Big difference with trafic delivery (except RDS-TMC via radio): garmin via smartphone (like 600 Tomtom), but 6000 via internal SIM-card (without rouming cost in EU country).

Thanks for all the replies but i checked on the garmin website and it states that the garmin 3597 comes with a traffic receiver so there's no need to use a smartphone to receive traffic or am i wrong?? (even though it makes sense that you need a smartphone with internet connection to receive traffic updates).
Btw I just checked on amazon italy and the garmin 3597 is available with a 16% discount!!!
I'll just hear a few more opinions and then i'll order it!!!
