My First Mobile
I remember back in 2002 when i received my first mobile device. A Palm Vx. Though I think it was a couple of years old, to me it was a world class device! Black and white screen (STILL can't beat those for battery life or visibility in the sun), 8MB of memory and a 20MHz processor. It's crazy because I still have the device complete with 56k modem sled, docking foldaway keyboard with case, and a hard case. Still works though the digitizer drifts a little more these days. I've turned it into an alarm clock/multi-device remote control when i ever do use it. Most of the time it just collects dust unless one of my newer fancier devices stops working. I was looking at the Vx docking station sitting here on my desk and wondering... who else out there still has their original mobile device? What was it? What do you use it for now?

Yes, I still have my first device, it was a Palm Zire 72 and I bought it in 2006. I had waited for about a year before I purchased it. I had to make sure before I laid out $150 if I would use it or not.
Note I said was, because I dropped it in the loo about 8 months later. Talk about panic!. I managed to get the water out and get it working about 80%, but the battery gave up the ghost. I purchased a replacement 2 months later. And since then I have upgraded to a Palm TX.
