Electronics : HP iPAQ HW6915 Mobile Messenger with Bluetooth and Camera (UK, QWERTY, GPS)

Rating: - AWESOME device!
Mobile phone, Wi-fi PDA and a GPS all in one. Just fantastic. The form factor is good - a little wider than I was used to but after a week I didn't notice. Voice quality is excellent.

Being able to hit the road, knowing I have access to email and can update documents and spreadsheets without having to cart along a laptop - perfect.

Battery life is great, although Wi-fi does tend to sap it somewhat.

Perhaps it's best to give you a "day in the life" of how well this little genius does everything:

A while ago I had to go to a meeting in London, at an office I'd never been to before. First I called a taxi to the train station. While in the taxi, I checked on train departure times (guess I should have done that before I left, but anyway). Unfortunately I couldn't actually buy my ticket online as the website wanted more (AJAX?) functionality than the built-in browser could handle. Once on the train I called the office to find out which was the nearest tube station. Then I worked a little on a spreadsheet while listening to some MP3s, then read an e-book for the last half hour. Once I'd reached the destination underground station, I fired up TomTom in "walking" mode, and it guided me to the office without any fuss at all.

What more could you ask for?

Of course it's not *quite* perfect. You'll need to buy TomTom maps for the whole of the UK, unless you never plan on leaving one city (one free city download is allowed). And the silly little flip-over plastic cover will break within a week. Invest in a good quality belt-pouch, there are plenty of them available - try here on Amazon.
