who can tell me if the Map of Western Europe for tomtom1 really contains all
(or at least 90%) of the roads and streets of western europe? what about
addresses (+ housenumbers)? what about POIs? I asked this question about
three months ago but got no answer.

I dont think TomTom provide a mapviewer on their website; however
Garmin use, presumably, the same NavTeq data, so it may help you to go
to the Garmin website and check their mapviewer in the cartography
section. The current map is City Navigator Europe ver 8 - you can zoom
into any area of the map to check coverage.

I was under the assumption that TomTom used TeleAtlas map data.

Did you check the TomTom site?:

http://www.tomtom.com/products/section.php?ID#7&Section@4&Category=2&Lid=1

As for house numbers etc, no idea.

I believe the Rider, and the new ttt v2 Europe (as opposed to UK only) use
Navteq

Thats correct, the RIDER uses Navteq and all other TomToms use Tele
Atlas. I believe that you should be able to view all Western European
maps with the One however through Tele Atlas, I hear that that company
gives more coverage in Europe than Navteq. If all else fails,
definitely get in touch with TT customer service.
