I have a Psion 5mx... i've had a few. Unofortunately i lent the 5mx to my
g/f and she cracked the corner of the screen. :( it still works, just
stylus use is awkward. the liquid crystal isn't damaged it's just the
front glass layer. No one has a spare?

The reason i'm writing this email is regarding someones comment 'the only
thing wrong with the psion is the lack of hand writing recognition.'

Someone did make hand writing software, called Caligrapher i believe. It's
very Newton like in that it realisticly recognises cursive, print or mixed
writing near faultlessly. Actually i can't remember if it's better than
the Newton recognition or not.

Annoyingly it's a floating window though... not native to the OS. But it
works ok.
