Kyocera QCP-6035 Smartphone

Pros: all in one device
Cons: weight, form factor, backlight

10/25/01I was at Office Depot last week and was browsing the cell phone aisle. I saw this phone and then glanced at the price tag, assuming I would see a price range of around $400. Holy Cow! It's only $229 now! I'll take it! Whipped out my...

Pros: Palm PDA and cellphone in one
Cons: isn't tightly integrated

Although having a palm PDA embedded in the phone is nice, there's nothing wrong with carrying a palm AND a cell phone. What you get with this phone is mere convenience, nothing more.

The main problem with this phone is the Palm operating...

Pros: Combines phone, PIM, Fax, and Net all in one device.
Cons: None

I've been carrying a cell phone, Palm V, and a modem for the Palm for the past two years. I travel a lot and liked the amount of information I could get with that configuration, but was frustrated by the poor quality of the AT&T system and the OmniSky...

Pros: Palm and wireless phone in one unit. Wireless Internet access.
Cons: wish it were even smaller! Be careful, minutes go quickly while surfing!

Kyocera has come up with a winner in the 6035 Palm OS Smartphone. Imagine the functionality of a Palm VIIx wedded to a tri-band digital wireless phone, and you've got the 6035.
It's triband: it can make CDMA, PCS and analog phone connections, as...

Pros: A PDA and Phone all in one!
Cons: Big and clunky, anything BUT hassle-free.

What happens when you leave a Palm-Pilot, some scented candles, a little Marvin Gaye playing in the background, and Kyocera's uncanny knack for cell phones? The Kyocera QCP 6035 - All in one PDA-Cell Phone.

I have to admit, when I first...

Pros: PDA and phone, smaller than previous model, good reception
Cons: Expensive and still quite cumbersome

Palm meet phone, phone meet Palm. The first time these two got together--in Qualcomm's pdQ smart phone--the results weren't all that wonderful. But this time, Kyocera, which bought Qualcomm's phone division last year, has managed to combine the two in a...

Pros: Great idea: a Phone and PDA in one; no major problems
Cons: Small for a palm, large for a phone

I had read about the Kyocera Smartphone before I decided to purchase a cell phone and plan, but, I always thought it was out of my price range. But, when I actually visited the store, I noticed that it was on sale for about $100; making it cheaper than...

Pros: Palm OS, functionality, flexibility
Cons: BIG, not color, no expansion capability

I had a cell phone. I had a Palm OS PDA.

I loved the PDA, but found I didn't use it enough, because I simply would not carry both the phone and the PDA everywhere. Then it happened. My cell phone broke.

So, I picked up the...

Pros: Very versatile--full featured phone and email/web browser all in one at a good price.
Cons: Screen is hard to read. No protective cover.

If you live in a remote area without benefit of the newest Bluetooth technology but want portable internet and e-mail access, this phone is definitely for you. After looking at many handheld computers in local electronics stores and being told the...

Pros: Most comfortably sized PDA/phone combo.
Cons: Backlight is ok for phone functions, but useless for Palm apps.

I have resisted getting a PDA for some time because I didn't think it was worth the hassle of carrying another device and I didn't think I would use it enough to justify the cost. Then I found the Kyocera Smartphone. I've tried some of the newer PDA...

Pros: PDA functionality/Cell phone in an "acceptably small" package. Great Battery life
Cons: "Acceptably small" means bigger than would make most happy...jog dial is moderately annoying.

I bought the Kyocera Smartphone because I, like many others, frequently use both a PDA and a cell ph ...

Pros: Everything you need is in this phone ! Good battery life, lot of wonderful tools.
Cons: Perhaps a little bit bit but it is the compromise with the Palm !

When I receive this phone, I was very anxious to discover the new functionalities of the Palm. What is really great is the interfaces from the Palm and the phone. "Minutes" installed (a free software. It will read your call history log and calculate your...

Pros: Power management is great. PalmOS with real web power.
Cons: Ugly Case that cost extra. No expansion module slot.

I got my Kyocera SmartPhone from Verizon about three weeks ago and I just have to say that it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I have yet to hit a web site that I can not access using the Endora browser that came bundled with the...

Pros: Great idea, Palm OS was an excellent addition
Cons: Poor design, horrible contacts

When we heard the Kyrocera was coming out with a wireless phone with a fully functional Palm-style organizer in it, we were both, excited and worried.

Excited that someone actually made a wireless phone, with the Palm OS built into it,...

Pros: Looks nice, very convenient, a Palm Pilot and phone in one, real Web Browser!
Cons: No carrying case or accesories included, despite the hefty price 549.99!

I must say that I am thrilled with this phone, besides the fact that its a Palm Pilot as well! It has all the features of a Palm, it even has indiglo back light.

The best thing about it is it's internet service. This is as real as it gets...
