SoloPalmari have put together a huge review of PocketPC powered GPS systems. All togther they reviewed six PDA’s with GPS recievers. After looking at the picture below it would be difficult for them to get lost with that many GPS devices tracking your route. 
“These devices are not the only electronic companions of our tests. We also have some newcomers, but we are not going to publish the results for them, due to obvious reasons. An example is the T830 by Fujitsu Siemens, still in a preliminary phase, that is expected to be available on the market by next July/September.

Side by side to this UMTS PDA phone we have included other devices: JasJar, the “king” (review); Globalsat GH-601, the wrist receiver; SD-502, the Secure Digital with a GPS antenna inside; some Nokia smartphones, and a long list of Bluetooth GPS receivers of old and new generation…..”
