Ha! My first Newt Wasn't!
Well, wasn't a Newt, really...
It was a Motorola Marco. Complete with wireless
service for almost a year (transferred the account to
a 120 a year after the Marco) I was a bit taken aback
by the weird battery that the Marco took and the fact
that while wireless, the battery didn't last very long
at all...and the weird door covering the screen
and...well, there were a lot of things I didn't really
care for on the Marco, that's why I got a 120 1.3 I
quickly upgraded to OS 2 and promptly fell in
long-term love with the device. I played around with a
Tarpon for a few months, but that ruggidized case
makes an already big device positivly huge! I had an
oportunity to carry around a Grouper for a week as
well! So, in reality, the first three Newts I ever saw
weren't even Newts! But I recognized potential when I
saw it and once I saw OS2.0, I never looked back!
