There is the Planet Gemini [1]. My understanding is that the company was founded by some ex-Psion folk, and the keyboard on the Gemini is supposed to be pretty close to the one on the Series 5. The Gemini runs both Android and Linux. Having owned both a 200LX and a Psion Series 5 (and other handhelds), I wish I could justify buying the Gemini. Unfortunately, I already have too many bits of tech I don't use regularly to warrant another to go on the pile. [1] https://www.www3.planetcom.co.uk/gemini-pda |

The keyboard is good, for the size it is (whole thing is large phone size). I have a Psion 5, and the Gemini keyboard is pretty much an exact copy, but better.
I feel like there's 2 kinds of keyboard modalities - thumbs (loved my Blackberries) and touch-type. The Gemini is just a bit too small for touch typing, and is too large for thumbs. It's still very cool.
I typed a couple of blog posts on it, but wouldn't want to do more than that. Since then it's been gathering dust.
I'm planning to eBay it soon to very-slightly-offset a Pocket Reform. From the pictures believe that the Pocket Reform is just large enough to be a touch-typer.
