Thumbs up Help & advice on which PDA to purchase

I require help and advice as to which PDA to purchase.

This will be my first PDA and I am lucky enought to have a reasonable budget (up tp £350)

I would be using the PDA for work and home use contacts, scheduling, word processing etc on the move, I would also like the option (if possible) of viewing digital photos whilst out & about.
GPS would be nice to have if possible but not essential at this point as I could purchase everything reqd later.

I have a short list of 3, these are:
Fujitsu Siemens Loox N560
Dell Axim X51v
HP Ipaq HX2490

I would be grateful for any help/advice anyone could give.

Thanks in Advance

Dell are very well built. My trusty X5 lasted years before I decided to replace it with something newer - the HX2790. Also a good machine.

I agree with th dell's, they have a 3. something inch vga screen, good for looking at photos.

My lad has one and i use the hx4700, but i believe the dells come with bigger memory options too.

Thanks for the advice Getsurfers / Badgerdid

Thanks again

Many Fujitsu owners have had issues using GPS software. Do some research on this area, and if any of the users resolved issued before diving in.

Not sure why it is, as should use Windows mobile - must be processor and/or hardware issues
