    Good Points: Good quality keyboard, stylish closing mechanism, best word processor of any PDA on the market (EPOC Word).


    Bad Points: Limited memory, serial port for docking station, screen requires good lighting conditions.


    General comments: The Psion Revo PDA is an eye-catching machine, with the stylish design and high-quality build that is arguably lacking in most of the competition. Battery life feels unusually short while a lack of USB support is disappointing, however the Revo remains an essential buy, especially for those seeking a high-quality PDA with a keyboard and word-processor.

    I have been a dedicated Psion user since I bought a Psion 3a 7 years ago (& subsequently a Psion 3c), but will be no longer. This is a poorly designed machine; the screen is barely readable except in very good lighting conditions, the battery performance is poor and the charger comes with a very short cable and will only work off 240v. If the unit is recharged as suggested in the manual, the NiMh batteries fail early (at 10mths in the case of 2 separate machines).
    I have always found the most ...

    The Psion Revo Plus Handheld / mini-Laptop could be a great contender in the present handheld - PDA market place. It form-factor w/ the fold-out keyboard and the third party software support out on the web for it, really those make it a gem. I have provided several TomeRaider eBooks on my web page for the Psion Revo also.

    Seven years ago I bought a PC which was powered by a 25Mhz processor and boasted 4Meg of RAM. This little baby runs at 36Mghz and has four times the memory! This item is far superior to the handheld devises that are currently on offer in the market, the keyboard makes it really user friendly, a real pocket word processor! Also the price makes the Revo Plus very desirable by comparison. There is ample software available and with that 16meg of RAM there is plenty of room to store it. If Psion were ...

    The Psion Revo must be one of the (if not the) best organisers around. A rock solid operating system (no crashes in 1.5 years!), a keyboard, spreadsheet, wordprocessor, internet access, database, agenda, phonebook and especially a keyboard (an essential item!). Since buying a Revo, I have stopped using a laptop on the train and meetings, a filofax, calculator, alarm clock, note books. My only reservation would be that it does not have a colour display (although purely for pose value) and new ...

    I have used the Psion Revo for over a year and find it extremely useful. I dont have a paper diary and never miss an appointment. People always comment on how attractive it is and the IR link allows easy transfer of data and files to other psions. A great gadget.

    The Psion Revo is a great little device if you wish to
    a) type longer documents
    b) syncronise your contacts with your mobile and PIM

    It beats tbe Palmpilot's and IPaq's of this world because it has:
    1) good installed software
    2) a horizontal screen (good for entering text with)
    3) a very useable keyboard

    Enjoy

    The Psion revoplus is a very good choice for someone considering buying their fist Palmtop who intends to use it for internet use. The Intergrated WAP and Web browser makes it a lot easier to use to go virtually straight onto the internet rather than installing the web browsing software off the Psiwin disk. The 16mb of ROM means that you can add more and more software and not be worried about taking up space on your disk. The 36Mhz processer means that you can run a variety of programs that need ...
