Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your reply. I have ordered it now (Before I read your email!)
and actually brought it from the same site as you, that's pretty scary! I
searched on www.kelkoo.co.uk for the cheapest and that was the best that it
found.

OK, my mobile phone is a NOKIA 7210, no bluetooth :o( Just Infra Red. Would
that work? I will mainly connect to the internet at home. So if I brought
one of those little bluetooth doggle thingies that can be plugged into the
USB port of my laptop, would I be able to connect to the internet on my PDA
via that?

I'm mainly getting the PDA to read .PDF files. I am a bit of a novice
programmer and have about 4GB worth of programming/computing .PDF files.
They would cost a fortune to print and so I'd just like to be able to sit in
a corner and read them at my leasure. The Adobe Pocket PC Reader looks
great and so that's my reason for buying the PDA. The 2210 looks very
popular, with loads of accessories, and the PocketPC Operating system has a
nice amount of software available for it... plus at £214 from
globalpositioningsystems it's a bargain!

Thank you for all of your help, I really appreciate it.

Kind regards,

Cass

PS Out of interest, did you opt for the FREE 2-4 days shipping from global
positioning systems? If so, how long did it take to get to you?
