I'm a novice. I'm looking for a PDA with wi-fi and bluetooth [for webmail and browsing etc.], and to be able to use navigation software to be used initially for driving in the UK and France. Bluetooth for a wireless GPS receiver. I'm not sure whether a bundled package is better, to include the PDA and software, and also a mount. Or whther it is better to buy separately.

I cam across a bundle at undecutter.com at £519 that includes PDA IPAQ5550, BT308 xtrac bluetooth GPS receiver, a 256 SD card and TomTom 3 software.

Do any of you more experienced and enlightened users have any advice on whether this is a decent bundle and worth the money, or should I be looking elswhere?

Any help truly appreciated.

How much are you looking to spend.

I'd certainly suggest getting a BT receiver withe the new SiRF Star 111 chipset. I have the globalsat 338 and it's great.

well if £500 is reasonable for the spec indicated above it would be a possibility, but is that reasonable?

Thanks for your comments. Reading these, and the postings on the other forum has helped a lot. I'm not sure whether I'm any nearer to a decision but at least I'm slightly better informed.
