Garmin’s nüvi 265WT improves upon its 200-series predecessors by adding free real-time traffic updates from Navteq (for the life of the device) as well as Bluetooth connectivity to your cell phone. Other significant improvements in the 2×5 series include a predictive technology that provides faster satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more information, terrain maps, and an exciting new photo navigation feature. The 265WT provides complete maps for North America and the handy Text-to-Speech feature, so you get turn-by-turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. “turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way”, rather than merely “turn left in 50 feet”).
The nüvi 2×5 models all sport the slim design that Garmin introduced with the 200-series last year, so they all fit comfortably in your pocket or purse, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that makes them convenient for navigation by car or foot. All of the models include useful travel tools like a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. The 265WT also offers a wide 4.3-inch (diagonal) screen that displays 70% more of the road around you.
Important Product Information: This device features a “screen lock” feature. This is a standard feature on all nüvi 2×5 and 7×5 Garmin units. If you slide the “Power” key to the right, it will lock the screen and prevent any accidental touches. Once the screen lock feature is engaged, the screen will go black/gray after about 15 seconds to save power on the device.

Customer Feedback

I have owned quite a few GPS units all including Phone, Laptop and Dedicated. Flat out before I even get started the Garmin Nuvi 265WT is the best I have ever owned.
Good response to finger input, and while the unit is overall much better quality than the MIO, I really do miss the MIO’s ability to have an info pane down the last third of the screen and the map on the first two thirds of it when desired. But there’s some of that info available in the data bubbles on the bottom and top so I’ll survive.

So far I really like this mouse. I haven’t used it in a presenter capacity, but when I tested it, it seemed to be great. It’s extremely comfortable to use as a regular mouse, and it has great sensitivity and connection, as compared to other wireless mouses I have used in the past. The bluetooth connection is fantastic and easy to setup. This mouse does everything it claims without any problems!!! A great buy!!!
This is a easy to setup mouse from Microsoft. It comes with a optional bluetooth adapter which you can hook it to one of your USB ports in case your PC doesn’t have in built bluetooth. The installation was a breeze on Vista/XP since they had inbuilt drivers for it.

The mouse starts working automatically if used with the bundled adapter. Otherwise you need to pair the mouse manually. I tried using this mouse on Linux(Ubuntu 9.04). But doesn’t seem to work on the first go. Need to do some tinkering to get it work!!!

Razer Orochi is simply an amazing mouse. It may be a bit small for some, but as a notebook mouse, it’s perfect. The bluetooth connectivity is so smooth and precise, I have yet found the need to use the cable connection. It’s designed almost perfect. The batteries give it a perfect weight. And using it for design (I’m a heavy photoshop user) it’s just pixel perfect.
The Bad: Poor Mac Drivers. The mouse werks perfect, with the exception of the additional buttons.
