I think this is a MessagePad 120 which had the hinges on top. Pretty sure they've modified the screen a bit

@cypnk that looks like Newton UI in the background but kinda slightly cropped? Weird, but idk what the 2000's screen looked like, I only used an OMP

@noiob Yeah, it definitely looks like they've modified the UI a bit. I think to make the actual communication stuff appear nicer on screen
