Greeting all, I just got back to the Nokia Linux path so found this site and joined up.
I bought a number of devices either because they were cheap or novel but just listing the ones I used for a while or tried hard to like.
Radio Shack PC-2 (Sharp PC-1500) for many years.
TRS-80 model 100
back to the PC-2
HP-95LX
HP-100LX
HP-200LX
IBM Thinkpad 110
back to the 200LX
N770
back to the 200LX
HP 320
back to the 200LX
HP Jornada 620
back to the 200LX
Last weekend I bought a large box full of Nokia goodness: 900,800,770, etc. in the hopes that the 900 will FINALLY replace my aging fleet of HPLXs. It's a fun toy but it's unlikely to be a full replacement. The keyboard, calculator, and such on the HP are just too good. I am hoping to at least use a N800 or N900 for some browser stuff and perhaps I can get IR working so I can use my HP as a terminal.
When I sold my 770, I fully intended to buy an 810 but it just never happened.
I'm actually surprised to not see more LX-ers here.

They we waaaay over my budget when they were hot but I treated myself to one about three months ago. It is a beautiful device.perhaps I can get IR working so I can use my HP as a terminal.
No idea about the N800. Does it have an IR?I'm actually surprised to not see more LX-ers here.
1 x HP-LX90, 1 x HP-LX200. I prefer the 90LX myself.

Or "in spite of" if you'd prefer that. I just wanted to say that the resitive touchscreen is "worn out" after some years. Is that incorrect English?

Nothing against your English. It is your dislike of resistive screens that I find questionable

I have never experienced the N900's resistive touchscreen though. Is probably better
