I still have mine; it was my first cell-phone. Very innovative for the time. But shortly there after I picked up other phones. One innovation was the ability to connect one of my later Palm (Palm iiic) devices to a serial cable to connect to a phone. I was able to check e-mail on the go! This was about 2 years before you could do this with a Blackberry (phone version of Blackberry).
