Kyocera QCP-6035 Smartphone

Pros: Palm and phone in one, triband phone, Palm features on par with current Palms
Cons: very small screen, poor Palm-Phone integration, no expansion

I will be the first person to say that PalmOS devices should be small and lightweight. If they can't be with you at all times they lose much of their usefulness.

I will also be the first person to tell you that the first attempt at an...

Pros: PDA/Phone all-in-one. Handles nicely, good quality sound.
Cons: Should be 15% smaller, no expansion slot , color screen would be way cool.

A Combo Digital Phone and Palm PDA all in one chassis. Be still my heart !! For two years since I took the plunge with my Palm VII I have been waiting for this device. I nearly strayed when the Palm IIIc and the Handspring came out, but I remained true...

Pros: Everything you need rolled up into one device
Cons: A little big and heavy...

I recently purchased a Kyocera Smartphone, the first day available actually, because I've been waiting for someone to finally combine the two devices that seemingly everyone has and uses together- a mobile phone and a PDA. I was impressed by the e-mail...

Pros: Large, excellent rotating monitor; MP3 playback/ringtones; Stereo FM; Cool appearance; Bluetooth; Symbian OS; MMC slot.
Cons: Firmware bugs; Firmware not "user flashable"; VGA camera; Speaker sound quality; Some vulnerable plastic materials.

My first mobile phone was a Motorola Startac (with a slim battery), my latest purchase is also something similar in mechanical design, size and weight. But the "contents" are of a huge difference! Just purchased on Sunday as a whole package which is ...

Pros: Reduce carrying 2 items down to 1; feature-rich
Cons: A little bulky for a phone; no memory slots

OVERVIEW

I purchased the Smartphone 6035 because I was carrying a palm and a cell phone everywhere I went and it was becoming quite a hassle. The convenience of carrying only one device instead of 2 is well worth the investment in my...

Pros: PDA/phone in a single unit, PalmOS compatibility,
Cons: Dual-OS environment, no apparent way to send SMS messages

I've been waiting for a product like this for a long time. The 6035 is not perfect, but I like it a lot.

It's a phone and a Palm PDA in the same case. The first thing I noticed, which was a slight disappointment, is that the phone and Palm...

Pros: Great phone, encompasses 2 devices in 1. Never leave home without it.
Cons: Serial sync cradle.

I have owned a number of digital phones and PDA's. Recently, my Handspring Platinum developed a cracked screen so I decided, after a lot of investigation, to buy a Kyocera 6035 SmartPhone.

I found a, cheap at the time, used phone on ebay for...

Pros: Integrated Palm and Tri-band CDMA phone
Cons: No memory slot.

If you already carry a palm, like the idea of Wireless internet (like Omnisky), and require a mobile phone, this really truly is a godsend.

Ok, I gotta admit. The Palm V I had was neat once it was bundled with Omnisky. To me, *ANY* PDA...

Pros: Nice all-in-one package; Great features
Cons: Poor backlighting; Heavy

I came across the Kyocera Smartphone while trying to find a PDA/Digital Phone combination for my boss. After narrowing my choices down to the Kyocera, I called our wireless vendor and he brought one over for us to demo for a couple of weeks. With the ...

Pros: Fantastic Features
Cons: Expensive, slightly bulky, horrible company to deal with for support

Well, after many months of trying to figure out how I can get my database for my cell phone and my Palm (actually a Handspring) be the same...I figured out...It can’t be done, easily.

Now, before you going starting up Virtual PC and launching...

Pros: It's one device that has a lot of functionality and a good battery life
Cons: bulky; no color display; ringer is a little soft

After spending two hours in the store, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the phone. Fairly pricey for a normal phone at $400, it is not that bad a deal serving as two devices in one package.

The size took a little getting used to after a...

Pros: Internet connectivity, good data storage, compatibility with palms and thier applications
Cons: Large Screen Size, Monochromatic Screen, NO downloadable ringtones

It was midnight and I was standing at a train station wondering how I was going to get home. After calling a few disconnected taxi phone lines I knew that I was in a rut. That is when I first realized the true potential of the Kyocera QCP 6035...

Pros: Best of Breed. Successfully offers phone and palm functionality in a handy solution.
Cons: Eudora internet browsing does not support online secure transactions

Assuming you are a very busy person, I will attempt to point the features and advantages of this palm phone, the best of its kind so far, in a very concise manner.

