Not a single reference given. WP:SPA user created this page. No importance asserted. Reads more like WP:ADVERT, and includes sections written in a how-to tone. — Timneu22 · talk 21:23, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Note: CIDCO Inc is up for CSD; this article (being a product and not a corporation) cannot qualify as speedy. — Timneu22 · talk 21:24, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
And yet it got speedy deleted anyway. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 01:26, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Keep. Needs a tidy-up but the product pre-dates a similar concept, the Amstrad E-m@iler, which has its own article. Eddie.willers (talk) 23:04, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Speedy delete, spam, one of several spam articles being created by this user. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 01:25, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Keep - I don't see how this is spam. the product isn't available for sale any more. The article cites one article about the product. There are many reviews of the product for a a wide variety of sources: [http://books.google.com/books?id=cV4EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA46&dq=Cidco+MailStation&hl=en&ei=ub5JTICEFc-jnQfspeHjDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CEQQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=Cidco%20MailStation&f=false], [http://books.google.com/books?id=5CoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA98&dq=Cidco+MailStation&hl=en&ei=ub5JTICEFc-jnQfspeHjDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CEkQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=Cidco%20MailStation&f=false], [http://books.google.com/books?id=TWYEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA51&dq=Cidco+MailStation&hl=en&ei=XL9JTLWLJ8__nAezyqTjDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Cidco%20MailStation&f=false], [http://books.google.com/books?id=KsQDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA40&dq=Cidco+MailStation&hl=en&ei=XL9JTLWLJ8__nAezyqTjDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CEYQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=Cidco%20MailStation&f=false], [http://books.google.com/books?id=74qQNsy2aCMC&pg=PA55&dq=Cidco+MailStation&hl=en&ei=XL9JTLWLJ8__nAezyqTjDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CEsQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=Cidco%20MailStation&f=false], and [http://books.google.com/books?id=H2zSEiZ4DOMC&pg=PA14&dq=Cidco+MailStation&hl=en&ei=XL9JTLWLJ8__nAezyqTjDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CFUQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=Cidco%20MailStation&f=false] are just some. -- Whpq (talk) 16:16, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Keep per Whpq. Hobit (talk) 09:06, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Comment: the page has a link to the "purchase page" on Amazon. — Timneu22 · talk 13:04, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Reply - which I easily fixed by removing it. -- Whpq (talk) 13:22, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Keep. Links provided by User: Whpq demonstate that the product is notable. As the product is obsolete there should not be any spam concerns--Pink Bull 02:23, 30 July 2010 (UTC).
Keep, I guess. Whpq's refs are not overwhelming, but they are real. Not spam, as product is obsolete. Marginally notable. 03:38, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
