Default Mobile phone, bluetooth, PDA, GPS= Help

Hi guys, a little help required please??

I'm currently setting up a new buisness, and i'm in the market for a new phone, and Sat nav system.

I had settled on getting a moto v525/v600 with blue tooth, and was looking for the best deals, prob need 200+ anytime mins 100txt's a month.

I had also been down to my local car hifi place to c about Sat Nav systems, they all seemed to be £1500+

Then today i went down to O2, to see about Moto v600, when the sales guy shows me there XDA mobile phone PDA thing, it's got blue tooth which i'll be needing, plus you can add Tom Tom or something to give you full Sat Nav, must admit i was very impressed.

Any one else, using anything simular?? i'm very tempted, but sligtly put off as you can only get it through O2.

Nokia 6310 (Bluetooth) HP iPAQ 1940 PDA and TomTom software with Bluetooth GPS, trying to get a Serial Bluetooth dongle for Road Angel to allow me to loose the TomTom GPS box. All in all - pretty impressed, just a touch more kit than having it all in one. Have a look at Dan Track. They do a Tracker for the car, with O2 PDA and Sat Nav as a package

the other option is

pda phone

treo 600

and a pda + satnav software

the XDA II looks good,, but its a bit naff when you have to answer the phone when down the pub with your mates..

the treo on the other hand isnt to bad and its not mush bigger than some of the new nokia ones

Cheers guys for all the replys,
mart360 good point about answering phone down pub. lol, could be a bit bling
Olly K like the idea of using GPS off road angel (another thing to add to list)

Off to another ICE place tomorrow, as my mates Sat Nav system (Kenwood touch screen DVD) has lost it's settings and as it's a complete mare to set up he's letting them fix it!!! i'll see what they've got.

Thanks again Roy, off to look at Jacee's website....

Got a V600 last week on Orange VP o2 200 inc 50 texts a month (£30 line rental).
Horrible phone, thinking of sending it back already.
