Can someone guide me around the PDA minefield??

Hi folks,

I'm due to upgrade my phone.
Now initially wasn't going to bother as the one I've got suits me fine.
However yesterday a work collegue brought in his new PDA (I think it was something like an xdIII running the windows software) and I was mightily impressed as it's features seemed to be seemed to be genuinely useful.

Now I've done a bit of research since then and have come up with a list of wants; which are:

It must be small (by PDA standards)
I'd like to check my emails on it and surf PH on it a bit
Play music on it
I'd like to be able to set it up to do sat nav.
Wifi would be nice
and as cheap as possible please! :)

The PDAs Ive seen that come close to this are the Orange SPV M500 and the iMate Jam - which I think may be the same thing. The size and the looks are good and I believe you can stick a card in them to do WiFi, but I don't know about sat nav.

I don't know the best place to get any of this kit or what deals are avialable. And after a couple of hours Googleing my brains now starting to ache.

Help!

You can do Sat Nav on the M500, I have it on my C500. Check out TomTom mobile.

Not sure about the WiFi but if it has a CF slot there are CF wifi cards on the market.

It is only Orange that sell the M500 branded as the M500. About £70 last time I looked, with a contract.
