All in one or buy separately?
Can I fix a lot of problems in one hit or should I buy separate gear for sure quality?

Currently:
- k750i on pay as you go Tescos mobile and swapping the simcard for T-Mobile for GPRS. Does what it does well.

Useful:

1) Cheaper international calls

2) Very nice camera (better than 2MP K750i) so I don't have to buy a digicam

3) Possible 300mb/month 3G data option for laptop

4) Windows Mobile so I can install TomTom for navigation (already have bluetooth reciever), VoIP for WiFi hotspots (have the software ready; and hotspot auto finder software too)

Alternatively:

- buy a 3G PCMCIA card (Ł100?)
- buy a bluetooth PDA for TomTom to keep in the car (probably Ł60)
- buy a nice camera phone k800 separately and stay away from contracts
- buy international sim cards

Cavats:

- I am out of signal at sea for half of the year so contracts are effectively double the price

Questions:

1) 3G. Will it lead to a crappy half-arse phone that is bad at being a phone?

2) Windows Mobile. Will it lead to a crappy half-arse phone that is bad at being a phone?

3) Contracts. I don't like the risk of ruining my credit rating (worth Ł400 a month) and I don't find phone companies too trustworthy. Is it worth the risk to get a phone that can save me buying all this gear?
