I'm replacing my ageing toshiba e740 pda, which i currently use mainly as a
sat nav system, but also for connecting to the net via wifi,

I'm after a pda with built in gps.. the latest sirf 3 ones, must have wifi,
run pocket pc 5, able to run tomtom 5 or 6,

Plus (heres where the relevence to this group comes in) i want to replace my
mobile phone, so may as well get a pda with a phone built in, that'd give me
gprs/3G connections when i can't find a cheap/free wifi spot,

I'm looking at the MDA compact 3, which is a re-badged HTC P3300 it seems,

But, i've read a write up saying t-mobile have disabled wifi on the MDA
versions, and it does seem that way, the phone on the t-mobile site makes no
mention of wifi,
yet some other sites do list wifi as a feature (these were european sites)

Does the mda compact 3 have wifi or not?

is it a decent devise?? problems with it,

And what alternatives are there,

I don't mind paying upto £250 for the right devise, but for the phone part i
want a mainly data price plan, which is the best company for this?

I travel abroad a lot, and the call back sim (global one/0044) i used on the
last trip was a pain in the A, 6 out of 10 calls couldent be made, can you
get the mda compact 3 sim free? or the htc p3300 sim free for £250, or on a
contract for that price, i can't seem to find anyone other than O2 selling
the htc with a contract.
