Also, with Garmin I was able to type in things like "albertson's" and it would give me a list of all the albertson's near and far. With Tomtom you have to find it in a long list of POI's which is dangerous while driving.

With the TomTom, under POI NEAR YOU, you can do the same. Works like a charm. Put in for example "Starbucks" - all the starbucks locations within the next 50 kilometers or so will come up. Also, if you only input "Star" - all places with the word Star in it will come up.
I am on the road a lot, due to my work, and i use the TomTom daily. I drive in the city - GTA/Toronto area - as well as in the rural areas - and the TomTom works just fine. Not great, but fine. I am not using the voice recognition, granted - but inputting a destination by hand takes 10 seconds. the POI search by POI near you works without problems.
Live Traffic Services work very well, here in Ontario. TomTom, so far, has always been accurate and found the quickest way to the destination. Is it perfect? Certainly not? Is it frustrating that i cant input a destination and that i get locked out? Absolutely. But - the navigation works well, 90 % of the time it finds the best/quickest route considering bad traffic and delays - and thats what im really using it for.
Comparing the TomTom to other built in navigation systems (BMW,Ford-Lincoln, Kia, Hyundai.. ) - i am rather happy with it.
