RE: Palm Pilots & Internet connectivity

["Bob Crothers" <bob2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, 

Don't get a palm.  Instead, get a smart phone.  This is a cell phone with a
Palm OS built in!

The Palm network is pretty limited.  Major citys only, and not far from
them.  And it is expensive.

With the smart phone approach, you only pay normal cell airtime.  And the 3G
networks are starting to roll out so things will be much faster.  And yes,
the phone side works pretty good also!

I have a Kyocera 6035 and love it.  But, it is old and outdated now.  I'm
waiting (hoping) that Sprint will carry the Kyocera 7135...that phone ROCKS.

Bob
