Dell Axim x51 would probably fit the bill, they are being used quite a
lot at where I work. Starts at £231 for the "base" model up to £325
for the fastest model.

Look at a Dell Axim, but spec bluetooth as well as wifi, as its useful to
have to use with mobile phones and gprs

For example, www.ibishotel.com is OK until you get to the 'reserve the
room' screen, when my aged and basic ipaq throws it's toys out of the
pram. Similar story on various internet banking login screens. Might
be my old ipaq being crap, or the fact that IE mobile can't cope with
such stuff (as I recall reading some time ago).

Yes, sorry - I did indeed mean that you can chuck SD or CF in.

Cheers for that, it seems that the axim has a degree of favour here, so
I'll go and find one to play with. Do sites like google and BBC still
chuck out a cut down PDA page on the axim, or does the browser display
the 'proper' page?
Cheers
