I had a couple Windows Mobile/Pocket PCs. They were flawed, yet awesome in their own way. Early Android was clearly better, but sadly it's become a locked down spy fest. I'd love a new real "Pocket PC".

Good old times. My first Smartphone was the HTC Desire Z. Loved it :)
Do we have any community for vintage phones already?
I had a similar one that ran windows (CE maybe? I don't recall)
I loved my G2.
It's in my nightstand drawer now, plump from bad battery bloat. I ran it for 10 years as my bedside alarm clock. It ran a long gone app called NightClock.
bad battery bloat
We call that a "Spicy Pillow" sir
In thought the SMS said SUS and got really confused for a second
A friend of mine had the Droid.
At that point I was rocking the T Mobile Vario, which I believe was an HTC. It was, sadly, dog shit. Windows Mobile was not a fun time.
Windows Mobile did everything wrong. regarding the "mobile" aspect - lol
I had such a hard time with the HTC Diamond - it was super expensive at the time, so i really wanted to work with it.
Yeah, after this I had the Vario III, which was an HTC Kaiser. The phone was great (if somewhat underpowered), but WinMob was still clunky and shit.
My next phone after that was an iPhone 3GS, and I’ve been iPhone ever since.
Found memories: and the memories are French.
Oui
Nowadays, we don't even get keyboard covers for popular phones anymore.
I would love a Bluetooth keyboard cover like that for my s22
