Had one. Brilliant software. Horrible battery life. Analog cellular meant glacially slow internet access. I loved it and hated it people looked at me like I was from mars (might not have been the phone). It was the Google Glass of its time in some ways. Went right from the Simon to the Palm Treo.

Interesting, I hadn&#x27;t heard about that. I was expecting to see a corporate version of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_%28game%29" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Simon_%28game%29</a>

Turns out Simon lost due to poor memory. ;)
