A Psion Series 5mx PRO German Edition

The Psion 5 is a PDA from Psion. It comes in two main variants, the Series 5 (launched in 1997) and the Series 5mx (1999), the latter having a faster processor, clearer screen, and updated software. There is also a rare Series 5mx Pro, which differs only in having the operating system loaded into RAM and hence upgradable. Ericsson produced a rebadged version of the Series 5mx called the MC218.