Verizon Wireless first introduced this device in the market on March 5, for...

Pros: No need to carry 2 items (PDA & phone); wireless web that is useful
Cons: Big for a phone

I've been waiting for years for someone to combine a full-function PDA with a cell phone. As much as I wanted to always have my PDA with me, I just couldn't bring myself to carry around another black (or silver) box. I've owned Palms and WinCE devices,...

Pros: Features, ISP access, All in One Convenience.
Cons: Big, Speaker phone not too usable.

I got this through Verizon for $100 (after rebates). For this price, this is great product. Of course you have to ask yourself if this unit is going to suit your needs. I was looking at a phone that would provide good telephone services...

Pros: all in one device
Cons: weight, form factor, backlight

10/25/01I was at Office Depot last week and was browsing the cell phone aisle. I saw this phone and then glanced at the price tag, assuming I would see a price range of around $400. Holy Cow! It's only $229 now! I'll take it! Whipped out my...

Pros: Palm PDA and cellphone in one
Cons: isn't tightly integrated

Although having a palm PDA embedded in the phone is nice, there's nothing wrong with carrying a palm AND a cell phone. What you get with this phone is mere convenience, nothing more.

The main problem with this phone is the Palm operating...

Pros: Combines phone, PIM, Fax, and Net all in one device.
Cons: None

I've been carrying a cell phone, Palm V, and a modem for the Palm for the past two years. I travel a lot and liked the amount of information I could get with that configuration, but was frustrated by the poor quality of the AT&T system and the OmniSky...

Pros: Palm and wireless phone in one unit. Wireless Internet access.
Cons: wish it were even smaller! Be careful, minutes go quickly while surfing!

Kyocera has come up with a winner in the 6035 Palm OS Smartphone. Imagine the functionality of a Palm VIIx wedded to a tri-band digital wireless phone, and you've got the 6035.
It's triband: it can make CDMA, PCS and analog phone connections, as...

Pros: A PDA and Phone all in one!
Cons: Big and clunky, anything BUT hassle-free.

What happens when you leave a Palm-Pilot, some scented candles, a little Marvin Gaye playing in the background, and Kyocera's uncanny knack for cell phones? The Kyocera QCP 6035 - All in one PDA-Cell Phone.

I have to admit, when I first...

Pros: PDA and phone, smaller than previous model, good reception
Cons: Expensive and still quite cumbersome

Palm meet phone, phone meet Palm. The first time these two got together--in Qualcomm's pdQ smart phone--the results weren't all that wonderful. But this time, Kyocera, which bought Qualcomm's phone division last year, has managed to combine the two in a...

Pros: Great idea: a Phone and PDA in one; no major problems
Cons: Small for a palm, large for a phone

I had read about the Kyocera Smartphone before I decided to purchase a cell phone and plan, but, I always thought it was out of my price range. But, when I actually visited the store, I noticed that it was on sale for about $100; making it cheaper than...

Pros: Palm OS, functionality, flexibility
Cons: BIG, not color, no expansion capability

I had a cell phone. I had a Palm OS PDA.

I loved the PDA, but found I didn't use it enough, because I simply would not carry both the phone and the PDA everywhere. Then it happened. My cell phone broke.

So, I picked up the...

Pros: Very versatile--full featured phone and email/web browser all in one at a good price.
Cons: Screen is hard to read. No protective cover.

If you live in a remote area without benefit of the newest Bluetooth technology but want portable internet and e-mail access, this phone is definitely for you. After looking at many handheld computers in local electronics stores and being told the...

Pros: Most comfortably sized PDA/phone combo.
Cons: Backlight is ok for phone functions, but useless for Palm apps.

I have resisted getting a PDA for some time because I didn't think it was worth the hassle of carrying another device and I didn't think I would use it enough to justify the cost. Then I found the Kyocera Smartphone. I've tried some of the newer PDA...

Pros: PDA functionality/Cell phone in an "acceptably small" package. Great Battery life
Cons: "Acceptably small" means bigger than would make most happy...jog dial is moderately annoying.

I bought the Kyocera Smartphone because I, like many others, frequently use both a PDA and a cell ph ...

