What about a vario, or as T-Mobile call them an MDA?
Their web service is reasonable.
 
PDA + 2MP camera, MP3, small but clickable
keyboard (+hand write recognitions etc)
 
I use all of that except the type talk, but I'll ask
my daughter about that as she may know - just
come on skype chat and says not yet usable
with type talk, but is usable with "tty" (which I gather
is an American version of type talk.

tells you more.
 
Can use skype and msn too (assuming decent
signal) of course.
 
You do need a Bluetooth GPS unit as well.
 
Assuming you are still working, then access to work
should pay for you - I think!

You usually have the answer on this mailing group so here we go…..

I want one gizmo.

 

I have a Palm Vx, still working well but getting old.

I have a Nokia for text messages (very basic no bells or whistles)

I get lost when travelling so want to get a GPS

 

I have just started using Type Talk via the RNID which is fabulous.  Now you can use it via a mobile but it seems that the Nokia 9210i is the only compatible mobile, its heavy but has keyboard and would mean I could telephone anywhere not just from home using the landline Geemark Phone.

 

So I want a mobile/diary/GPS gizmo.  Does anyone know if the Nokia 9210i can do GPS, the new Palm Treo can, but I don’t know if it can do Typetalk.

 

Of course there is my laptop but it’s a bit big for the front of the car and I have no idea how I would make calls etc away from my wireless/broadband at home.

                                                                                                                                                                                

Any ideas
