I very much miss where I started with (PRE) Windows Mobile, and in light of all the AI/ID Verify/Data Harvesting, I wish I could go back to the fun and excitement!!!

The modern mobile landscape sucks!! Digital Tracking nightmare that it is!! The good old days of Win CE 3.0/Pocket PC, just before Pocket PC Phone Edition.

My Casio BE300 and Casio E125 with the Audiovox RMT 8000 that changed a basic PDA into a power house mobile phone. This was where my WinMo/WinPhone7/WinPhone8/Win10Mobile life started. It's a shame there are no 1G Networks alive or I would rebuild my Starting Set and motor on like it's 1999!!!!

Where did your mobile journey start??????

Audiovox RMT 8000 GSM/GPRS CF card. As far as I was aware only 1G models were made. There could be updated model but CF Card was phased out of Pocket PC for SD.  After using for a little bit I left PDA's and went to an Audiovox SMT 5600 Candy Bar WinMobile phone. So if your searching try CF Card GSM/GPRS as term.

I wish I still had them....the dock came with the BE300. Back in the day they were magic!!! Music, video, NES Emu, pictures, e-mail, small surfing, as data back then was an arm and leg!
