  • It was my first IT gadget! Still have it somewhere :)

  • Great review. Like your style and yes £60 probably does equal $800 in todays climate.

  • i bought this one for 10 bucks :) now i found it in a storage box while i was digging for childhood memories.. im now learning opl programming to kill time

  • A fantastic device - I am getting a Psion 5 (not an mx) delivered soon from ebay, cost me £20!

    My favourite things are that they have full QWERTY keyboards, use AA batteries, and have so many useful applications. I am also looking forward to doing some programming on mine! Oh and did i mention they are extremely portable and of course retro technology which is something i've always enjoyed using!

  • 60 pounds is about 800 dollars? What?

  • I agree, I am beginning to think the fact that it is not net connection orientated is now one of its strengths. Most of the more modern devices are not much use if you have no network connection. I also like he fact that it uses normal batteries and is not reliant on a power source to charge it.

  • I used to have this 9/10 yrs ago when living in europe. I have had all the nokia communicators, most balckberrie includibg bold. my mc218 got burgled in barcelona :( i just bought one of ebay for hundy and will use it to write memos and emails. it was so easy to use.. excellent type and fast navigation and reliable. absolutely brilliant!

  • Found one of these in second hand shop today for 13 €, seemingly never used. It's a really neat device. Striking how well designed it is, zero 'boot'-time and instant response. The keyboard is great. It's kinda good that it doesn't have that great connectivity, cause then there is fewer distractions and u can get some work done.

  • I have an Ericksson MC218. trouble is its got a French Rom in it. I can't understand their phrases in the menus as they are deliberately 'nationalistic' and avoid any anglophile terms.

    I can get functionality out of it but struggle when the batterys die and the CR2032 backup battery too. I save data to the compact flash, that is my main drive but it doesn't capture the data in the calendar and the same data doesnt come across in the PsiWin, only contacts and applications data. What is wrong ?

  • Hello.

    This is fantastic! It's good to see the Psion range doing it's thing. Do you have the program called 'Calligrapher'?

    Keep the Psion alive!

    Matt.
