WiFi Pocket PC

I am interested in buying a Pocket PC device.

After spending time installing a wireless network into my home, a pocket PC
that can receive WiFi would be great.

A quick look at the market sugggests a HP 5400 series device. These are
however £400-500 to buy.

The alternative Bluetooth is obviously cheper, and probablt suites my needs
for a pocket pc, but obviousl does not have WiFi.

Is there a way forward form here without having to spend out that amount of
cash.

What I want is a pocket pc, that has the windows environment, i.e. msn
messenger/outlook, and has a WiFi receiver.

Thanks :-)

So buy a cheap PPC and add a compact flash wifi card.

Have a look at the Dell handhelds...no wifi but they are cheap enough to add
a CF card to..

I have a Toshiba 740 with built in Wifi AND a CF slot. Love it!

You should also be aware that there is a Compact Flash WiFi card, so if your
pocket PC has a CF slot (like the old Journada 430) you could just add the
card (as I recall it was about $75).
