I've had 3 Pocket PC's and now a Tungsten T3. Tried them all with TomTom. Found the Tungsten to be the most reliable. Better battery life and didn't crash nearly as much as the pocket pc's.
Tungsten doesn't have the full thrill factors of the pocket pc's, but it does the job of a pda / Route planner very nicely If you want to go for the Pocket PC route, I have my Ipaq 2210 for sale with Holux GPS mouse + tom tom software for sale.!
