 The NV-U83T nav-u is one of 2 new GPS devices Sony debuted at CES. The U83T includes all the features of its sister unit, the U73T -- a 4.3-inch screen; text-to-speech, real-time traffic and gesture command controls; nearly 5 million points of interest; 2GB of embedded memory -- but with the addition of Bluetooth hands-free calling capability and Sony's "Position Plus" engine, which offers an approximate location when the unit can't connect to the GPS satellite. The U83T will be available in February and will retail for about $500. Release: January 2008.
