Palm Computing and the KYO 7135 Michael, << sound like you are going to be a heavy 7135 user. >> That's yet to be determined at least as it applies to 1xRTT data. << There is a lot to learn on these phones, and like getting a new computer or software, you need to take your time and learn a little more every day. >> There certainly is a lot to learn and its a bit tedious, and I'm a bit rusty. << My biggest mistake was to load every piece of trial software I could find. I overloaded my phone with so much garbage. >> Been there ... done that. <g> I started Palm Computing with a IIIc then moved to the Vx which I serially connected to a QCP860 using the neat leather Qualcomm organizer . After some experimentation, I stopped attempting to use wireless data and haven't used it with the 6035 that I've had for over 2 years. My objective is now as it has been for sometime, to eliminate toting a laptop on business trips of relatively short duration. I synch the 6035 with an ACT!2000 contact database, and my most indispensable application is DocumentsToGo. I store essential Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDFs so I don't have to lug much paper if the laptop is left behind. Initially I'm subscribing the unlimited data plan which is $44.95/mo. as an adder to my America's Choice plan. Fortunately that's a month to month contract without long term commitment, so I'll determine within the first few months if it has real utility for me that justifies the adder. It appears Verizon has done one heck of a job with the northeast 1xRTT buildout so I need to amend a post I made yesterday on the Qualcomm Moderated thread. Network Express became available here over the weekend and it looks like the whole northeast corridor is pretty well built out with 1xRTT and that includes this whole small state with its 3 counties down to the beaches. I'll quickly get a handle on how complete that coverage is, but it looks pretty comprehensive. Kudos to Verizon. - Eric -
