Default Which PDA?

I have been using a Mio 168 for the past year or so and I'm now looking to upgrade.

I was wondering what recommendations people would make, I'd still like a windows based one that will run word, excel and the calendar functions.

I own a copy of Tomtom V5 which I'd want to continue using.

I'd like the following functions on the PDA: Built in GPS, able to connect to Bluetooth so that I can use the tomtom plus traffic system and WIFI, although I realise that I will prob have to purchase a separate SD card.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It may be worth looking at the Mio A201, now the compatibilty problems with TTN5 have been resolved. There's a 'patch' you can get from the Mitec site.

As border collie says the A201 is a good unit. Basically its an upgraded version of the PDA you have. Faster processor, more memory, better GPS and newer windows software.

Mitac are also releasing a patch so that tomtom5 works on it. you will be able to use your current tomtom and memory cards.

I've only seen one briefly in 'real life' but from what I can remember it is exactly the same as the Mio 168 but BETTER all round. I'm sticking with my 168 until it 'dies', then probably go for the A201 myself.
