You would have to use an ancient modem or just sync emails by serial cable&#x2F;irda, but the Psion 5MX was about the pinnacle of portable content creation hardware, IMO. With it you can write emails or whole books if you wish. Some prefer the 3 series, but not necessarily for the keyboard. 25-40hr battery life on 2 AAs, insta-on operation, CF card transfer of files - no wonder people are still using them.<p>Now that people are not as fixated on having colour screens, being primed to now accept e-ink style displays, is there a chance we could get a similar device with more modern specs? I think I&#x27;d <i>still</i> rather work from a palmtop than a laptop or phone when not at a &#x27;workstation&#x27;.<p>I used an N900 for a long time (relatively speaking) and found its keyboard to be solid, but not in a way that could make writing or emailing tasks more productive.
