Amazon.com Review:
Psion's been around the handheld industry as long as the rest of the big manufacturers, and they're not changing their large-scale design for anybody. While the latest Psion, the 5mx, looks similar to the Psion 5 (which is in turn similar to other previous iterations), it integrates various internal changes that make it a more powerful machine.
The Psion's large format aims at users who need more power than a Palm-sized palmtop and more portability than a notebook PC. While you won't be using the 5mx in hand that often--it's a bit too bulky and weighs three-quarters of a pound--its well-designed case sits flat on a table or even your leg. And it stays steady while you're typing or tapping on the screen with the comfortable pencil-length stylus. It's also one of the few handhelds anymore to ship with a keyboard, and a very usable one at that.
The Psion can connect to the Internet wirelessly via its IrDA (infrared) port when using specific models of wireless phones or pagers--or via the optional Psion 56 Kbps travel modem. In our tests, PC synchronization worked seamlessly, with speedy transfer even using the serial port interface cable.
Armed with 16 MB of memory/storage (compared to the 8 MB of the Psion Series 5 before it), the 5mx opens applications quickly and multitasks smoothly. It was also refreshing to be able to actually type in our handheld's word processor and e-mail programs, even if we had to hunt and peck for a while before we got used to the smaller keys.
Although the 640 x 240 screen lacks color, text and images displayed crisply in gray scale, and a unique zoom feature allows you to increase the size of the text you're working with to see it more clearly. If you're a Palm lover, you'll be disappointed by the 5mx's heft and bulk. But if you're a user looking to get more out of your handheld PC, this Psion offers near-laptop capabilities. --J. Curtis

I have come into a Psion 5mx as a freebie. I am trying to set it up and am having a problem finding out how to set the communication link. The manual says to go to "Tools". Try as I may I cannot find this section to access the remote link. Any Help out there

The only thing that Psion did wrong was to start selling there new system with Windows CE. I have worked in the PDA industry have road tested every PDA there is to have and I still say that nothing touches or comes close to the Psion. Buy one you won't regret it. I have owned a Psion 3a 3c 5 and 5mx and there still far superior to anything else.

I have to say, this is the most practical and user friendly PDA i've ever had ! My first PDA was Palm based Handspring Visor, which i used extensively, but could never get the hang of grafitti or on-screen keyboard. I even bought a keyboard for it, but after a while it became a nuisance to lug it around. I upgraded to colour Sony Clie PEG-TG50, with built-in keyboard, at the expense of the screen size. It worked fine, until i upgraded to Win XP and then i couldn't sync it anymore.

In the Spring of 2003, I deployed to Iraq. At night, when I slept, whether it was in the dirt or on the tiled roof of an abandoned school, two things were always hugged close to my body: my M16-A2 series rifle, and my Psion.
In my capacity with the United States Army, I work as a print journalist. During my time in Iraq, I took photos, wrote stories, and escorted international media. During one month alone, my story output was more than double that of all but one other person in ... Read More
