You might be confusing my use of "still <have> the device" with "used in the last ten years". I don't even know if the thing will boot anymore. I'm not a collector, I just don't throw things away anywhere near as quickly as I should.
Free to a good home (as in, you won't just tie it in the backyard and never pay attention to it) if anyone has a hankering for an old HTC Advantage. Great machine in the day, I even edited Word docs on it (albeit, painfully), but I wouldn't let it anywhere near an Internet connection.
HTC made the best wince devices. The best thing about the platform was the built in handwriting recognition on every wince device regardless of manufacturer which was designed by the same develops who worked on the Apple Newton handwriting software. It was just more buried on some devices. Of course, Microsoft killed this with windows phone 7. Just a different era
It'll probably boot just fine, and yeah, I wouldn't take it online, but old hardware is like hobbits - difficult to daunt or kill. It's like the cell network wouldn't even connect (though if it is old enough it might).