Pros: Everything you need is in this phone ! Good battery life, lot of wonderful tools.
Cons: Perhaps a little bit bit but it is the compromise with the Palm !

When I receive this phone, I was very anxious to discover the new functionalities of the Palm. What is really great is the interfaces from the Palm and the phone. "Minutes" installed (a free software. It will read your call history log and calculate your...

Pros: Power management is great. PalmOS with real web power.
Cons: Ugly Case that cost extra. No expansion module slot.

I got my Kyocera SmartPhone from Verizon about three weeks ago and I just have to say that it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I have yet to hit a web site that I can not access using the Endora browser that came bundled with the...

Pros: Great idea, Palm OS was an excellent addition
Cons: Poor design, horrible contacts

When we heard the Kyrocera was coming out with a wireless phone with a fully functional Palm-style organizer in it, we were both, excited and worried.

Excited that someone actually made a wireless phone, with the Palm OS built into it,...

Pros: Looks nice, very convenient, a Palm Pilot and phone in one, real Web Browser!
Cons: No carrying case or accesories included, despite the hefty price 549.99!

I must say that I am thrilled with this phone, besides the fact that its a Palm Pilot as well! It has all the features of a Palm, it even has indiglo back light.

The best thing about it is it's internet service. This is as real as it gets...

Pros: Palm and Handheld in one unit
Cons: Still a bit bulky and reception goes in and out and no expandability.

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...

Pros: Good Cell Phone in durable housing. Great speakerphone
Cons: Really bad screen with frustrating backlight options

Kyocera seemed to be first to the market with a Cell Phone / PDA combination. It's initial price coupled with the fact it did not work with Cingular kept it out of the question. Sprint service in the area was good in most areas but very bad from the...

Pros: All in one and able to integrate phone needs and palm databases
Cons: No memory chip.

Visiting my local Sprint Store, I began pricing phones to replace on that had a broken flip speaker. I came across many that were able to access the Internet, I was impressed but somewhat put off by their prices even with the $70 rebate offered at the...

Pros: Integrated palm pilot
Cons: Does not work FOUR phones dead in a week

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...

Pros: Integrated Palm OS, user interface, battery life
Cons: Bigger than "small" cell phones, uses Palm-style inverse backlighting

I've always struggled with how to deal with a Palm device, a laptop to check email, and a cel phone. Finally, with one thing to carry (and one set of recharging gear when I travel), this phone does it all.

It's got all the phone features...

Pros: Battery Life Reception Multifuntionality
Cons: Crashes (but saves data) Build quality Large body size

Like many gadgets that make big promises, you can't tell whether the Kyocera 6035 is right for you until you buy one. It works for me, but at the expense of several unexpected disadvantages.

Advantages:
1. Excellent battery life. I have...

Pros: Effective combination of phone and PDA; you get what you pay for.
Cons: Complex. Could be simplified. Would have paid more for some amenities.

I had a cheap phone and no PDA while I waited for this model.
Unpacking it, I was happy with the form factor. With a headset, the user can be on the phone and take notes simultaneously. Who wants to fry their brain and wear their arm out holding...

Pros: Great palm integration and battery life. All in 1 wonder.
Cons: NO USB port. TERRIBLE Sprint/Kyocera service to fix major bug.

Overall the integration of the palm capabilities into the phone is perfect (lack of USB port and cable accepted - so add $49 to your purchase for a home-grown solution). With nearly 1000 outlook contacts, plus multiple applications, in the 8MB phone, I...

Pros: Voice Dial, speakerphone, long battery life.
Cons: Doesn't run all palm apps, speakerphone sound less than great.

I was getting tired of carrying around a palm and a phone so I purchased the QCP 6035 (Sprint PCS service) from Officemax when they dropped the price to $250. I have no real regrets about buying this phone.
Before buying this I was carrying around...

Pros: Serves two purposes in one, Good voice command
Cons: Heavy, poor reception, phone part can be tricky to operate with one hand.

I was very excited about this phone when it was introduced. Finally one device for my Palm and my phone. Set up was fairly easy since I already owned a palm. The voice dialer is excellent too.

The problem with this phone is in everyday use....

Pros: Excellent size, good integration, stable
Cons: Upgradeability

I have finally switched off from my Qualcomm PDQ onto this fantastic device. Don't let anyone tell you the screen is too small, this thing is the perfect size. And larger, and you'd have the problems you have with the Visor Phone, or the earlier PDQ....

