Summary: I was recently asked how many PDAs and mobile phones I have owned since I started using them in 1997 and discovered there were 90 that I could remember. This doesn't even count all the review units I used for 2 weeks to 30 days throughout the years too. Take a walk down memory lane and see how many of these devices you remember using too.

I had An Ipaq1910

It was awesome, I read many books and even played age of empires on it. And it was really reasonably priced...

I thought the HP take over was closer to the iPaq H5400 release. Remember the iPAQ Pocket PC Phone that never came out?

I am somewhat surprised that you didn't have the HTC 3120. I gave up my MPx200 for one of them and had it for two years. The only negative thing I found with it was it was not as rugged as the MPx200. My favorite thing about it was it's small form factor and light weight. It also had a great screen.

RE: Apple iPhone 3G (Image Gallery: Matthew Miller's mobile device history,

A Clie UX50! I had such good memories with it. I used one through college (and scoffed at those who lugged big notebooks in the process). It (along with my cellphone via a Bluetooth link) gave me access to the internet just about anywhere. It was also my MP3 player, note taker, camcorder, camera, and later it became my video player too. Too bad it's battery eventually gave up the ghost and now it's pretty much a expensive paperweight that sits next to my Media Center PC (thank you so much for making a device with irreplaceable batteries, Sony!).

I also have a iPaq H1940. Mom gave it to me upon graduation since my Clie's battery by then could only hold 10 minutes of charge. I didn't use it much simce it was seriously lacking in features, but maybe that would change sometime.

As for the HTC TyTN, heh, I still use one. Got it a year and a half ago and it pretty much singlehandedly replaced the Clie, the iPaq and my old cellphone.
