5. NewEgg.com

Newegg.com doesn't attract as many consumer ratings as Amazon.com; only six reviews were posted for the Garmin nüvi 650 when we checked. Still, one advantage over Amazon.com is that Newegg concentrates on technology products, and its users are more technically savvy than most - and are required to rate their own level of tech knowledge as part of the review.
