Oh, I go way back. I bought a Handspring Visor (translucent blue) on the first day they went on sale. It changed my life. I had spent years trying every kind of calendar/reminder/contacts system ever invented. Now, finally, I was generally on time and knew how to contact people. I took it everywhere. On the day the Handspring Visor Prism went on sale, I bought that one. I had to have color. I passed down the old one to my wife.

My next PDA was the Sony CLIE NX-60. I bought it...you guessed it...the first day it hit the stores. This purchase was all about the PDA goodness combined with Wi-Fi, a lot more memory, and that really cool thumbwheel on the side. The Prism got passed down to the wife. I still use the CLIE at home every day, to read the New York Times, Salon, and other publications via AvantGo. It's great for late night reading in bed, and in the -ahem- smallest room in the house.

A year ago, I got what I really wanted: A PDA combined with a phone. On the first day they showed up in the then-Cingular stores, I bought my AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925). Sure, it's a little big and a little heavy, but it's a fully-featured PDA married to a quad-band GSM phone with 3G, Wi-Fi, and GPS. I was over the moon! I still am. Me and my Tilt have been all over the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Greece, Russia, and China. I've tricked it out with a new UI (Spb Mobile Shell), dozens of apps (paid and freeware), plenty of tweaks (KaiserTweak), and it syncs with my Google Calendar (via OggSync), which syncs with my Outlook calendar at work and Plaxo.

Could it get any better? Well, I've spent far too many hours at the AT&T store playing with the Fuze. It's got all the Tilt goodness in a svelte, sexy little form factor.

If I don't win one here, it'll be my Christmas present to me.
