As the article says, its 115kps. Is that what you mean by "high speed"?

If you don''t like putting your Palm to your face, I think it comes with a headphone jack.

High-speed communication
High-Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD)if supported by the network operator and Internet service provider.Like the Pirelli advertising, speed is nothing if the network doesn´t suport it ;-)

No i think this phone does not support HSCSD. HSCSD is up to 64kbit not 115! Theré are only four cell phones out, supporting hscsd. GPRS is very different from hscsd.

Whatever Happen to accessories for the MMC/SD slots?

Whatever happen to the peripherals that were suppose to fit in these slots? Are companies acknowledging that the slots are too darn small to fit anything in it? As far as I am concerned, the Springboard slot is still the best expansion option out there. You can use a keyboard or another connector of some king plus a modem or other springbooard module.

The first of these, the Bluetooth one, will be out by the end of the year. I don't know about the others.

I think if Palm is willing to invest in a SD/MMC GSM/GPRS Ohfish can definately do it.

Look! How heavy it weights?

I.M. Anonymous @ 10/5/2001 12:32:33 PM #

Go to Ohfish and see the spec the yourself. This thing weight as heavy as 6 oz!. Even if it has a USA and work with m505, the whole thing weights more than 10 oz, even more than my Edge with VP. Yet how can we call this smart convergence?

Oh, poor baby...an extra 6 oz. Do you need a spotter?
Who cares about a few extra oz when you get a wireless web browser/cell phone palm.
Why don't you make one smaller then! Geez, you people are getting way to spoiled these days.
Be happy you live in such modern times. This will be amazing. Go Ohfish...
