Summary: Great so far
Comment: I received my 765T a few days ago and love it so far. After reading some up and down reviews, I wasn't certain what to expect. I am pleasantly surprised.
To start, the unit's volume is plenty loud, even at highway speeds. The screen is readable at all times, and auto-changes to a dark night mode at night - easy on the eyes. you can force it to day or night mode if desired.
The map movement is tremendous. Very fluid and natural looking motion just about all of the time. They claim 10fps and it seems to be about that. I am still deciding if I prefer 3D or 2D mode yet, but both are great. I tested routing on a few trips and the navigation worked perfectly.
The voice is clear and the overall feel of the software is great. The menus move quickly and seem logically laid out.
You can add categories to your favorites to better organize them. This helped me out a lot since favorites are sorted by default via distance from your current location. Creating folders for your favorites works very well. You can even add a picture (and phone #) to your favorites.
As for Bluetooth: I paired the 765 with my Blackberry Storm easily, and everything works flawlessly. My phones contacts transferred immediately, and I can all POIs and people from my contacts easily. I do not have any of the bluetooth issues described in other places, so I'm either lucky, or there is some inconsistency in the hardware, based on some other reviews. More likely different phone/GPS pairings lead to differing results. I did update the unit to it's latest firmware also, which many say have helped.
I haven't been to an area with a traffic reception signal yet, so I can't comment on the traffic function. All the other niceties work well for me as well: The picture viewer, MP3 player, etc all work as advertised. I even put 1 of my pics as the startup image.
In conclusion, I am very pleased with the product so far. It seems your milage may vary, but for me, I am a happy camper with this unit, and would highly recommend it.

Summary: good device with good features but with the awful screen compare to the two years old Nuvi 660
Comment: My wife using a two(or something like this) year old Nuvi 660 and I bought for myself new 765. There is no real black color like 660 has, sharpness even worth and all fingerprints are visible. And the speaker of 660 is also much louder and clearly sounded then 765. Twined price for just a lane assistance....too much.

Summary: Good Unit but bad price on Amazon
Comment: The unit is one of Garmin's high units with many features. Garmin's website suggests the price is $599.99 not the $649.99 suggested by Amazon. I bought mine from Meijer for $438.77 with tax and shipping included.

Summary: Garmin Nuvi 765T
Comment: Let me start out our that I only have experience with the nuvi 200w and the 765t so my opinions don't expand beyond these two devices.
Everything about the 765t has improved from previous versions. The nice matte black color and the textured finish really are great cosmetic touches and make this $450 device feel like $450. The mapping and navigation are in typical garmin fashion, superb. The lane guidance is VERY helpful and is the reason I bought a new garmin to begin with. It really does take the guess work out of freeway driving. I had never driven in San Francisco before and I went up there for a concert. The roads are tricky but with the lane guidance I had no problem. The real life picture of the roads pops up now and then in tricky junctions. IT does look very realistic, but quite honestly with the lane guidance feature, you don't really need to real life picture; you already know where to go.
The media player and picture viewer are just what you would want. Music is organized by artist, album, song, and genre. Sound quality from the internal speaker is fairly good, but when you plug it into your car stereo it is excellent.
When you put in new favorites you can assign them to different folders and categories. My old 200w didn't do this and it is very convenient.
To be short, the unit does exactly what it should and does it well, and I believe is worth the price tag. The reason I am giving 4 stars is because when you have the unit playing music through the headphone jack connected to your car stereo, and you have your phone hooked up to it, the person's voice doesnt come through the car stereo. This is a glitch and will probably we fixed in a software upgrade.
I looked at a bunch of gps units just like you are doing now. The most important thing is navigation, and garmin always comes out on top in every test so that narrowed my search to only garmin devices. My biggest desire was lane guidance so that again narrowed my search to the 7x5 line. I chose the 765t for the bluetooth, and will hope that feature evolves with time. IF you don't want bluetooth the 755t is your unit, if you do then give the 765t a try. If you don't like it amazon has a great return policy.

Summary: Garnin 765t Shutting Down
Comment: I recently purchased a Gramin 765T.
Generally it works Well. I find the Volume on the unit when I get a call on my Blackberry Pearl is too low.
Also I was in Weston, Florida and when I was approacing my Hotel the unit would keep shutting down and resarting all the time in the same spot each time. Once I move out of the General area no problems.
On my last day it also did it in another area.
I would be interested to know if anyone else experienced a similar problem.
