XL 350SName used in some retailer and eBay listings, not part of TomTom's official May 2010 launch lineup (350/350M/350T/350TM). Earlier TomTom XL models used an 'S' suffix for text-to-speech capable units, but TTS was already standard across the whole XL 350 range, so this is most likely reseller shorthand rather than a distinct factory SKU. Same hardware either way.
