rodney 17 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Help,I find I need the new Tom Tom Satnav upgrade and my old HP iPAQ5550 is now officially old and no longer sold... So.... I need to use it for work, run windows, wifi, Bluetooth, Outlook and run my SatNav. Not sure I want it to be a phone as well really.... so any comments from the geeks amongst us???(Remember we are all geeks on here as we know far too much about VR6 engines, time preparing for a show etc ..... )Thank you! :-p Link to post Share on other sites
fatboyjon 0 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 only disadvantage of new phone ipaq's is that whislt on the phone its difficult to access email/notes or anything else unless your using bluetooth headset! Im usuing a hx4700 with Tomtom 6 which rocks but it isnt a phone, this we'll be waiting till mid year seeing anything which is all in one soultion that works well.... not sure if there's anything predicted on the www.theregister.com. Have a look on expansys.co.uk maybe some offers on there I say stay HP Ipaq, they rock! Im going to be using mine as an mp3 player in my vr when its fixed..just need to save for a 8gb compact flash card!!! Link to post Share on other sites

rodney 17 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 yeah I have a seperate company phone set up already so dont really need one for that. I have a personal phone/personal stereo which I need to maintain for those tube trips/fits into my pocket Nice Like! etc. Also the screens are generally a little small while tanking down the motorway to be able to pop my diary up or get a contact with the click of a button or 2 also get a good view of my junction with out the need to stare at it and crash..... However, there are some new ones which I am in the process of looking at to see if the screens and op systems are ok one handed......So suggestions are welcome as it will help me not waste my time if you follow meCheers!
