    Help with IPAQ

    Not sure if this is the best place to post this thread but I need some Ipaq help.
    I've just got myself an Ipaq 5455 with wifi and bluetooth and it a great little PDA which works a treat in any wifi zone.

    The thing is, I didn't buy it for the house I bought it primarily for the train because I'll be doing two five hour journeys per week starting in a few weeks plus I'll be able to use it in various wifi zones up and down the UK on my travels.

    The problem is I ain't got a clue how to get best and cheapest connectivity on the train I suspect a bluetooth phone might be the answer but I'm no expert on mobiles. Thought about a PAYG T68i or the much more £ for the T610 (is the bluetooth any better on the more expensive phones?) and should I go Nokia instead of Sony Ericsson? Or should I buy a GPRS/GSM cradle adaptor instead of a bluetooth phone or is there other different ways to do it.

    If anyone else is doing something similar or can give me a bit of advice I'd really appreciate it

    Bluetooth is definitely your best bet as your Ipaq already has it built in.
    You can just leave the phone in your pocket and use your PDA on the net as if you were at home

    It's the way forward

    Cheers Howard - I kinda thought I was on the right track.

    I'm off to flea-bay to buy a T68i or a T610 (if I can get a good price)

    I've got and Ipaq (slightly oler one though) connected via bluetooth to a T68i, which has GPRS enabled. Works absolutely fine, checks emails and stuff great, as well as running MSN messenger and other stuff too.
