There won't be any connections costs, as it will use my wireless connection at home.

Re: PDA Advice Please.
I have an ipaq and have never had any problems with it.
I also got hold of a targus stowaway keyboard for it - very nice
Can't comment on the dell one tho

Re: PDA Advice Please.
Haven't tried either, as i am not a PDA man, but i think the hp one looks better, and i have had bad experiences with dell's warranties/ part replacement in the past.

Re: PDA Advice Please.
I've had two IPAq's. One a Compaq 3850, and now a HP5550. They have both been excellent. They are both still used.
I've had one Dell laptop, the keyboard stopped working (two keys) and therefore the motherboard needed replacing!!

Re: PDA Advice Please.
Just got me a HP H2210
Very impressed.
I've got a TDK bluetooth adaptor (think £50 from carphone warehouse) for connecting my laptop to mobile, and with the h2210 I can now surf etc downstairs while my PC is upstairs so no need for a wifi card in the CF slot (which currently holds the 1GB CF card from my camera)
Also have a 256MB SD card in it too.
Mega impressed.
Was looking at ipaq's a few years back, and couldn't justify the £400-£600 but this one was only £229 so I couldn't resist
I've got some software so I can watch my DVD's on the move, which is cool, as my laptop battery doesn't last long enough!

Re: PDA Advice Please.
At the moment I use a Tosh e750 and the wireless connection drops out a lot, the people i`m testing for use and resell the dell axims and say they`re really good for the price. They used to use ipacs but the price got too much. So i`d go for the dell. I don`t know if tomshardware.com covers pda`s but it might be worth a try.

Re: PDA Advice Please.
The H2210 makes a great mp3 player too with pocketmusic installed

Admittedly it was from Ebay  and for that 7 quid he accidently sent me 2 .. not that I was going to complain (or even mention it) but they were both new, sealed and work perfectly.

It works well, the battery lasts pretty well (although I try to rechage most nights, it has lasted a good few days of use) although the wireless connection really chews up power.
