth is that they couldn’t be any more different.  So what is manufacturer refurbished and what benefits will it give you?

Manfucturer refurbished devices are units that have been returned to Mio Navman for a number of reasons.  Stores returning excess stock they haven’t sold, customers returning devices that they’ve changed their minds about or devices returned with minor hardware or software faults whatever the reason for return the devices are all subjected to the same rigorous testing and reformatting as new devices.  Each Mio Navman device is lovingly restored to ‘as new’ standard and put through it’s paces before being given the seal of approval as a manufacturer refurb device.  For you, this means that you’re getting award winning Mio Navman quality for a fraction of the price.

We currently have five different manufacturer refurbished Mio Navman models for you to choose from, each coming with a full 12 month manufacturer warranty and current maps of the UK and Ireland.  Whether you’re looking for a basic device like the F45 to simply get you from A to B or whether you need something more feature packed like the S555 with hands-free calling and traffic information there is something for you.  Most of them also come with a free protective carry case to save your satnav from the inevitable bumps and scrapes, keeping it in tip top condition.

With prices as low as £39.99 why don’t you grab yourself a bargain today because these little beauties wont be around for long.
