I had a Mio 168, first with TTN3 then updated to TTN5.

I purchased a Mio P350 and continued to use TT, which was OK but I changed to iGO 2006+ software and maps and everything improved.
(Mio 3.2 uses iGO mapping, the interface is slightly different).

There are so many PDA's around its difficult to recommend one. Top dog is something like the HTC TyTN II (also called many other names) because it comes with everything; bluetooth, wlan, gps and a phone. Worth having a look around for a while before you jump.

I would also consider the HTC Artemis, O2 Orbit, and T-Mobile MDA Compact - III (if you don't need the WiFi) there are a number of phones that offer GPS as well as fully loaded in terms of features, on contract they can be obtain free of charge - Mike

Take a look at the Asus A696. Has built in Sirf III GPS Bluetooth and WLAn and is priced at around £200, runs Windows WM6.

My son is using one with IGO nav software and performance is pretty impressive. Re Routing is much faster than my Navman ICN520.
