My Exec is still going strong, all it needs is a new battery!

Yes, most HTC manufactured models I've owned have taken a thrashing and still kept going for a long time [the ipaq 6365 and blue angel being the exceptions].

was the blue angel the very first XDA?  Mine still boots, but only when plugged into the mains as the battery died long since.

Haha, the 2.5mm headphone jack was not befitting the devices audio ability, and ultimately via adapters sticking out a mile and such, the reason for broken ports on both of mine

I agree that the 2.5mm jack was not good, but to be fair everything else WM had 2.5mm at the time the Orbit 2 came out.  The 3.5mm started appearing very soon after.  I had a succession of adapters, at least 4, some broke and I lost 1 or maybe even 2.  Adapters of any description are a pain.

The Blue Angel was the XDA II; the first XDA was the Wallaby!

The Harrier was a CDMA blue angel...also sold with GSM through vodafone as imate pda2k, the third device to be released with a phone and had the portrait sliding keyboard that was good for nothing.
3rd model released after the wallaby 1st[CDMA Falcon where I am] and the XDAII 2nd, which was an imate pocket pc for me.
The Falcon and XDAII were amazingly robust, just gave my XDAII away about a year ago, extremely old battery, and apparently still goes for a little bit, although the syncing connector was pretty temperamental, I miss getting a free dock with newer devices, but don't miss the connector
