Default Techies, PDA/Phone help please........

I have a PDA at the moment with tomtom on it as it has a built in GPS reciever, I want to replace it with a all in one PDA/GPS/Phone jobbie, preferably with a GPS reciever built in.

What are my options without having to get a contract phone to own one!

A mate's just got an HP iPAQ 6915 PDA/Phone/built-in GPS.

Don't know of any other all in one solutions, although there's bound to be some coming.....

The TrEo's don't have built in GPS - you can get a dedicated car cradle with a built in GPS receiver for it though... They run Palm OS too (although you're probably aware of that) so software may be an issue?

Ive had all Treos (180g, 180, 270, 600 and now a 650 as in that picture).

You can get a bluetooth gps for the treo 650 and it will work fine.

I've got a XDA Exec and am very pleased, it doesn't have GPS built in, but you can get car cradles with it.
