Psion Revo

Pros: compact
Cons: no backlit screen

Revo is very compact and transportable. The Qwerty keyboard and desktop software make Revo a good Palmtop. I like using the keyboard rather than the pen based Palm and I liked the Revo.

It is as small and transportable as a Palm. You can...

Pros: Screen, speed, built in quality apps.
Cons: small memory / no backlight / unreliable PC connection

I have been using the Revo 8MB for more than a year now, and I own a Psion Series 5 for more than three years now. After using the "big" and "heavy" Psion Series 5, I really wanted that fits in my pocket. Something I can just pop out when needed. In ...

Pros: Keyboard, E-mail on the move, small size.
Cons: No back-light.

I had wanted a personal organiser for a while, but could not decide between a pen based organiser and keyboard type. The pad and pencil approach was not working, as bits of paper get lost and forgotten, plus they don't have audible alarms to warn of...

Pros: Compact casing, Light, Long life Batteries, Full-Features
Cons: No Backlight, Limited Freeware

I had been shopping for a PDA for almost 6 months. The Psion series had came highly recommended by a friend. He had been an ardent follower for more than 2 years - almost like a cult. The Revo did not disappoint. It was sleek, classy and felt like it...

Pros: Keyboard, flawless syncing, larger screen
Cons: heavier weight, not expandable, limited after-market software, atypical

In a competitive market the Revo stands out because it does many different things well. The Revo has some limitations. However, its various features distinguish it from the pack.

Keyboard: I had decided to purchase a Handspring Visor. It...

Pros: Light, class-leading applications, small, large, clear screen
Cons: Limited expandability, price, no backlight

For those of you who like the handheld format (rather use a keyboard than scribble on the screen), Psion has always been a class leader. Windows CE just doesn't match the elegance of Psion's EPOC32 operating system. The Psion Series 5mx has been the one...

Pros: keyboard, lightweight, good builtin software
Cons: connectivity is hard

The Revo is a very nice little package. If you want an organizer with a keyboard, it's an attractive choice. The alternative (for me) would have been a Palm with the new folding keyboard, but that is just not going to be as convenient as having the...

Pros: Elegant, easy, good apps
Cons: Won't talk to a Mac properly

Okay, first an admission. I'm a Palm user (hmmm, that sounds like I'm on a 12-step programme). So I'm not a very objective reviewer.

But, having just spent a few days setting-up and playing with the Psion Revo I gave to my mother, I'm...

Pros: Small, light, good keyboard
Cons: Can't expand memory past 8 megs.

You know how most PDAs have either a touch screen function or a tiny, squishy keyboard? Well, the Revo's keyboard is very usable, in addition to being small. In case you don't like the keyboard, there's a stylus to use also. It doesn't use Windows CE,...

Pros: stylish, good typing, battery, size
Cons: no backlight

As an experienced palmtop user, my number one priority is a keyboard that is typable. The screen resolution is number two. The revo has a small keyboard which takes getting use to and sometimes it's hard to tell when you've actually pressed a key or...

Pros: Small size, light weight, clear screen in almost all light conditions
Cons: 8MB memory can be quickly filled, lack of backlight is a problem in darkness

This PDA comes with Word processor, spreadsheet, contacts database, agenda, world time, email and ca ...

Pros: Best Diary around, Best Database &search, Great keyboard,perfect for sending SMSmessages /updating mobilephone addresslists
Cons: No color screen, or gizmos. Just a tool to organize your life.

The Psion Revo is by far the best product available if you are looking for a device which is going to help you organize your life. Forget about the gizmos such as color screen, MP3, photobook etc etc. These options are nice but 98% of the time you dont...

Pros: Size, Features, Easy of use
Cons: Reliability

I have owned a REVO for 6 month having upgraded from a 3c. The REVO is a fantastic little machine - very easy to use, sync to Outlook and copy and paste anywhere is a great feature. What's the problem? My REVO has been desperately unreliable, The display...

Pros: Small and lightweight. Useful software.
Cons: Expensive.

The thing I wanted most of all when I was searching for a personal organizer was a keyboard, but the only ones I could find were some cheap Casio things that only held phone numbers and short notes. Then I found Psion's website and the Revo seemed...

Pros: works with GSM, stable OS, lots of add on software
Cons: no back light, pricey, small keyboard

The Revo is great email device. Before I had it, I was in desperate need to get an email device I could use anywhere, especially outside the US. After looking at all the products in the market, I could not find anything that would work with my mobile...
