I had one of these – and although CE was indeed a dog’s breakfast, it wasn’t all bad. The keyboard was quite useable, and Pocket Word was capable of knocking out a serious length essay. And you could even plug it in to a proper monitor to get real colour! More to the point, it was dead cheap for personal computing – much cheaper than the (infinitely better) Psion stuff. I did manage to get it networking to the rest of my system as well.

Hmm, I never really liked this Phenom – but I do remember a client having one – at that time I had Psion Series 3a which IMO was far better but both devices and many others at that time had one major drawback which was battery life. I only ever had one device after that time – which I still have today actually and believe it or not – still use, because it simply does the job I want – its my Palm m100. It keeps a track of all of my appointments and contacts and various other notes. Its a handy little device with a b&w lcd screen, even a green backlight, powered by 2 AA batteries – which get replaced every 3 or 4 months or maybe even longer. Its a real gem though I have always thought of getting the latest all in one smart phone my dream is the HTC TyTnII – but will it be as economically efficient as my current device? Probably depends on how and what I’ll use it for.
