I bought my wife a TomTom OneXL for Christmas last year and we both use it heaps. We have seen some others in shops and find their screens cluttered or confusing. The TomTom was incredibly easy to use, we showed it to a couple of my relatives on Christmas day (in their 60's and 70's) and all of them were able to navigate to their homes or vacation spots without the manual and a small amount of guidance. The screen has no problems with reflections and takes perhaps a minute to get a fix after turning on. I don't think it has blue tooth, but I don't know if I care.
I use it all the time if I go to a school for an astronomy viewing and it is conforting to know that when I leave a school at night, in an area I have never been in in my life, that at least one of us knows the way home (this is applicable to all GPS units though). It has never got us lost, but sometimes will suggest a route that you would say "yeah, but I wouldn't go that way myself". I am sure it must get angry some times when I choose to ignore the directions and go my own way.
I would give our unit 9 out of 10. I think I paid about $350 at the time.
