TomTom ONE XL•S Reviews
4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
Here are some good reviews for the TomTom ONE XL-S:

I have been watching the price on the Tom-Tom over the past two years and when the price dropped on this XL-S, I decided to get one. It may be refurbished, but I couldn’t tell it was. Operation was perfect with the exception that the free grade available from the Tom-Tom site wasn’t available as being refurbished, it was probably used up. However, support was available for an upgrade at no cost if you work with the home sight on line.I also own the Tom-Tom One (3rd edition) and the later XL-S model does have some improvements, although some of the improvements are a pain to deal with, for example; a bleating noise if one exceeds the speed limit unknowingly. You have to control this noise through the menu options before you start the unit. Also, the computer voice you pick with more voice information to you, is no where near as nice as the pleasant, sexy voice that is available if desired.
All in all, the larger screen is easier to see, especially if you are older as I am.
Great unit and very operator friendly.

TomTom is soon going to be offering a small bump to the existing ONE XL with the ONE XL-S. So what does the “s” mean? The only difference between the ONE XL and the ONE XL-S we have been able to identify is that the XL-S will come with text-to-speech. It will also come with NavCore version 7 installed with MapShare, however the ONE XL can be upgraded to version 7 with MapShare as well. Another nice bonus is that the XL-S will come with 64 Mb of RAM instead of 32Mb found on the older XL which should give this interface some speed improvements.
Expect the ONE XLS to hit store shelves in the next couple of weeks, at a price about $50 over the price of the ONE XL.

Enjoying this as my first GPS device. Glad I didn’t pay full price. I haven’t had a chance to play with all the features yet, but I’m really enjoying it. Works like new. The only flaw I found is with the text to speech. It doesn’t pronounce non-English names well at all. Considering I live in California, a lot of the the street and city names are Spanish. Makes for a good laugh.
