Default Anyone got the Origin B2's successor?

Got an offer today to upgrade my Origin B2 GPS speed camera locator to the new Origin Pogoalert or Progodrive (inc SatNav) with a £75 discount.

Origin - Pogodrive & Pogoalert GPS Satnav

Anyone got one yet? If you do, what do you think of it?

They look a bit chunky with the cube design

The subscription gets carried over from the B2 to the pogo if you do the trade-in.

Got the same offer, but I'm keeping the B2. The Drive looks interesting but no mention of traffic updates, the Alert is way too chunky.

So do you 'hand back' the B2 or can you keep that as well?

I read it as a "trade in" so would have thought you send it back.

Too chunky? I know it's cube shaped.. but chunky kinda implies it's big!

Well it certainly needs to go on a weight loss program depth wise. I know the B2 wasn't the best looking unit, but this is a backward step styling wise.

I can't imagine any location in the car where that is going to look good. The display is smaller than the B2, and definitely doesn't look £174.95 better.

Can't fault Origin products performance wise though.

That thought crossed my mind as well, although I'm signed up for three years so they'll have to support it for at least that long, or at least I hope so.
