That one is just like my iPAQ 4150 at home.
I would use it for backup, if you already have another windows mobile device. Use a software such as PIM Backup (if that runs on WM2003 - I remember compatibility with Windows Mobile software being a big problem. After having just come from Palm OS, where everything is forward and reverse compatible with practically anything, it was a new realization to come to that Windows Mobile isn't like that, especially between 2003 and v5), and have the device ready and synced just in case your "modern" device fails, you'll have a fallback.
You could also just use it as an extra calendar or organization tool. WM2003 Runs Skype surprisingly well, but since you don't have WiFi, getting fast enough network access may very well be a chore, since you might only be able to use ActiveSync.
But, I'd say as backup (I might bust out my 4150 and try PIM Backup), a calendar (like the other people suggested), or maybe even skype (in fact, if you're
really lucky, some software (like FRING) supports Bluetooth headsets, and if your computer is stowed neatly under a desk, you could keep the thing docked, connected, and Fring/Skype open, and the headset on your ear.
Good Luck!
