Taking a look at my old Palm IIIx – by Paul Lefebvre

I got the (old) Treo 650 (or sinilar) from my father as he bought a new one back when I was a teenager. I was the only one with a handheld at school (I was maybe 13/14 years old), and I had a funny discussion with teachers about task management on a handheld (they obviously were overwhelmed by a teenager consisting tasks belong in a handheld, not a physical notebook).

I think it still was one of the best handhelds ever produced.

The Treo 650 was the seemingly perfect blend of a color IIIc with tactile keyboard, stylus, cell phone capabilities and good ol PalmOS.

Worked issued me a Windows Mobile based Palm Treo (probably a 700wx), but I'm honestly not sure. It was decidedly not great, but mostly did the job. It was eventually replaced by a Blackberry of some kind which worked a lot better.
