Otherwise... LONG LIVE THE NEWTON! 🙂 it would be neat if what you are getting had the original box and paperwork, now that would be collectable! 🙂

 

[question fear]

but can it get sim cards?

Yes but it wont work in the USA it looks like. If you're looking for something fun to dick around with the newton should be fine, but you're not going to get an amazing experience out of it. And it looks like that internet card won't work well unless you are overseas.

See from their FAQ:

Q: FirstFone and Internet?
A: Yes! All data, fax and voice services supported! SMS requires special software, so does making/receiving calls. For Newton Internet Enabler and Fax it is enough to choose the FiFo Driver on your Newton's configuration application!

Q: What countries does it work in?
A: I only know of a 900MHZ version, that means countries with GSM cellular networks with service providers that offer services in the 900MHZ range and data/fax services can handle a Newton/FirstFone combination. (Throughout Europe, Asia, Far East and Africa this is the common frequency. There is no 1800MHZ version, so it does not work in this networks, as it does not work in US GSM compatible networks (they work in the 1900MHZ frequency range).
