I use a Treo 650. I would wholeheartedly recommend you to take a look
at that one, except it doesn't run Windows, it's Palm OS. If you don't
really need Windows, this is the best I've seen so far.

Do a search for "Europe provider" and it will pull up some good
threads. In
general, the conclusion seems to be that T-Mobile has an edge due to
better
roaming agreements. Also, 900 Mhz is very important as it may be the
only
available service in many places.
With the Ipaqs make sure it has a user replaceable battery.
Good luck and have a good trip.

Subject: [SOCALWUG] Wireless PDA choices and pay as you go service in
the UK
It's been many years since I've carried a PDA. I have an upcoming trip
to
the UK (a 2 week vacation) and I need email and other connectivity
while
traveling. I definitely need Windows Mobile for Windows integration.
I'm considering one of these PDA's (unlocked version):
HP iPAQ h6315
HP iPAQ h6340
HP iPAQ h6365
Each of these appear to support quad band, international GSM/GPRS.
I'm looking at T-Mobile or Cingular for my service in the US. Which
one is
recommended? Most of my use in the US is withing Southern California.
I'd
like to arrange a UK service before I leave. I need a "pay as you go"
data
and voice service in the UK.
Can anyone recommend a "pay as you go" data and voice service for use
in the
UK?
Any reason not to go with the HP iPAQ? Is there another killer PDA I
should
consider?
Which accessories do you recommend?
I don't travel overseas very often at all, so I only need a temporary
service outside the US.
Thank you
