Pros: Palm and Handheld in one unit
Cons: Still a bit bulky and reception goes in and out and no expandability.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the phone to anyone that carries both a palm pilot and a cell phone. The functionality is their and they will only get better as time progresses.

| chugs's Full Review: Kyocera QCP-6035 Smartphone |
I have had this phone since it first hit the market. My service provider is Verizon. When this phone first came out, I was excited by the prospect of having a Palm and a cell phone in one unit that actually was specifically designed not as an upgrade but as one unit.
The features of the phone are pretty much the same as a Palm Vx except that the screen is smaller and the quality of the screen is definitely not the same. The way that you look at your address book and dial from there is very intuitive and easy to use. The browser is not really functional but the email program included works fine as a previewer of your messages.
Memory is always an issue and I wish that the phone had the ram available in some of the newer phones. The refresh time is also not as fast as the newer phones but the battery life really cannot be beat as I have yet to run out of power in the phone.
Syncing is a breeze and works the same way as the palm pilot. Support issues would be my only concern as Kyocera always refers you to Verizon and Verizon always refers you to Kyocera and questions do not always get answered clearly.
The usb sync cable is the way to go as it is much faster than the serial cradle and when you have over a few thousand contacts it works great. I sync with Act versus the Palm desktop and would recommend it if you like to track appointments tied to the people in the most efficient manner.
