Pros: Integrated palm pilot
Cons: Does not work FOUR phones dead in a week
The Bottom Line: Junk! I had FOUR of these die in less than a week! I wouldn't touch another Kyocera 6035. Too big and heavy anyhow.

| abmarsh's Full Review: Kyocera QCP-6035 Smartphone |
I was using a Motorola Star Tac on the Sprint Service. Droppping calls and bad reception in metro Atlanta. Supposedly the heart of Sprint PCS "Clear Choice."
Called Sprint and told them to just cancel the service (contract was up). They said that they would give me one month's free service and a Kyocera 6035 SmartPhone with integrated Plam Pilot. I agreed.
The phone arrived two days later. When I sa, "The Phone," I mean that is ALL there was in the box. No manual, no charger, no software, no PC link. And this is a complicated phone!
I called to complain. After another very long wait I was told that they had to "send me what's in the warehouse" and the best Sprint would do was to offer me a $30 credit and I could get a charger at Radio Shack. I did.
Three days later the phone (#1) died. Screen froze up. Went to the local Sprint store. They said that they could not fix it and gave me a new phone. Phone (#2), died 2 days later.
Back to the Sprint Store. Another brand new phone (#3) with all accessories. I was a little loud! The third phone died one day later. Now these are all the Kyocera 6035 $499 phones!
The fourth (#4) phone lasted less than two hours. Wonder if my ex-wife works for Sprint PCS, the Clear Choice?
Truthfully I have not had one of these smart phones work long enough to evaluate the Sprint service, but it does begin to dawn on me that something is wrong!
How could I get FOUR bad Kyocera 6035 phones in less than a week. I have had cell phones for years. I know how to take care of them and none of these were in anyway abused. Proper charging -- the battery indicator was at "full" every time the phone froze up . . . . .
I am beyond mad.
All I can say is that Kyocera 6035 SmartPhone is awful! Worst phone I have ever (tried) to use.
I am going to email Kyocera and ask them to resolve this. Is this why these phones are going on sale? Office Depot has them on closeout for $229 off the list price of $499.
Has Kyocera made the "Lemon of the Ages?"
