The author's dedication is impressive: "The phone runs Palm OS 5. It doesn’t understand Unicode. Of course, it has no idea what an “emoji” is. When you send it a text message that has one character outside of the printable ASCII range, it freaks out and corrupts the whole message. It doesn’t have Wifi of any kind. It doesn’t even connect to the Sprint’s 2G EV-DO/1xRTT network (because the data provision server is long dead). In short, it has no easy way to connect to the Internet at all. In order to get the thing to connect to the Internet, I had to fucking emulate a Dial-up Modem over Bluetooth using a Raspberry Pi." Google's support is probably just a bunch of old APIs and test suites -- comparatively easier to keep working.
