What a great topic. I have always been in love with handhelds, ever since I was literally a child. I remember begging my mom for one of those little digital diaries they sold in toy stores back when I was 11 or 12. They looked like little folding calculators, they had little chiclet qwerty keyboards & monochrome one-line displays, and you could enter a sentence or 2 per diary entry. I had a blue hello kitty one & I used it for years. That's what really started my love affair with handhelds in general. I remember drooling over that ancient Casio Cassiopeia monster when it first came out, and that;s what got me wanting a full-blown PDA. Years passed without me being able to afford one, until one miraculous day in 2005 when CompUSA was stupid enough to give me a line of credit. I got me an HP iPaq hx4705. That thing was the balls. VGA screen, dual card slots, trackpad, 600-some-odd mhz processor, VERY nice. I liked it a lot, but it didn't really awaken any tender feelings inside me for WM cause I had always been a hardcore Palm fan. I had used Palm PDAs & Treos since 2001. I ended up charging a PPC-6700 on that same line of credit soon after buying the iPaq. I absolutely hated that phone & it turned me off WM for a long time. Now that I look back, it was WM5 that I hated, not the device itself. Flash forward to October 2008- when I bought a Mogul off Craigslist out of sheer curiosity. THAT was the one device that captured my heart & got me hooked on PPCs. It had a custom ROM already on it, and I was astounded at what all it could do. I felt like that young girl with her digital diary again. The rest is history, I got hooked & I don't think I'll ever lose interest!
