Cool Wanted : a slick PDA-Phone-GPS solution ?

Hi all,

I've been keeping my eye on the HP HW6515 and 6715 (the so called Blackberry killers)

I'm seeking a convergent PDA solution which works with the Windows 5.0, and has an integrated GPRS /3G phone and BUILT IN GPS.

Both of the fore mentioned PDA's have had good reviews, but the one thing that is lacking is the non standard screen size. This makes some applications incompatible.

I'm aware there are plenty of PDA Phones out there, but I would prefer a Windows based solution for compatibility with my Windows Media Center PC and I would prefer not to walkabout with a bluetooth GPS brick thingy...

Although I'm a beleiver of big is beautiful (more mem, apps, do-daas), I need something pocket friendly, which even the wife would be happy to use!

The 6715 seems perfect aside from the old OS and screen size.

Is there anything out there ?

Not a big fan of all in one kit. I always worry that if one bit breaks then I have lost the lot if it needs to be sent for repair.

I have a HP2210 and use the Bluetooth connection for internet etc. Don't have the GPS yet but have the TOMTOM Bluetooth navigator in my sights. The latest 'brick thingy' is more like a 'credit card thingy'.

If you have set your sights on an all in one outfit then you will probably end up with one. I find the PDA size to be a bit big for a phone though, plus I would find it difficult to make notes on the PDA during a call!.
