As per subject, I was looking forward to search on eBay for a dedicated RC phone - don't even care if calling functions work. What is the cheapest model I can find? Suggestions?
Expansys normally have a few cheap phones like the iMate 8502 and the iPaq Voice Messenger for £100. I'm pretty sure these both work with RaceChrono as they're both Windows Mobile.
I'd go with some cheap touchscreen Nokia S60 device like 5230. I think they are around 150-160 Euros new everywhere. http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=193790
why don`t you just buy a gps logger like the iblue 747A+ (around 60Â and can log with 5hz). you can import and analyse your logged data afterwards. I don`t know how good the gps recievers in these mobile phones are but would wonder if they are better than a standalone logger...
It's best to use an external logger. The suggested phones/PDAs are just for installing RaceChrono, which means you can actually review your data at the track without a laptop. Generally, the phone is also used for logging the data getting the GPS data from a bluetooth-connected GPS receiver.
