Default Ipaq 4700 or 2750?

I've never owned an PDA before so bear with me ;)

After reading a fair few reviews, I've settled on either the Ipaq 2750 or the 4700. The price difference is not a worry to me and I don't even want this to come in to my decision.

So far in the 2750 favour I can see:
- 128RAM
- Doesn't have that ****ty touchpad (5-way navigation button instead)
- Lighter (5.8oz compared to 6.6oz)

For the 4700
- Larger display (4in compared to 3.5in on the 2750)
- Higher max resolution (480 x 640 as opposed to 240 x 320)

I don't consider the fingerprint reader of the 2750 really a feature so much as a gimmick. I can do without one.

The 2750 also looks "shorter" than the 4700, however the 4700 is thinner. I can't really decide from the pictures which one of these is "smaller overall".

I'd mainly be using it for uni & work
- Timetable & appointments
- Directory of friends & clients (**is it possible to sync any of these with a bluetooth phone?)
- Notes, etc. Could possibly even draw up a few quick quotes on Excel.
- Internet & e-mail (not a lot, just every now and again when I need to quickly find something, we have city wide wifi internet in Adelaide, South Australia, currently for free)
- Playing music (but this is not so much a priority as something I'd like -- I figure it saves me buying an ipod).

I'd probably buy the HP bluetooth foldup keyboard and stereo headphones aswell.

Any thoughts?
