I am looking for my third PDA, after my Palm Tungsten has died on me (previously, I had a Psion Series 5).

I would prefer one with a mini keyboard (e.g. Blackberry type) and also one capable of internet access, with Word and other office functions, plus the possibility of plugging in an SD card with GPS software.

Could anyone recommend a fairly recent bit of kit?

You might do worse than to have a look at http://www.expansys.com/t.aspx?f=19. The HTC TyTN's a nice bit of kit - the keyboard being a killer feature. The P3300 doesn't have a physical keypad, but does have GPS built-in.

im selling my toshiba E750 - it has Bluetooth, compact Flash, and SD Card slots, it can access the web via BlueTooth and dialup via your mobile or VPN via your PC, or via Compact Flash WiFi.. You can buy keyboards to clip on the bottom, you can also buy an optional expansion pack for the bottom which allows output to a standard monitor etc..

you can do GPS with one of the Bluetooth GPS recievers too

the stylus has broken, im asking around £80 for it, with Charger, Dock, Manual .. Let me know if your interested
