📱 Enhanced Xircom Rex 5001 including Docking Station Review

I recently received my new 5001 after the screen on my last one broke in a briefcase. The new device updated by REXpro comes with a transparent mini plastic case for protection so that this doesn't happen again. I believe the device itself is still the best compromise in terms of features, size and price of any PDA, it does it all and syncs with Outlook as well as many other PIM applications - a perfect and absolute bargain.
