You could buy a bluetooth-enabled GPS logger and use a PDA or Smartphone 
for waypoint logging. This way you can always keep the GPS receiver at a 
position with good reception, while being able to record waypoints on 
your phone. If you got one with a full keyboard you can easily type on, 
you can also enter Waypoint Names or Descriptions much faster than on 
most GPS devices.

TrekBuddy (a J2ME application) supports taking photos and voice 
recording to waypoints, I think. You'd have to check first if those 
features work on the device you want to buy or already have.
