March 1998, Palm III (160x160, doubled to more closely resemble physical size):

June 2009, Palm Pre (480x320):

You be the judge. The cell phone radio is certainly nice to have on the Palm Pre, but the Palm III could last for a month of daily usage without recharging. The Palm III was also faster as the UI and hardware were very close to each other, whereas modern software tends to ride on babelesque towers of abstraction.
