well, thats amusing. i've gone through a fair few phones. after my w810i died, i spent a long time looking for a phone that would be unique. i have a practical nature and thought it wouldnt be so bad having a retro phone, i had my eyes set on that sony but they kept selling for over 20.. i bet its a brilliant phone at heart.

to conclude, i don't have a favourite phone, because theyre all rubbish for one reason or another... no matter how "helpful" they can be... >.<

Yeah, the handspring visor, I had a load of those.. kept breaking them because they came with a screwdriver in the stylus! :P

Had to import them too because they weren't available in the UK until a while after they were launched :(

i can't remember what it was called, but back in... 2000 perhaps... i had a Handspring (palm pilot clone) with a Voicestream (bought out by T-Mobile later) phone attachment. man that was great - it turned my monochrome palm clone into a GSM mobile phone with completely integrated CSD services for email, web, etc. eventually they enabled HCSD and brought my connection speed up to 9600 baud!

back then i was dialing into an ISP with the service, as this proved faster and cheaper than the available data services from Voicestream (that changed over time and i eventually used Voicestream's data directly).

yup. i had the precursor to the iPhone 7 years (or so) before it came out. on a side note, i also bought the Sprint version of this Handspring add-on, but never used it. i only bought it because it came with a bigger battery and that battery was compatible with my Voicestream device... i still have the sprint version tucked away in a closet, but sadly i've misplaced (or gave away for all i know) the GSM variant :(
