RE: Hmm
Also, I'd personally have very little use for 66mhz without any external expansion capacbilities, so it'd probably end up being a real battery drainer for the vast majority of users that didn't know about underclocking.

No External LCD? :(
I'm still almost 100% positive that this will be my next phone. I'll most likely be getting a new PDA that won't be running Palm OS, but I still want the POS datebook and address book.
That and i don't think you can pry Splash ID out of my hands just yet.
This is the perfect device for my needs. Giving me just enough PDA in my phone to make it useful. Love the fact that it's more phone than PDA. Way to go Samsung!
As a writer, there's no way i could have this be my main PDA. Low res screen and no expansion? No sir. But then again, i can't deal with a square screen on my PDA anymore either. Landscape all the way!
RE: No External LCD? :(
I500 and No Slot
RE: No External LCD? :(
RE: No External LCD? :(
Absolutely.
I want a big screen on a PDA, but not on my phone. Keep the PDA part simple. And for me *no* MP3 player. My iPod has spoiled me, so keep the size and the memory focused on phone-centric ability.
One almost *needs* an external LCD display, with the amount as the amount of phone spam grows. And I'd like to think that considerate users would check to see whose calling before they start talking at inappropriate times and places.
It looks like it's the verizon/Kyocera 7135 for me. In a different form factor, there's a Siemans that looks tres chic. I wish we could have "extension" phones. (Paying for a second phone, even at a reduced rate, is not an "extension" phone.

i500 vs 7135
Plus, I hear the i500 is significantly smaller. True?

RE: i500 vs 7135
Similar question to one posted above...can you take a CDMA phone and make it work on Sprint? (i.e., any chance of taking the i600 and using it with Sprint PCS Vision)

Hello Edward,
This is in response to your inquiry about the Kyocera 7135.
PCS is not supporting the Kyocera 7135, which is not compatible with PCS Vision service. However, the Samsung i500, which is very similar to the Kyocera device, will be available soon. The Samsung i500 is a dual-band/tri-mode device and features a color screen, and voice activated dialing/ voice memo. The i500 utilizes the Palm operating system and advanced PDA functionality and has the fastest Palm processor of any Sprint PDA. This PDA phone also will take advantage of our full suite of Vision services, including downloadable ringers, games and applications. Consider the Samsung i500 when looking for your next smart phone.
Thank you for contacting Sprint.

I sent this letter back to Stuart D. of Spint
Hello Stuart,
Thank you for your response. I know that Sprint will be sensitive to my needs. Will this phone (Samsung i500) sync with my Apple Macintosh and does it have the expansion card support and the MP3 as in the 7135? In addition it's important to me that I have a sync link to my Apple Macintosh computer running OSX palm software, as the Sprint Kyocera 6035 that I currently have does. I tried the i330 phone, however I had to return it to Sprint. It used the USB as a serial connection which does not work that way on the Apple and there wasn't a software fix path available. In addition the i330 wasn't designed to be held without touching the side buttons and unintentionally changing the settings. Thank you for considering these important features. As a board member on the Florida Macintosh User Group (FLMUG) here in Central Florida I will be pleased to inform the members that Sprint supports our very active community of Apple users.

i500 or Treo 300? help!
The Treo is a bit bigger than what I want, although it does have the keyboard, so I see that as a plus. Any others?
Would (other than MP3) you see any advantages to the Qualcomm Palm phone instead - I have always used Sprint over Verizon.
the i500 seems to be the smallest, thus I am leaning towards that. Granted it doesnt have that expansion slot - but not sure what I need that for anyway.
comments or suggestions?
RE: i500 or Treo 300? help!
Check out www.phonescoop.com this is a great comparison website.
As of June 15th, Sprint is still not offering the i500

Hmm
I'm looking at Smartphones to replace not two, but three of my devices, my pda, cellphone and my mp3 player(Which should be read it last rites this summer).
Of course, the little problem with my plan is that rumors keep circulating Sprint is going to opt to ONLY carry the i500 and not the 7135, and I have no choice about phone carriers, so I just have to play the waiting game.
I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. We're in space.
