Selling my beloved IBM Simon because I'm strapped for funds. Found out my latest freelance work payment won't arrive in time to cover overdue bills. @%=!!! .... so this is urgent. For those not familiar with it, Simon is (apparently) the "first" smartphone. I hate the word "first" for computer history.... anyway this one is fully working, has a brand new battery (thanks to modern BatteriesPlus store -- they custom built it for me), two chargers, PC connection kit, original manual, and is generally in great condition. It needs a little bit of paint touch-up on the sealed battery case from where I had to open it and then epoxy it closed a couple of workshops ago (not meant to be user serviceable and the original batteries are no longer available.) Someday, this will be worth a LOT of money, when people realize how historic it is...... Please email me PRIVATELY with any offers. Not planning to eBay this because I don’t want to wait a week for payment and, honestly, I'd rather see it go to a good home. I was going to donate it to our museum one day. Reality intervened. :(
Ps. There is one on eBay right now for $3K new in box. Mine doesn't have the box, but I think having a brand new battery is more important. :) That price is probably too high anyway. Also forgot to mention that mine has a huge IBM/BellSouth sales/service manual which was never intended to be public.
