List the handhelds/PDAs/Smartphones you've owned

[sigamy]

OK, I've got too much time on my hands...But, over the years I've owned so many handheld devices, I thought it would be cool to list them out now that I own the best handheld ever. Let's see your list.

1998 Apple Newton MessagePad 100 (OMP)
1999 Apple Newton MessagePad 130: backlight screen and enough heap to run TCP/IP stack

2000 Apple Newton MessagePad 2100: awesome machine, with keyboard

2000 Tandy Zoomer: GEOS with Grafitti software, before Palm made hardware

2000 Texas Instruments Avigo PDA: Palm look-a-like
1999-2001 Palm V, Palm Vx, Handspring Visor Prism, Compaq iPaq: these were all purchased by my employer for work.

2002 Sony Clie N-610: color hi-res screen on Palm OS
2004 Sony Clie TJ25

2004 Sony Clie TH55: best pure PDA ever. WiFi, hi-res+, virtual Grafitti, Clie Organizer software with drag & drop.

2007 Apple iPhone: best handheld ever. Phone/internet/iPod.

Treo 300
Sharp Zaurus
Palm Tungsten C
Treo 650
TMO Sidekick
BlackBerry Pearl
iPhone

iPhone wins hands down as my favorite.

[MacUser1]

Palm III
Palm m505
Dell Axim X31
BlackBerry Pearl
Apple iPhone

So far, the iPhone has been the best at meeting my needs.

[dr_lha]

Palm III
Palm IIIxe (after someone stole my Palm III)
Sony Clie T615C.
Sony Clie PEG-TH55.

I stopped bothering after that because I tended to use my cellphone/iPod more often to get calendars/address book stuff.

My iPhone is on order. ;)

[ricgnzlzcr]

I've had an ipaq 1940, a tapwave zodiac, a blackberry 7250, a blackberry 8703e, and now the iphone. Now if only I could get a few real games on the iphone I'd be a happy camper.

[meerkats]

PDA's:

Palm III
Palm Vx
Sony Clie PEG-N710C

Mobile Phones:

Sony T68i
Sony T610
Motorola V600
Motorola RAZR

I always wanted an integrated device. I have tried/considered devices, like:

Kyocera 7135 (eek)
Sony P800/P900
Motorola A768i
Motorola A780
Motorola A1200
Palm Treo

Losers all. Now, I carry and iPhone. :)

[jemeinc]

Treo 650

BlackBerry 8700

Audivox SMT5600

It's funny because even though the other phones had 3G, I never used the internet on them because it was terrible.. The supposedly "crippled" iPhone with Edge really does the internet much better , IMO..

Each phone had it's share of strengths and weaknesses, but so far I prefer the iPhone over the others- even though it's definitely NOT perfect..

I'm selling my BB stock based on this thread

5 out of 8 former BB owners so far.

I guess I count myself to make it 6 out of 9.

The only reason that I had one is because the company I'm working for this summer gives one to all of their interns. I'd imagine that I might still use a BlackBerry when I get into the workforce, unless Apple (or Visto for that matter) create a workable alternative.

[siurpeeman]

i had a palm pilot. i can't remember which model it was, but i think it was the second iteration. i also had a palm m515 before i gave up on pdas altogether. too much of a hassle. i just want my contacts, calendars and email with me. i don't need the ability to edit documents so much, so the iphone suits me just fine.

It was awesome for playing nes, snes, and gameboy games. Great pda but I really never got used to the Palm OS so much. It was a lifesaver though when my ipod mini died for those long walks on campus a few years ago.

If you look at the post (click the blue arrow next to your name in the sig), it takes you to the original post after which I told you I was going to use it in my sig. Like I need your permission to showcase your awesomeness... ;)

[KauaiBruce]

Wow. I forgot I had some of those until I saw the lists.

2 Newtons
Casio of some type
First Palm
2 Compaq iPaq's
Samsung i730 - liked but heavy and battery was going

HP Travelers Companion. Love this because it is GPS with full Windows Mobile os. Bought it for my upcoming Europe trip. May not have if I knew iPhone would have google maps but it WILL keep us from getting lost on the streets of London and Amsterdam. My partner will use this in the car after the trip.

iPhone (if the Apple store ever catches up)

[whooleytoo]

No real PDAs..

Nokia 7650
Nokia 6600
Sony Ericcson P900
Nokia 6680
Nokia N70

IIRC, all of which had mail & web functionaltiy. None of which I used much as the screens are too small, the UI too slow, or in the case of the P900, the stylus and tiny buttons too finicky.

[pr5owner]

It ceases to amaze me why some of you folks would want to "chop" Apples phone and turn it into some frequently crashing, hacked up excuse for a handheld.

you dont seem to realize that hacked roms run faster and MORE stable than official releases.

im running a hacked WM6 rom on my tytn and i STILL have not had it even freeze up yet. the crappy latest official dopod rom was freezing every 2-4 days.

this is the same with my install of Beast XP for my desktop, ive ran all flavors of XP but Beast XP is by far the most stable, smallest, fastest xp ive ever ran. again, still has not crashed, bluescreened, done anything weird in 6mo.

also TONS of goodies/utilities are included with hacked roms. i even have a task manager and reg editor with the black majik wm6 rom.

[cbh]

It's a damn addiction:

Palm III, Vi
Garmin iQue 3600
Casio Cassiopeia Fiva (tablet)
Compaq iPaq 3650

Samsung A900M
Sony Librie
iPhone

[lavrishevo]

:rolleyes:I went from the the 8125 to the 8525 and am very happy. I totally age that the iPhone has an awesome interface but major lack of basic professional needs. I hope gen. 2 has these features but i can not see that will have HSDPA (high speed data) with the battery soldered inside the phone. I would not mind another manufacture to use a screen as nice as the iPhone but run windows mobile or whatever. Just want word, excel, good mail, good browser, and HSDPA. Is that to much to ask for?

[pr5owner]

It's a damn addiction:



yes it is.. and whats worse is probably most of the pda's out there have accessories up the wazoo, we need a support group for this stuff

[pr5owner]

no, you just described every newer symbian/WM phone out there. if you dont like the interface get a new one, if you dont like the OS, flash it with an OS you cooked with your own preferences. dont like PIE or the built in one? download another browser and install it. there is litterally 10-20 diffrent WM browsers avalible, MS and Opera has TWO each!!!
