As a recent convert from a Psion 5mx, and without being able to answer all
your questions, I am enjoying using a second-hand Jornada 728 as a Psion
replacement, with a WiFi card (old Buffalo job), and Textmaker. I tried a
Tungsten C, but I missed the proper keyboard too much, and didn't want to
lug a separate one everywhere.
Lots of 720/728s on eBay...
