I had one of these and I think I bought it from Staples, Office Depot, or whatever the predecessor to this was. I can't remember the exact timing but I picked up an IBM Simon around the same time.

Both were half baked products that ended up in a drawer after a couple of weeks. The EO had lousy battery life and not as good as pen and paper for note taking which is why I wanted it.

I had various devices over that time frame which included the Palm Pilot, Sony Magic Link, all of the Newtons, a Sharp Zaurus, and so on. The one that really stuck was the Psion MX5 as I could actually touch type on it.

The person who sent along the EOs also sent a Simon. I couldn't get that working either. Sigh.

If it's any consolation you're really not missing much!
