Advantages: Good features

Disadvantages: unreliable

I have had two of these now and both have gone the same way. One day you just pick them up, turn them on, and with a long beep they die! Just go completely blank and refuse to even turn on. Yes, whilst they are 'alive' they are an excellent machine, easy to use with lots of features but I am now very wary of them having had two go the same way. On both occasions I phoned Psion's technical support line, which costs £1 per minute, only to be told that I would have to send it back to them for repairs. They won't even look a it unless you send them £20 with the Psion and there is a minimum charge for repair which is £65, which they claim covers 'most' repair jobs, however it could be more if it is a major problem. This is extortionate when you consider their price new. I am sorry to you Psion fans out there but I give them a big thumbs down.:-((

The problem with the Psion is that there is a small ribbon cable that connects the screen to the rest of it. This is the normally the main thing that goes. If you are brave you can open up the Psion and re-fit it yourself if it is loose or buy a replacement, I think the cables are about £5 to £10 each. It will only take about 15mins to do and you can find comprehensive instructions on the Net.
