My current PDA is an ipaq 5450 which i am fairly happy with. I have a few accesories for it, and previously i had a 3970. Currently i struggle with Running Voice GSM and my sony ericsson t610, but the bluetooth connection is so unreliable and seems to time out for no reason(t-mobile in the UK if any1 can help) so i was looking to get a PPCPE device. The XDA II caught my eye as it's currently on sale for £199 on contract (works out in total about £490) which is better than £600 offline @ expansys.
So my question is simple, Is the XDA II a worthwhile purchase? I have never used the WIFI on the ipaq outside my house, so it is of little benefit to me, however i need to keep it for my navman GPS. What sort of compatibility can i expect from Bluetooth GPS units on the XDA II? And is 128mb internal ram really worth it with wm2003 process limitations?

I'm very happy with my XDA2, and its nice not to have to worry about memory limitations. With some judicious pruning of the piles of extraneous start-up software, the 32 process limitation is no longer a problem. Bluetooth GPS is also now sorted, and apparently a new rom, out in the next few months, will improve alot of the bluetooth limitations. All in all its a very good pocketpc, and an adequate phone (although a dedicated phone is still much better).

To reassure you regarding the Navman gps, check this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6393&highlight=navman+gps)
