I am currently working on video about using the palm treo 700wx in 2025, stay tuned for a few early peeks at what will be in the video.

But later ones were a lot more integrated like the palm treo 700wx I mentioned earlier, the only sign of this is a menu option to turn the phone part of the device on or off to save battery, and that if you take it apart, the phone part is a separate module that can be removed or replaced.

The early implementations of this were quite strange, more 2 devices that were bolted together, like this Nokia 9000 RAE-N1, which has 2 processors, 2 screens, and each half could operate entirely independent of the other. (picture courtesy of www.nokiamuseum.net/nokia-9000--...)

No, not that old, a little newer than that.
This is a Palm treo 700wx.
It is a business smartphone from 2005.
but what does business smartphone mean?
