Best pda type phone?

[e36Adz]

Im looking to buy a new pda phone but since iv never owned one before I have no idea about which to go for, hoping some of you guys can help me out abit here.

Must:
- be relatively small
- have decent camera
- have bluetooth

I will be using it with satnav also, so a decent sized screen aswel, and also with a decent mp3 player. I will get a 1gb/2gb memory card for it, btw what is the max size memory card available?

Finally I will be looking to get one to put my PAYG sim into, not on contract, which do you recommend and how much should I be looking to pay? Thanks

xda mini s, price is about £280 on fleabay. Decent size, good cam, has bluetooth and its easy to use. Good for sat nav with tomtom, got a 1gig mini sd card in mine, works like a charm with pocketmusic installed, or can just used media player, great for videos as well

That looks like it fits the bill, so I will definately look into that one. Btw mate if you have msn and are free to chat sometime, add me on (email in trust), would like to ask you abit more about the phone if possible before/if I buy it

I don`t agree that the camera is good on the wizard/vario/mini s though....I think the camera is rubbish, but apart from that its a great device.

Although id like it to have a camera, I dont think I will use the camera that much anyway If camera quality is bad like you say, how about the video recording quality?

or

Hmm personally I prefer the look of the o2 atom, can someone please tell me what are the major differences between the two? Apart from the obvious keypad at the side of the xda mini s, which I dont really like the look of anyway.

edit: Iv just seen an xda atom going on ebay for £420 at the moment with still afew hours remaining, so they aint cheap!

atom has better processor and ram and is not as thick as the mini s. The atom was orig release for the asian market, but i think they will be releasing it in the uk later on. It can be bought sim free from other places online

How much is it currently going at sim free? Im guessing around £450-£500?

Anyone have any idea when it will officially be released in the UK?

i got my xda mini s today. will let you know what i think of it.

I was of the impression the atom isnt going to released by o2 in the uk market

What do you think of it so far mate?

Indeed.

Tomsk have you got this fone? What do you think of it?
