I got one that was on clearance at the local office supply store. I love
it. I bought it more out of "oh, here's something I should buy while it's
cheap" and haven't really explored it beyond the game "Phat Cash".

You really need to get two to play with the ultra-cool features, such as
setting up your profile and the profile of a romantic interest so that
when two Cybiko's that have matching profiles come within proximity of
each other they set off alarm bells.
