Question I'm bloomin lost

I'm a bit lost. I want a good sat-nav and a speed camera warning. Origin B2 looks good to me, is that better than Road Angel? On the satNav front I've heard many good reports about TomTom but there are so many options, I've never even touched a PDA.

I like the idea of simply entering a postcode - does that mean I need to buy Kane? I prefer the TomTom mapping.
Is it right that I should buy a 400mhz PDA with 128 ram?
Bluetooth?
Is there a PDA with a bigger screen?

I've wanted to buy for a couple of months now and I have the money ready but still have NO CLUE what to choose. Are the NavMan complete units any good compared to TomTom? Not sure about the clarity of the maps. Screen looks a confusion in yellow. I just want to be sure I buy a good all-round system.

My question - if you had up to £1000 to spend and were buying a complete new bundle then what would you buy right now, and why?

Any help MUCH appreciated

A budget of 1k I think I would be looking at HP iPAQ 4150, due to it has 128MB, Bluetooth & WIFI as standard. I use Bluetooth to connect to my phone to access the web via GPRS, when I can’t access a WIFI hotspot.

Navigation software I really would say that both Navman and Tom Tom are about the same in quality, it is mostly down to user preference. I would say that tom tom is better to use with the 3D view etc, but the mapping structure of navman is better and easier to find locations.

I would recommend if the it’s the Bluetooth system your looking it I would recommend that Navman 4400 as the battery life on the GPS receiver is far greater than the tom tom.

Speed camera's I do highly recommend the Origin B2

Hope this helps
