My father used to own one of these smart phones. It was huge and very cool at the time. The fact that it resembled a big phone but could be opened up with a full keyboard was fantastic.
The screen at the time was monochrome and sometimes I prefer that to the color screens of today. It helps to keep me focused and it has less clutter. Sometimes, I wonder why we need colour screens. Do clients really feel inclined to see pictures on a smartphone/pda or would they much prefer to view it on a printed medium.
The applications included your usual notes, contacts, world time but no spreadsheet. The apps didn't require loading. Just press and go. It was a joy to use and synced very well.
It had a long battery life and was in general very reliable. Of course, it just had one problem.
It was just too big.
