My dad beeing a picky sod wants a new phone/pda
It has to do his contacts, notes etc and he wants it to be able to act as a GPS unit too.
His budget is around the £200 mark

i dont think u can get GPS in a mobile ? not sure
but GPS things cost a few hundreds alone, so i dont think youll get anything :( tbh
The Motorola A925 has AGPS, which I think is just a less accurate version of GPS. It's an ugly phone but it's around £200 on a 3 contract. Alternatively you could wait for the much nicer looking, and smaller, Motorola A1000. It should be on 3 by the end of the year.
If GPS isn't such an issue, or you're willing to pay extra for it, then my choice of phone/PDA would definately be the new SonyEricsson P910. It's a beautiful piece of kit which combines a touchscreen, mini-keyboard, great software bundle (Word/Excel/PDF software plus much more), superb battery life (16 hours of talk time :eek: ) and very good build quality/design (the flip hides the touchscreen from scratches and accidental use).
A lot of PDA/phones are pretty decent PDAs, but the SE P910 really combines the best of both world well. Add a bluetooth GPS device and away you go.
There's a good summary of it's powers here.
yeah, he wants GPS capability, not actually built into the unit itself
how does that work then ?
btw i think the A925 is free on 3 contract, they do some super talking tim packages too apprently, and half price calls
