PDA / smart phone advice request

Recommended Posts

Having used a Palm and a GPSMAP60 CSx for some time now (and being a gadget nerd) I was thinking of upgrading the PDA.

 

My main requirements would be :

  • GPSr (SirfStar III or equivilent)
  • Memory Map support (WM5 I believe)
  • Cachemate support (though I guess a browser based alternative may do)
  • Wi-Fi (I assume I could sync via Wi-Fi?)
  • Wherigo support
  • Phone (would consider without one)
  • Reasonable price

I've looked at the Mio A702 and P560, but what else would do the job?

Apart from the poor battery life and WM5 being unstable, what other concerns are there?

Is WM6 any better?

 

I would still use my CSx as my primary GPSr.

I have the Sprint Mogul Titan 6800 with the revision "A" on board and the GPS is now activated but I would not use it for geocaching. It runs WM 6.1 e-mail camera and phone with wi-fi and usb for sync. Key word is its not cheap. It is also Blue tooth capable.
