I'm so sad I couldn't get my hands on that Psion-like keyboard for it.

This is one of those things seems cool but is it (usability)?

My own opinion, I bought a Toshiba Libretto CT50 and the keyboard is really cool but also so small/hard to use.

When your fingers are too fat and/or your hands are too big for a Libretto, or you have pathological issues troubling the relevant appendages, then do yourself a favor and don't bother.

It's obvious: These keyboards are, or should be, primarily made for mobile people, so high quality and tray or coffee table compatibility are a must. The Psion 5-series keyboards are ideal for this as long as you don't fuck with the formula.
