It's funny how I remember all these model numbers of gadgets I use to have. My first and only palm other then several Treos' was the M105.
 
I uaed to have an i730, too. It was the biggest tech disappointment I'd ever experienced. It cost me over $500. I thought it would be so good, and it sucked.

Ironically, the iPhone was the exact realization of everything I thought the i730 was going to be (and more).

Also, the Razr. I think the Razr V3 is the greatest "pure cellphone" ever made. There are times I wish I still had one, when all I want to carry with me is a phone. Not a smartphone, just a phone. So thin, so light, a great piece of tech.
 
Yep. Right there with you.
Newton, Palm III, Palm V, Sony Clie, HP iPaq, Motorola Q, iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, Motorola Droid... iPad.

Absolutely

I miss the lightness of the razr.
