Has the mobile experience gotten less comfy over the years? I wish I could get a modern phone with a soft front lit gray-scale display.

Palm OS is way more "Jow Forums" than Windows CE to me, but I really like them both for their own strengths. CE was a much more advanced operating system but also felt more sluggish and unresponsive in general despite running on devices considerably faster on paper than their Palm/Sony/Handspring contemporaries.
I also feel like Palm OS has more in the way of on-device IDEs, compilers and interpreters too than CE does, the only really good language implementation on CE I've ever enjoyed using is Pocket Scheme, which I'm starting to think still isn't as good as LispMe even if it looks nicer.

the M100 series is ugly as fuck but in a rugged looking way that grows on you
unironically want to pick up an M125 for random bullshit, fastest AAA powered palm and basically a 33 MHz 68000 machine with a shitload of RAM and even more non-volatile storage that fits in your pocket

Fancy graphing calculator. Same software as a ti89.

False equivalence unless you're a mindless drone who only uses their phone for nothing but media consumption. A good high-resolution grayscale/e-ink device would be pretty kickass on power consumption and just fine for more information/communication-oriented users.
Adrian Miller
I've been contemplating getting an upgrade from the samsung evergreen to a nokia N95 but I'm not sure if it'll be worth it

Those where super expensive because of built in irda modem.

NEC P3. It was possible to switch it to scanner mode and listen in on (one side of) any other mobile conversations nearby.
Isaac Morris
I had cloned benefon forte nmt450, was so jelly that you burgers had phones like oki900 that could be easily cloned and worked as scanner, all in compact portable package. Never heard of nec p3 before.

Camden Mitchell
Not quite a burger. I lived in the UK at the time, which is basically the USA of yurop.

I assume this counts as a "mobile device".
It has a handle.
Adam Cook
still use one of these for DS emulation, even with the fucking shitty bloat that I can't get rid of because I can't root it it was still worth it
Angel Foster
Nice! Kids lost their shit when I whipped out Pokémon Emerald on it in 5th grade desu.
I personally think the joypads are underrated as hell. The precision to size ratio is insane. Hands down comfiest Minecraft experience desuka
Ayden Cooper
My guy! I was the most popular kid in my form for a week after I got this phone

I remember playing Pokemon Ruby on this fucker in high school. Then I upgraded to touch smartphones and enjoyable games on my phone are a thing of the past.

Is there anything cool I can do with it?
Zachary Nelson
I woulda hated you as I was stuck with my m100
Parker Murphy
As a WinMo user back in the day, Palm was absolutely better.
Jordan Martinez
I would still be using it too if the networks still supported it and it was unlocked. Hands down the best phone I’ve ever owned.
Owen Flores
PSN Power bitch (whatever the hell that meant)
Isaiah Price
Can confirm, got on the Palm train way too late.

Calm down Vlad.

My mom had one of those at some point. Writing anything on that keyboard was a fucking nightmare. The touch/sliding on the dpad was pretty cool though.

Same. Everybody had one of these where I lived as their first mobile phone.

The ringtone editor was really I had for entertainment when I was waiting for mum in the car.
Isaiah Ward
HotSync was great.
So much busywork, fuck once iPhones and shit came along helldesk budgets starting bottoming out.
Ryder Taylor
I never had a phone.
Tyler Morgan
This phone was amazing
Ian Lee
the Ti was the iPhone of calculators. It got you laid when you were able to show off blockdude and drugdealer to the chicas sitting left and right of your desk.
HP has a 2d/3d waifu button. It is /g approved.

Only thing Palm OS lacked was multitasking. It was still much more usable than wince.
Had Palm III then made a mistake of downgrading to iPaq 3760.
