YES! i used to have one but this is about 10 years ago (or more) i didnt have any memory cards but i did have the parallel data cable. It took AGES to transfer even the smallest file!

it was great because it had dos built into it and i think the screen has CGA compatable, you could run SOME pc programs, quite a few didnt seem to fir on the screen properly.

oh and another cool thing was the inbuilt tone dialer! you could type in a phone number then hold the speaker upto the phone and then hit enter and it would dial the number for you! (i thought it was good anyway...)
