Yea, that Clie (thanks for reminding me of the spelling btw) was great. It had a decent lithium battery (palms had alkaline batteries ant the time) and fit in my pocket as well as the early iPhones.
I ended up using the dock from the old Palm Pilot with a usb cord grafted on the end to download images from those ‘one time use’ digital cameras from Ritz.
I used a Symbian phone to find a cafe in Providence once while working there in winter 2005/6 or so. And got charged like $2 from Cingular for loading one yelp page listing. I was so cold, and had to shit so bad I didn’t care.
This dude’s never heard of Symbian or Blackberry I guess. Or Sony Ericsson and Nokia N*** phones.
My first smartphone was a Nokia running Symbian with a fold out QWERTY keyboard.
I actually loved It, except for the ridiculous paucity of compatible apps…
You leavin’ out Palm Trēo, punk?
Palm and Windows CE was it?
I actually had a palm pilot, then a Sony Clio for reading RSS feeds on the subway commute in the very early 2000s.
The original (best) Trēos were on PalmOS, but they did make some windows ones later.
The Sony Clié was a sexy beast.
