The worst bit is it has problems transferring large spread sheets.


General Comments

I use my Psion Series 7 PDA to keep my company records, for all the personal accounts, the accounts of the gun club that I am treasurer of and for email. Most useful when travelling for sending pictures as attachments as we go.
Neuon N convert transfers and converts sheet files but does not transfer the formulas so untill a solution comes up that is the only thing that lets it down for me. I recently had to send it away for repair. Just a couple of little things - mainly the microphone did not work properly. While it was away I was totaly lost without it. I have come to rely on it so much. It is like an extension of me. I probably use it more than the PC.

    I used to have a Series 5 & still own a Series 7. In my humble opion they are still the best PDAs ever built BUT they both have a serious design fault... the cable that connects the CPU to the screen cannot sustain the constant flexing from the opening and shutting of the unit. I have had to replace two screens because of this frustrating fault, each time just outside the warranty period & the cost, at repair costs almost amounting to the cost of a new unit price. Just recently my son, an electronic engineer who inherited my Series 5, informed me that the repaired unit was on its way out again. This time the S5 lasted longer but only because he kept it open most of the time & only shutting it when absolutely necessary. Each time this problem happened Psion did not want to know about it and never offered to help out in any way. Worst still my son was turned down flat when he asked for the parts so he could save considerable money on labour costs. This also happened to me. Very disappointing to say the least especially for otherwise a truly great PC product... and I'm a strong Mac user.

    Please accept my apologies - I confused the model numbers... my son inherited the Series 3 and I retained the Series 5. However it was my intention to purchase a Series 7 but in lieu of the cable flexing problems & Psion's unhelpfulness I decided against doing so.
