Default PDAs....I want one but not sure which?

I want a PDA, pref around £200ish (the girlfriend is buying it as a present for me - the lower the price of it the more other stuff I get)

PC based rather than palm...

i've seen them with GPS nav and route planning etc on before so would like to be able to add this at a later etc...

I have a digi cam that uses compact flash memory cards so can you get these or adapters for them?

ive seen a HP 2210 in dixons looks reasonable if not a bit bulky but dunno if it does al lthe stuff a decent PDA is supposed to.
they all look pretty much the same to me at the moment so just want to know what the decent models are and what features I should be looking for...

cheers in advance.

I asked the same question a month ago and got plenty of suggestions, but ended up more confused than when I started..

I know it's a pressie, but what about ebay..?? if not for the pda, then for the 'tom-tom' gps software...

Don't know if this is of any help, I haven't had chance to look properly..

The Dell does look good, and it's around your £200 bracket @ £231 for the 312Mhz..
