Computer with heart rate and strava connection

Hi, 

Advice gratefully received on computers...I'm looking to upgrade from the current budget but reliable Cateye one in order to see heart rate info. 

Does anyone know of a decent computer that will display heart rate simultaneously on the screen and also transmit this to the strava running on my iphone for storage and analysis afterwards?

Would a Cateye strada do this or is Garmin the only offering (I had a dreadful experience with a previous unit and dont want to go back!)? I'm not mounting my phone on the bars!

Hoping to spend £100 tops, probably a bit ambitous though!

Cheers!

The Garmin 25 http://www.wiggle.co.uk/garmin-edge-25-gps-cycle-computer/ comes in under £100, but you'll need a heart rate strap if you don't have one already.

^ cateye stealth is on that list.

I've only ever used Ant+: you get a USB dongle which connects to your device and uploads via its software on your computer... You set it/Strava to talk to each other and away you go. Easier than it sounds - at least with garmin.
