Welcome to the Obsolete Pocketable Computing!

Everything about early days of pocketable computing, before the world surrendered to Apple/Google duopoly, goes here. Cellphones, PDAs, and palmtops are welcome! Let's celebrate the diversity of mobile operating systems!

  1. Be kind and respect each other
  2. No spam, no NSFW
  3. This community is dedicated to obsolete pocketable devices, such as cellphones, PDAs, and palmtops that run unsupported operating systems. Early versions of Android and iOS are also welcome. For questions about modern Android and iOS(iPadOS) harware and/or software please refer to related communities.
