PDAs and Net access

Hi, I need to get a PDA to run some software I need fr work. I have had Palms in the past and would prefer one of these as they are a lot cheaper and I like them. However they are out, as the software I am obliged to use runs on windows pocket edition only.

Now, I have a decision to make. 1)I buy a secondhand and/or very basic one just to run the software on.2) Buy an all singing all dancing £600 one with Sat Nav and cell phone built in with 1000 functions I know I will never need or use 3)Get something like an O2 XDA

I wouldn't be against having an XDA/Blackberry type of thing. But to be honest I don't want such a big and bulky thing with me all the time. But I would like occasinal access to the net to check my e-mails.

What I would ultimately suit me is a basic enough PDA with wireless utilities.

So assuming I have a bluetooth cell phone on a standard 02 UK pay monthly number, what is required in getting the PDA and phone to connect to the internet?

I am thinking of going for something like this:Dell

Any other reccomendations or things to look out for?
