Re: PDA Cell phones
Gil,
Your best choices would be the Kyocera 7135 or the Treo 600. The Treo 600
is a little bit smaller than the 6035, but uses a thumbboard instead of
graffiti. The 7135 is a clamshell style using graffiti for input.
If you plan on using the PDA functions a lot, and especially if you need to
do a lot of text input, the Treo is the way to go. The 7135 is more
phone-centric.

Re: PDA Cell phones
I just realized that Sprint doesn't carry the 7135. The Samsung i500 is
very similar to it.

Sigh, once again, the 7135 is not available from Sprint PCS.
If you want to upgrade from the 6035 to a better Palm phone, you have a
choice:
Treo 600:
Positives: 24M RAM, SD Memory slot, Palm OS 5, color display
Negatives: No graffiti (it's all thumbboard), power and space wasted
on a camera of useless resolution, no voice recognition, candybar format
fails to afford any protection to the screen
Samsung SPH-i500:
Positives; 16M RAM, Palm OS 4, color display, clamshell format
Negatives: no slots for flash RAM, no speakerphone

Forgot one option:
Switch to Verizon to get a Kyocera 7135.
Their plans are, unfortunately, more expensive for data users.

No, just that either phone has more than the 8M of a 6035.
Yeah, I shouldn't have bothered to list the amount of RAM as a positive
or negative...

You missed a major disadvantage of the Samsung i500 and the primary reason I
am avoiding this phone. It does not have an external display so you can see
caller ID, signal strength, battery life, talk time, etc when the phone is
closed.
I can' believe that in 2004 there is a clamshell phone without an external
display!!!

Agreed, the external display would be nice. But I love the SPH-i500
anyway! It's actually smaller and fits in the pocket better than the
Treo-600. Plus, it has a dedicated phone keypad and is a clamshell.
Thumboard, more memory, faster CPU, newer OS, SDIO card, speakerphone,
external display -- all would be nice, but for now the nothing beats
the i500 for my personal taste.
Oh -- here's an important advantage of the i500. It's one of the last
Vision-enabled phones which ships with the ability to be used as a
high-speed wireless modem for a laptop. Doing so technically violates
the Vision TOS, which is why Sprint is artificially limiting newer
phones like the Treo600. Too bad. Whenever the marketing people
artificially limit technology, it's generally a bad thing for
everyone, including the company doing it.

That's news to me. In what way is the Treo 600 limited?
Are you saying that newer Vision phones can't be used a a modem for
a laptop? If so, I'll be looking for another provider when my current
Vision phone wears out.

The treo can be used as a modem with software called PDANet.

True -- third party software can be used. Which is why I said, "ships
with." That said, using it as a modem is OK as long as you "pay for
the minutes" and run it at low speed (48kbps?) by dialing directly
into a modem on the other end (at your company, ISP, etc.). However,
if you go for a high-speed Vision connection using #777, you're
technically violating the TOS.
