Default Which PDA/phone?

Am looking to replace my hp4150 and samsung d500 with something that can do everything they can, basically so I only have to take one thing with me at a time!

Am looking at all the usual suspects - from the O2 XDA thingy to the imate K-Jam (and the new jamin which looks good). Any advice on what to go for? Most important things are good integration with outlook, small with a half decent camera and will work in the states...

Any ideas what to go for?

Sim free? Or with a contract? We have just started doing contracts with these type of handsets so we can get you a good deal. From the three you mentioned they would all do what you are looking for and they are all a similar spec to your 4150 since they have wifi and bluetooth. The Jamin has a 2 megapixel camera and the others a 1.3. Size wise the jamin is slightly bigger than a standard nokia phone size. The k-jam is slightly thicker due to the keyboard. The XDA is standard PDA size.

I have had the old imate jam myself for about a year and its been brilliant a full spec pda/phone but the same size as a normal phone. I use it as PDA/phone/MP3/satnav its small enough that I can keep it in pocket like a normal phone and use it like a normal phone.
So I may be biased towards that type .

I have been looking at the Jamin as my next handset but you may find the slide keyboard on the k-jam handy. They are both very similar specs the difference being the k-jam has keyboard and the jamin has better camera. I would say what you would use the most out of those which would decide which one you go for.

Thanks for that Martin - am looking sim-free. Don't really think I need a keyboard as I have been happy with the 4150 input. Is the Imate PDA-N as good as the Jamin? Just thinking of that as it has built in GPS. Does the hp6515 have that too?

From what I can see the PDA-N is the same size as the jamin but its not a phone.

The 6515 is a PDA/phone with built in GPS and it has a keyboard. Slightly bigger than the imates without wifi and win mobile 5. I would say the Imates have better specs/software but the ipaq will save you money as it already has a GPS built in.
