Wow, never thought I'd see Enfora mentioned in a thread in 2024. I worked there for a year or so, supporting those early GPRS cards.

I remember sending ICQ messages to friends while sitting in traffic on I-635. It was kinda unbelievable to be online in a car

I never had the WiFi sled, but I remember feeling this way when I used my 650 in the car, plugged into the aux audio input, to stream 128kbps music from Shoutcast servers via some media player I've since forgotten (it aped the Winamp interface, but wasn't a port if I remember correctly).

This was at a time when folks I knew were getting XM radio, but for the cost of the data plan I was already paying for (only a $10/mo addon for unlimited!) I could listen to hundreds of stations. I even ran a Shoutcast server from home so I could listen to my music collection on shuffle as a sort of bespoke radio station.

Enfora was great.

GPRS not so much! It did give a taste of the future and a good headstart to think about things to learn to recognize the iPhone/App Store moment.

I had the Enfora too (well, still do). I really miss Palm, in my opinion the UX was far superior to what we have on smartphones today.
