iPaq/Sat-Nav

I've noticed you can now pick up the iPaq Navigation System (inc. GPS receiver/jacket, windscreen suction mount, cigerette lighter adaptor, and software etc.) for £235 new.

So, I'm considering getting sat-nav. I've also been considering getting a Pocket PC for a while, so maybe now is the time to buy, and combine the two!

The only thing is, the iPAQ N.S. is only compatible with 3xxx series iPAQs. Which have been discontinued! There are a couple on eBay, but I don't really like buying on eBay! Of particular interested is the 3970, which was the newest one and also has bluetooth; since I have a Mac the bluetooth would also be good to transfer files across, with iPAQs and Macs over USB not being particularly friendly!

So, I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions of where to look for a 3970?

I really want the 1910, which is the entry-level, cheap one. I don't need any more from a PDA. It's also much smaller than the 3970. But, sadly, it doesn't support the jackets and as such I won't be able to get sat-nav on it! So that's a no go

Anyone any ideas of where to pick up a decent second-hand (or anywhere who still has some old stock left over) 3970 for a good price??
