Default Which PocketPc/Phone/GPS/Software for my situation?

Hello

I am needing some advice on three different things that will be put together for one purpose. A PocketPC/Smart Phone (Cingular/AT&T), a GPS Receiver for the phone and software for the GPS. I live in San Diego CA. and currently have a contract with AT&T. So I would prefer to come up with a combination that will work on that network.

I would like the phone to run Windows and Office, more specifically Excel, and have a built in camera (currently I am thinking the BlackJack is a good choice).
Then I am needing a GPS receiver with Bluetooth that will work with the Phone and Mapping Software, I am looking for mapping software rather than subscribing to something like Cingular/AT&T TeleNav monthly GPS Service, that can do something like the following:

A GPS/Mapping software that will build routes with putting in 50 addresses or more and will provide a suggestion for the most efficient route possible. If not, then something that will show on a map each location so that I can rearrange the route properly, similar to the way mapquest works with one big exception allowing more that 10 locations.

I do on site customer property surveys and every 3 to 5 days I receive between 10 to 30 work orders, on excel spread sheets, each will have between 1 to 30 addresses. There can be addresses that are next door to each other or across the street from one another on different work orders and addresses that are 50 miles away from each other on the same work order, I point this out because I am looking for something like this so I do not have to do all the grouping of areas manually as well as not having to drive across town from one address to another, overlapping locations I have already been at.

As an added benefit I was hoping that the GPS/Mapping software would allow for the addresses to be imported in form Excel rather that having to manually type in each individual address.

I am wanting this so that I may have a turn by turn navigation package that I can use will I am driving or while I am walking my routes.

Thank you for your time and any suggestions and/or advice that you might share.
