Anyone got one, not done all the reading yet but I was wondering whether I could surf at home with one, have broadband and a router (wired) so what would I need besides so I can surf in front of the telly ?

Also are they eay enough to attach a mobile to for email ?

In essence yes, but most web sites are not designed for their li'le screens and so are a pain to navigate.

You can get wired network cards for them, but by far the best advise is get a wireless AP to plug into your router and a wireless card for the PDA.

Mostly depends on the mobile phone, it would need to have an IR port and a standard interface as a mobile modem. Most of the modern Nokia's for example the 6100 provide this.

By the way, go for 1 of the Dell Axim's, they are as well spec'd but half the price. Oh, and they are fabbo for games

Many thanks for taking the time to provide that very helpful info, confirms what I was suspecting really, I will go and have a look at the Axim and see how that stacks up.

Thanks again !

you can attach to a mobile via bluetooth very easily.

Some ipaqs (and I believe Axims) have wifi built in.

Something like Thunderhawk makes the browsing a whole lot easier.

My 3955 makes a great remote control too!
