I used a Palm treo up until about 3 years ago, and used to browse HN quite often. My treo was modified and upgraded I should say :) beleive it or not, some poor soul actually stole it, probably not knowing it would be worth more on ebay as an obscure item than at a pawn shop.

Yeah, fellow former Treo user here. I loved that thing.

When people talk about how Steve Jobs invented the smartphone, I used to say, "but but but..." Now, though, I just sigh and nod like I'm still listening to them.

I hoped Nokia E6 would come close to the Palm Treo. The shape is about the same but slimmed down and without the antenna. And hardware is good. But the software is somehow disappointing (I expected more from a descendant of Psion). If I recall, the to-do lists on Palm were so much nicer, for instance.
