What PDA should I upgrade to from an XDAII

[floody]

I know that this might not be the most suitable place to put this but hear me out.
I currently run TT 5.0 on my XDA II (before that I used TT3) & have had no problems. My only downside is that my XDAII is quite cumbersome to carry around. I use it as a phone as well so it's not quite practical.

As Crimbo is coming I thought I would treat myself to a newer, smaller, more compact PDA/Phone but before I do I wanted some feedback on what I should opt for so that I don't encounter any problems when trying to run TT. As I use TT the most this has got to be my priority when deciding on a new model.

Any suggestions or horror stories that I should be aware of.

Thanks.

Depends on whether you specifically want a Windows Mobile based device or not, if you don't then I'd recommend the Palm Treo 650 :D If you do and can wait a couple of months then the Palm Treo 700w should be out :D

Do you really need to change?

If you go for a smartphone, you will end up with a smaller, non touch sensitive screen - will this be acceptable to you?

I assume that in-car your navigation/telephony is already sorted, but how about a bluetooth solution for when you are out of the car and possibly don't need sat nav?

I think there are few who would argue, that telephones and sat nav aren't the happiest of bed fellows. Forgetting the technical side, they have conflicting requirements. One wants as big a screen as possible, the other wants to be light and compact.

Perhaps it is time for someone to come up with a compact smartphone to which you can add a touch sensitive larger screen, possibly as a removeable for security reasons part of the car kit - now that would be worth having!

Thanks for your comments so far, I was really looking for an in between as the XDAII is perfect for Navigation but for carrying it in your pocket on a night out you either get strange looks from the ladies or you have to explain to the bouncers that it is actually a phone & not offensive weapon (or have I got these the wrong way around!! :P )

I'll keep looking.
