Firstly, its good that you've done some research. From my experience, if you really want a pocket pc, you will have to be able to adapt yourself in the typing interface. My first pocket pc did not have a keyboard, so i had to constantly use the stylus to type. At first, just coz its a new gadget, it seemed fine to me, but after a while, its really not that convenient as in its not fast enough compared to using a keyboard. So, I would recommend getting a pocket pc with an external keyboard built in to it. Secondly, a very important issue with pocket pcs, are that they hang really easily if you are not patient with the applications. I strongly suggest getting one of the fastest processor speed that you can get. Also, preferably with at least 64mb of internal memory. This is because that's the only space you typically use to install applications. I guess the typical applications that people use for pocket pcs are for appointments, taking short notes, recording voices, and also to read some documents before attending a meeting or something. Another useful thing is that you can download news for free directly into the pocket pc from your computer's internet to read in da car or something. As for wi-fi and bluetooth, I would say bluetooth is a definite must, and wifi, just think of where you would be using it most often. If the area you work has wifi connectivity, it would be good to have a pda with built-in wi-fi. Finally, I would think hp provides pretty reliable pdas. Anyway, honestly, I think its actually better to have a pda phone rather than just a pda because its an extra equipment to carry around. Besides, alot of phones and smartphones nowadays, provide the functions that are available from a pda itself. Look into O2 phones, the XDA is 'ok'. I'm not sure about nokia, but I think their new range of phones seem pretty good to work as a pda as well, and it even includes wi-fi in them now. Gluck in ur search dude.
