Oh. I forget to post the third instalment. Better late than never. this one contains all the juicy bits
HEADS UP: Headline Specs and FIRST OPINION here
- Tether…like that. Just like the Edge 820. aka a hole for a bit of cord to go through (WAHOO have a special mini bolt on their BOLT model…a thief can cut a cord but can’t cut the mini bolt on the BOLT)
- Weather-proof access to micro-SD cards, here…

I guess the important bit is that it actually has an SD card unlike the 820. That will make people happy. A decent sized one could even store video/images if that hardware capability was also provided (like the XPLOVA X5)
