+The Hokesters Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Its time that my trusty old iPaq and I part company. Apart from the XDA (which isn't up to much from what I hear) are there any other Windows based PDA/Phones? I need to be able to carry Autoroute Maps, GPX Sonar and SpoilerSync on the device which ideally is a phone too (not bothered about camera). Also I have been using Autoroute 2002 for some time now (three years :-). Is it worth upgrading it for a newer version? Ta in advance... Quote Link to comment
+Turkey Trotter Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 There is a new Orange phone (which is a PocketPC). Sorry I don't know the model number, only know about it as one of my mates was given one as a sample. Try This or This HTH Quote Link to comment
+CuplaKiwis Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Or This. This is the iMate PDA2K. Haven't used it myself, but have a mate who has one and swears by it. Quote Link to comment

That's an XDA2 without an O2 contract I think.... I know a couple of people with them (XDA2's), and they've been very happy with them. Quote Link to comment

I'm pretty sure this is a brand new one. It has a slide out keyboard which the XDA2 (I think!) doesn't have. Besides, as far as I'm aware, this one is quite new to the market, whereas the XDA2 has been available for a while. Quote Link to comment
+milvus-milvus Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 The XDAII, iMate and Orange SPV are all essentially the same unit - manufactured by a Taiwanese company called HTC. I'm sure they'll all do the same job equally well. I toyed with the idea of getting one, but the deciding factor was whether I really wanted to look a complete geek holding a PDA to my cheek when using the phone. For the amount of time I need to use my PDA with a connection in the field, I figured a bluetooth connection to a separate phone would do the job just as well. So I plumbed for a wireless enabled iPAQ instead. Very happy with it so far. Managed to get gpxsonar working. Just need to find out how to load some maps.... Quote Link to comment
