After waiting exactly 15 business days from the time I first called TomTom to report that the windshield mount included with the spanking new GO 910 had broken after only 4 days of use, I finally received my "replacement" mount this week. The new mount -- you guessed it, it's exactly the same as the original mount!
As I mentioned in the TomTom 910 Review, the 910 mount has a design flaw that prevents the mounting head from properly supporting the weight of the new GO 510 and 910 units, which causes the mount to droop down and eventually break altogether. TomTom is apparently aware of the problem, and that is the main reason for the delay in wider availability of the 910. Word on the street is we can expect an improved mount within the next 4-6 weeks.
My plan: once mounted, I'll be extra gentle with this mount until TomTom fixes the problem for good (then I'll break this one so they'll ship me a proper replacement)
