I had a number of PalmPilots over the years, I loved those little devices! I also remember using a keyboard dock with one of them to take notes during meetings.

I'm pretty sure I had a PalmPilot Professional, a Palm V, and a Tungsten T (which slid open). The Palm V was easily my favourite, it was a very good looking device that worked very well. In comparison, the Tungsten T was somewhat clunky.

I got the (old) Treo 650 (or sinilar) from my father as he bought a new one back when I was a teenager. I was the only one with a handheld at school (I was maybe 13/14 years old), and I had a funny discussion with teachers about task management on a handheld (they obviously were overwhelmed by a teenager consisting tasks belong in a handheld, not a physical notebook).

I think it still was one of the best handhelds ever produced.

    Worked issued me a Windows Mobile based Palm Treo (probably a 700wx), but I'm honestly not sure. It was decidedly not great, but mostly did the job. It was eventually replaced by a Blackberry of some kind which worked a lot better.

    The Treo 650 was the seemingly perfect blend of a color IIIc with tactile keyboard, stylus, cell phone capabilities and good ol PalmOS.

I had the Vx with foldable keyboard dock. That keyboard was way better than a lot of notebook keyboard nowadays.

Slightly amusing - you only had about 5 keyboard layouts to chose from, and one of them was Dvorak (which I'm using).

I eventually wanted to carry only one device, and went for the Treo line of phones, which I stuck to until 2010.
