They are probably giving that away cause the 1x ones are going to be out soon. Its a cheap way to get a palm! Don't activate it and you got a palm.

<< Kyocera 6035 is now priced at $150 at Sprint.... >>

It deserves to be. <g> Mine was obsolesced in the first 10 months of ownership when I installed XP on my desktop computing platforms, and had a new XP equipped laptop shipped from headquarters to replace the one with 98SE I was using with Palm Desktop 3.5.

The 6035 uses (a somewhat modified version of) Palm 3.5 OS which is not compatible with XP, and Kyocera has no upgrade available either directly or through carriers (Verizon in my case) to a Palm 4 based OS. Essentially this means no capability to synchronize.

I have not experimented with XP compatibility mode.

I'm wondering if any other 6035 user has worked through this issue?

Looks like I'm back to using my Palm Vx which is upgradable.
