Thumbs up PDA with integrated GPS, 54g and bluetooth?

I am looking for a PDA with the new SiRF Star III GPS built in and also bluetooth and 54g wireless connectivity.

Is is possible to pick one up for under £250 (excluding software - I would not expect to get software for this sort of price).

If anyone can recommend PDA's that meet this spec and places to buy from I would very much appreciate it.

Many thanks,

TonyHSoton

Very few PDA's offer all that, and even when they do they are well above your limit of £250!

I have just received a refurbished iPAQ 5935 "Travel Companion" from www.totalpda.co.uk (£~170 delivered). It seems to have Tomtom 6 with European maps although I have not got it to find a "Valid GPS signal" yet! (Hence looking at this forum!)

If I can get it going it will be great!

HTH,

I purchased a XDA orbit, with that you get what you require :Built in GPS, WiFi Bluetooth a phone and an excellent orgniser. Whilst the screen is'nt as big as some dedicated sat navs it is clearly readable(mine is screen mounted on Scenic grande so is quite far from drivering position).Places to buy one try ebay but make sure you are buying from UK (just in case)mine was about £265 kit included scren mounting kit screen protector and more.Good hunting

I have an XDA orbit and had problems when resetting device. Although I have Tom Tom installed when I run it, it would not find valid GPS siganal. I run bluetooth or just leave it on and it somehow prompts the built in GPS reciever to kick in and start searching for siganal. Don't know if this is any help. !!!!!!
