Currently I have three Newts, OMP, German MP2100, US MP2100.
The US2100 became my main workhorse the day it arrived, I use it on campus
every day. Thanks again for Lextionary (which could be improved and
extended!), it saves the day. Every day.
The German 2100 is my bedside-Newt at this time. Obscene luxury, I know. I
use it to read, take down ideas at night, and as a second alarmclock.
It also jumps in whenever I happen to have some extended notes in German to
translate.
The OMP sits by the stationary phone, and is used as a notepad until the
batteries run out. Then it gives me this insulted look until I put in some
fresh ones.
If the Siemens Notephone would not be as incredibly ugly as it is, I would
get one of those to get rid of the battery problem.

The Newton isn't a "revolutionary" device, it's an "evolutionary"
device...it adapts!                        - from newtontalk.net
