Greetings

My 2210 (used daily since October 2003) is slowly approaching old age (like us all) and I am preparing to replace it, but I don't know what to replace it with. Can anyone help by suggesting a suitable replacement. My needs are limited, I don't need a phone, (I have a good phone), I don't need a camera, (I have a good camera), I might like GPS and WI-FI. I have some hardware I would like to keep on using i.e. Margi Presenter(CF card), Seiko SmartPad (IR) and Stowaway Keyboard (IR)

I use Word, Excel and many various pieces of software close to my heart, so I would like to maintain compatibility. I also like to play the occasional game, listen to my music and view some video files. As you can imagine I am running out of memory rapidly, hence the need for replacement.

I don't intend rushing into this purchase, but would welcome any suggestions regarding suitable devices.

The only Windows Mobile devices that I am aware of that are not cellphones too are the IPAQ 110 and the IPAq 210. I reviewed the IPAQ 110 and found it to be a decent pocket pc. I have not had a chance to work with the IPAQ 210, but there are several threads here that discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this device.

Most all the newer windows mobile devices (those that run the WM6.x OS) do not include an IR port, so you won't be able to use any of the hardware you currently use with the 2210 that relies on IR as the connection. I also wonder if your Margi Presenter Card will work with newer devices - the transition from windows mobile 2003 to WM5.0 was a dramatic change and was not necessarily backward compatible. Between the IPAQ 110 and the IPAQ 210, the IPAQ 210 is the only one that accommodates a CF card.

Both of these devices include a WIFI radio, but you'd need to purchase an external GPS solutions (connect via Bluetooth).

If you are running out of memory on the h2210, why not just get a larger SD or CF card for it and install your applications there?
