A dreaded Noobie asking for help :)

[2drunk2funk]

I have started reading up on Ipaq, GPS etc and reading review sites and forums like this one

I am going to continue reading up but thought it may well be worth throwing my questions at you lot up front to get some feedback.

I have just started a new job which will involve far more travelling around the country.
I wish to get a pda (at moment looking at Ipaq 2200 or 4150) for syncronising with my office outlook diary/contacts/todos.
I want a GPS solution for in car (but removeable each trip, guess cradled) which will run from the car lighter socket and batteries.
Not as important, but if the gps is light and portable then for walking/cycling.

So far I am unsure on whether to go for a bundle, or pickup separate items to get the best of each componant (Within budget!!).

Most things I have read so far talk about TomTom3 and extras, like postcode DB.
I intend on getting a 256mb (maybe 512mb if budget allows) to hold maps and other essentials.

Can anyone suggest some noobie pointers, possible good bundles, units to AVOID. Maybe better separates?

I live in the UK

Thanks for your time.....
Now I will carry on reading posts

Yes, if you are a COMPLETE newbie and have never used a Pocket PC before then I would strongly suggest going with a PND (Personal Navigation Device) like the Navman iCN510, 630, 650 or TomTom GO.

Preferably one which is pre-installed like the iCN510, 650 or TomTom GO so you don't need to have to connect it to a PC to get going. These range from £425 upwards.
