Advantages: Everything you need and more

Disadvantages: Battery drain

If you can get your hands on one of these babies...

1) look after it
2) enjoy using it

They have amazing functionality - word processing, database, spreadsheet, clock, world time, voice recorder etc etc etc

They do need a little care. As well as not dropping them, do NOT snap them shut! It's very tempting, but it damages the screen.

Battery drain is a common problem and should be monitored. There are a number of options settings that allow you to help preserve batteries, such as changing the auto shut-off. The infra-red link and voice recorder are also very heavy on power usage.

The Psion 3 series machine is easy enough to back up on "Solid State Disk" (basically, a special Psion floppy disk that slots in cartridge style) or to your PC.

There was never THAT much software available for the Psion 3 series, I suppose because they didn't shift enough units to make it worthwhile. There is some freeware available though.

Happy using!
