Yeah N97 definitely looks more appealing than the E90

But IMHO the keypad is still to small to do some typing on the table. Actually I found such a device... the M1D:

The only thing I don't like about it is the OS. XP drains too much power, although I'm no big fan of Android, I'd much prefer a netbook/smartphone tuned OS that can give me a full day's work instead of the typical crappy 2-3hrs.

Psion used to have a clamshell PDA called the Mako.

With all these new Netbooks and SmartPhones out there I just wished there was a device that approximated the Psion Mako (or its larger cousin 5MX) in form factor:

Something I can sit on the table and finger-peck but at the same time, thumb type if needed. The Psion OS was pretty awesome - better than the Palm OS at that time (1999) IMHO. If only someone would bring it back and add Wifi/3G and firefox, I'd be so over that unit! (I don't really care for color - so e-ink would be cool too to increase battery life).

I thought the Nokia E90 was the one, but sadly, its keyboard sucks d**k (its impossible to finger peck)

Was there a Psion Mako?
