Gone are the days of everyone showing off their Palm V or their new Compaq, then HP, iPaq. Gone are the days of iPod bashing, HP re-branding, and the comeback of Palm. Where is my Foleo? If you are one of those people who needed an m100 7 years ago in 8th grade (I being one of them) or who still use it.... start posting here. Do you still use some sort of handheld today? What's your favorite of all time? I'm still a fan of the HP 2200 series, although my budget has begun to limit my love for tech.

Viva la Handhelds!

m100...I go back to the when the Palm m100 was the Palm III. I had a handspring which broke, and then I got a zire72. (im pretty sure I had one in between there).

The zire was a beast and I stopped carrying it, so just a few months ago, I got a WM phone...

Grade 11: Handspring Visor Neo.

That thing was so cool lol.

I had an HTC s620, do mobile phones count? Blackberry (dunno which model), i'll have it soon for my new job.

Damn, now I want it now.

Awww you should go to Ebay and buy one again, I sure do miss my m100 (and my iPaq)! I have a friend who just got a Tungsten T and now I remember why I loved the Palm OS so much.

I still have this bad boy laying around... a Kyocera 7135 for Verizon. It can still be activated on their network... Too bad I don't have Verizon anymore!

I've been a PDA user for nearly 10 years. It's been a love-hate relationship to be sure, with carrying around bulky devices that at times would be harder to use than a paper notebook, but they have finally come into their own with the new generation of PDA phone hybrids. I really do like my current unit, even with all its quirks, and use it daily.

I've currently got a Samsung i760 PDA phone (64MB), and plan on getting an iPhone as soon as work coughs up the cash for it.

Before that, I had a Dell Axim x50v (64MB), an Axim x5 (32MB), a Casio EM-500 (16MB), a couple of Everex Freesyles (4MB), and a Palm III (2MB).

What!?! An iPhone? I thought you didn't like those things? Please tell me you're kidding.

I'm broadening my horizons; after the whole Server 2008 fiasco I mentioned, I'm planning on getting as many cross-platform devices on my desk as possible.

Besides, while the iPhone has as many problems as any WM or Symbian device out there (actually more), the cool factor cannot be under-emphasized. Not to mention I'm sick of dealing with Verizon's BS.

The iphone is a beautiful hardware implementation. Now that it is getting active sync, there/are were only a few things stopping me from getting it.

1. No verizon
2. no keyboard
3. No ability other than itunes to add shit to it

*Sigh* ...Well thank god I'm over 40 and don't have to worry about being "cool" anymore ... because I wouldn't be caught dead with any of Apple's silly assed Fashion Accessories.

If I want my horizons Broadened, I'll invent a creative new way of peeing down my pants leg so I don't have to waste time opening my fly ... That may actually prove useful some day.

I am however experimenting with Slackware Linux, now that's a platform. Apples paraphernalia is just a bunch of toys for snobs to accesorize with.

In about one years time I am going to get me this phone. I hope it won't be too expensive when the time comes. But this is also a gps and an computer.

The problem is, there's no such thing as a perfect smart phone; hell, there's hardly such a thing as a really good one. My i760, while it does what I want it to do and is pretty stable for a WM device, is still a brick that requires charging at least once a day and whose browser is all but useless and whose media player is crap. As a PDA and a phone, it's very serviceable, as a true mobile device, it's seriously lacking. The iPhone, after the 2.0 update, will be able to do everything I do on my i760 (email, contacts and calendar from Exchange, plus phone calls) and has a much better browser and media player, is smaller, and has better battery life. Plus, the UI is quite simply head and shoulders above any other device. It may be a fashion accessory, but in this case, it's also a superior device from almost every perspective.

I'm not taking this change in my perspective lightly; it's a fact of life that working in Education I must be familiar with multiple OSes fairly intimately, and must test extensively with them to make sure what happened last month doesn't happen again. I've now got a Wubi install of Ubuntu on my laptop alongside Vista, a Mac under my desk on the KVM (I'm typing this from it), as well as my desktop Vista box. I'm not getting caught with my pants down again.

*grumble grumble* Well... I guess if you're going to plead "Self Defense" I'll have to let you off the hook ... Just don't start liking it.

I don't have a PDA, nor to I intend on getting one. My cell phone is just that ... a phone. And the batteries will keep it going for 3 days on a single charge. This to me...is good.

Back in the day I did a lot of street racing, and I built custom harleys. The only adage kept most holy above all others was the three F's: Form Follows Function. So everything must work perfectly every time and if it wasn't intimately involved in making the bike go fast, or stop on a dime ... It got tossed in the shit can.
