Advantages: Size,Rechargeable Batteries,Compatible with PC

Disadvantages: They aren't cheap.

I have had my Psion Revo for approx. 4 months now, it was purchased to replace my existing Psion 3a which I had used for the previous 2 years. The initial benefits I liked were the rechargeable built-in batteries, the docking station for connecting to my PC and carrying out the recharging process, the fact that it was lighter and smaller than it's predecessor and the improved display. The Revo is extremely versatile and can be used simply as a basic electronic diary/time manager, or it can be used to access the internet and send/read e-mails. It has the capability of synchronising with your PC, which allows you to update a contact manager on your PC such as Lotus Organizer with the data on your Psion Agenda. It will also allow you to download your unread emails from your PC to your Revo so you can read them on the move. If you have an Irda compliant mobile phone you can also use the data stored in your Revo to dial out. It has all of the usual Psion features such as the World Clock, Jotter, Calculator, Spell checker,Spreadsheet and Word Processor functions included.
I principally use it as my diary, managing all of my appointments and To Do Lists, it also reminds with the alarm functions of any up and coming birthdays,anniversaries or appointments with the family that you just DON'T miss.
I have recommended the Revo to several colleagues, most of whom have subsequently purchased their own machine, I've had no complaints to date, and none of them has reverted to a paper based diary.
