The rx5900 comes with European mapping and WiFi, the rx5700 only comes with UK mapping.

£30 cashback on the rx5720 from HP here.

When I was referring to the two models I meant the rx5935 has two separate part numbers:

FA816AT and FA816AA ???

I'd like to know the difference as I cannot find any?

What accessories would you recommend I buy for home use?

The HP Business Forum is as good a place as any for finding out the nitty gritty. Bookmark it, because i can never find the thing without it !

I bought the iPAQ rx5935 a few weeks ago. It's a great little machine but the European maps it comes supplied with turned out to be way out of date! I don't know exactly how old but one of the things missing was the London congestion charge zone!

With great difficulty I contacted HP to complain but their only response (after 2 weeks and me chasing them up) was to offer to sell me up to date maps for £66 !!!

I took the machine back to PC world who were very nice and gave me my money back.

If you decide you are willing to pay the extra I should warn you of it's other drawback. Because it has buttons on three surfaces it regularly gets switched on by accident in your pocket or bag and so the battery is low when you need it. Because it's a little bigger than older iPAQ models there are not yet after market cases available to solve this problem and the HP one is no good.
