Hi People.

I've never had a PDA before and am considering purchasing one.

What I am looking for is something that can run the TomTom sat navigation stuff and also double as an e-mailer / diary / general PDA stuff.

Please can someone let me know what I would need and any recommendations.

Thanks in advance

I just got a new Orange SPV M5000, also known as a O2 XDA exec.
It is really good, wifi blue tooth and a 3G phone built in.
full qwerty keyboard
And best of all it was free.

I've got an HP iPaq RX3715 which I use for email (bluetooth) and interent, GPS SatNav, diary, spreadsheet and Word. Also, I put 2 movies on it on a 512MB SD card when I went on holidays and they really passed the flights there and back very quickly for me. Def recommend.

I have a Dell x50v which I am very happy with. I use it for all the usual - email, word, satnav, web etc. but bought the Dell because it was the only one which could be bought with the bits to connect it to an LCD projector for use with PowerPoint presentations and therefore saves carrying a laptop around.

I used to have an O2 XDA Exec but sent it back due to poor battery life, very slow performace, and I didnt like how smeery the screen got when I held it to my ear for telephone calls.

Ive also used a nokia 9550 in the past which was lovely, especially the keyboard, but did have some minor niggles like no vibrate which, for a phone, really annoyed me.

I'm now still using my HP iPAQ H3870 which Ive had all the time Ive had the 9500 & XDA as I was hoping to replace the ipaq with one or other of them but didnt suceed. It is still my favoured sort of PDA and newer versions can/do come with sat nav etc packages.

Theyre so cheap now that you can buy one of the cheap sat nav units and you effectively get a pda for free.
