Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Enhanced Xircom Rex 5001 including Docking Station by Simo Whisperer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unique and unmatched comfort

I remember buying a Psion Pocket PC and then an Ipaq Pocket PC to use as an organizer. But in terms of simplicity and convenience, Rex is absolutely unbeatable. I mainly use it as a small book phone which I really need. Instead of rummaging in my bag looking for a pocket computer, I just pull out the Rex and in 1 minute I have the right phone number. I put the Rex in my front pocket, which is probably not the best solution. However, my pants are not so tight that this is a big problem. I've had a Rex before when the screen started dying but that was after years of use. I don't think the wallet (back pocket) is a great place to store the Rex as there probably isn't much room in the back (cough). The Palm V is comparable, but it's still huge compared to the PC Card. Rex size. The TruSync software wasn't as intuitive as I had hoped, but I got my Outlook data up and running with no issues. I'm so happy with Rex I have two in case I lose one.

Pros
  • Durable surface
Cons
  • Almost never
