Wipeout Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I have been looking into getting a PDA, and also using it for SAT Nav. Ideally something with WIFI, Bluetooth & running windows mobile of some sort. I have been looking at a Dell Axim x51v 624MHz Here Was about £260. Has anyone had experience with Dell PDA's? Also what is Windows Mobile like with Sat Nav programs, is it reliable? That's enough questions for now. Discuss your views!!! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Been running my IMate Jam with TT3 & TT5 for over a year now with no problems at all. Never used my old smartphone with sat nav as just found the window to be to small but guess thats user preference. I'd be tempted to wait for the new batch of phones coming out that will have GPS built in to them, pretty sure there is a couple out already.

Shovels Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'm getting the 02 XDA mini in a couple of days - gonna be sticking TomTom 5 on that. The screen's smaller than your standard PDA, but should be big enough for a reasonable picture - Oh and hopefully it'll work well as a phone.

Same as the imate jam and the screen is fantastic and just right for TT5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
