Thanks for your input.

I ended up reading a lot of reviews and getting the iPAQ 6955 (6900
series) which has
built on the model you told me about.

I really like it.

The only thing is I think you have to buy additional software to voice
dial phone numbers
(I haven't registered yet with a GSM provider so I'll wait to test
this) and the Microsoft
Streetmaps is pretty basic. It connects to satellites that just tell
you where you are, no
instructions; etc.

What are you using for these two things?
