RE: Palm Pilots & Internet connectivity

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

One of our VP's just got a Samsung i330 this week (from Sprint) and I
have it setup to access the internet via the browser Blaze (dumb name),
has Documents to Go (Word, Excel and PowerPoint), Eudora email, etc. I
was working on getting the mail software that comes with it working and
had talked with Sprint tech support because it wouldn't... They said it
wouldn't and to download Eudora for the Palm OS (there was a half page
in the manual mainly telling you to use the Serial option in Hotsynch
and not the USB option and that was IT on the PDA part) and I did. Then
they said to hit the PCS Vision section of their site, etc. Well on a
whim, I just set Eudora to hit our email server and wallah ! it works
(and no charge like you get through PCS Vision. And the phone was about
the same price as the Palm Tungsten T (that I have...)

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  But, it is old and outdated now.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.
