As did Sprint and AT&T and probably just about every phone company in the world. (Sprint started with the Treo 300 in 2003.) They were huge. But it wasn't the iPhone that knocked them off their perch, it was Blackberry (which were also very nice phone/PDAs, aka smartphones). (Ironically, I don't see any entry for a T-Mobile specific Palm Treo?)

I still play a golf game on my Sprint Treo 700p ("p" stood for Palm OS as Palm was also selling a Sprint Treo 700w, "w" for Windows by then). I used to read on the Treo. I also owned/own(?) a Sprint Treo 300 and a Palm Centro, and, at one time, a couple other Palm PDA/phones (one was the Samsung SPH-i1500, a small flip phone with Palm OS and Graffiti input (instead of a keyboard) complete with a telescoping stylus – I may still have one of those around also). Also a Kyocera QCP-6035, which felt like holding a brick (which I think I sold shortly after getting it). Except for the Palms, these were all bought cheaply on eBay, after the Palms began their descent – I think I did use the Samsung SPH-i1500 on Sprint for a while though.
Sorry to ramble.
