I need a PDA for when I go on my course, will be spending 5 weeks at RAF Marham and need the PDA for internet browsing and answering emails, sending money via internet banking all that bollocks. Mobile phone part not important apart from connecting to the net, preferably with broadband. Anyone know a good one to buy, just want a second hand one.

I have an Acer N50. Wifi, Blutooth, Compact flach and SD, 520MHZ version. Loads of accessories available. Highly recommended. Sounds right up your street. I use it for MP3, Pictures, Videos (Activesync automatically converts them viewable but small, great for long journeys) TomTom, Mobile Office, mobile browsing, etc etc

Not selling it, but you will find them on good old Ebay

it has wireless, so if you have a wireless broadband router in the area, yes.

youll probably have to resort to GPRS which is pretty much the same as dialup access on your pc. slow and expensive, although you are billed for data transferred and not time spent online

emmmm, not too worried about the expense as it would be more costly loosing business.

Totally confused, anyone know a mobile phone that doubles up as a pda with internet access that doesn`t need a router. Spent all day looking, I mean working.

i know for a fact my p910i does web browsing via the opera browser, and supports POP3 email

most modern phones will do the same

You need a Mobile phone sim, with 3G (If 3G is available in the area you are going), and bluetooth. 3G gives 450ish kbs, which is quick 10x dialup and, almost equal to your min broadband @ 1/2Mbs. Costs my company