Pros: Get organized, surf the web, play games and talk on the phone!
Cons: Nothing that would keep me from buying it again.

I am a small business owner and decided that perhaps a Palm device was what I needed to get organized. After carefully checking out ALL of the Palm type devices out there, my head was swimming. I couldn't find the one that had everything I wanted. I...

Pros: Price (down to $99 now!) and convenience
Cons: Black and white display; speakerphone is hard to hear

When I paid $250 for my 6035 I thought I got a bargain. Now I see them down to $99; that's less than most Palm devices by themselves.

This is a nerdly phone, no doubt. But as one who used to have to carry two beepers, a Palm VII and a cell...

Pros: Speakerphone, PalmV, Web Access, Big Screen, Syncs GREAT with Outlook
Cons: SprintPCS Only, Bulky, Slow contact lookup, Clumsy side switch; quiet ringer

The Kyocera smartphone performs great! The integration of the Palm features with the phone features was done very well. While some phone features are lacking, it is not enough to change my opinion -- but I do expect better next time! The speakerphone...

Pros: Integration
Cons: Size, poor integration ergonomics Very weak ringer

I have had my Smartphone for two months now. Prior to that, I owned a Handspring Visor Deluxe, but balked at the high prices of Springboard wireless data adapters. So when I lost my cell phone, I just decided to get the Smartphone instead of a...

Pros: Wow, what I've always wanted - PDA and phone in one!
Cons: Horrible quality phone.

When I first read that Consumer Reports had rated the Kyocera 6035 as the best possible wireless PDA, I jumped on the internet to begin researching. It seemed like a really neat product and I was drooling at the prospect of having a full-blown PDA along...

Pros: Innovative Combat System which heavily involves the player. Great graphics and gameplay.
Cons: It being a new game, has it's bugs which are a pain.

Age Of Conan Hyborian Adventures is a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online RPG) Which contains a new, fresh, innovative combat system as well as a unique player crafting system in which the player can create his/her own cities! The new combat system ...

Pros: All in one phone. No need for a pda and a phone.
Cons: If the phone had the speaker phone ability it would rule.

I had been looking for the combo pda and phone for the longest time. And the time has come with this one. I sign up with cellularphones4less.com and signed a 2 year agreement and sent me the phone free. It was new and easy to use. I have used a palm for...

Pros: Perfect Ergonomics; well-made and very durable
Cons: Can't think of any

I've had this phone for a few months now and I'm really happy with it. It's main advantage over other cells is that it's also a full-featured PDA with an address book, to-do list, etc. That makes it extremely convenient.

I respectfully...

Pros: Voice-dial works well. Good battery life. Phone-PDA integration is ok
Cons: Internal contacts on number pad are terrible, random numbers displayed, must try redialing at times.

The PDA seems to work well enough, but the phone pad is terrible. I have had mine about a year, and the number pad is now temperamental. At times, I will hit the 0 key, and get a *, or 7 and get a 1. This will happen until I flip the number pad open,...

Pros: full functional dual purpose device
Cons: small screen size; slow remote syncs

Leery of all in one packages, it took some months to make the move to the PalmPhone -- after 4 mos. have absolutely no regrets. Phone features work great - voice activated dialing, auto dial from phone directory, caller i.d., etc. While I miss the beaut ...

Pros: Great having a phone and Plam in one; great battery life!
Cons: Reception inside some buildings is difficult.

I've been extremely happy with my overall experience since getting my Kyocera 6035. Although some have remarked they felt it was large, it would be impossible to incorporate such a sizable palm screen without having a larger phone! I love that I can...

Pros: Excellent integration of Palm and phone Great for using in a vehicle
Cons: Need a slightly larger font Wish "Wake-Up" would work when on battery power

I can't live without it! I have close to 300 contacts contianed in the phone. Being able to use the "find" command to locate contact names or business names is a BIG plus. The voice dial and answering is a great safety feature while on the road (using...

Pros: Has all Palm functions; interesting conversation piece
Cons: too monstrous to carry as all-access cell phone

When I heard of an integrated cell-phone and Palm Pilot, I ran to the store to get a better look. It really is a nice idea, but not an executable idea. The Kyocera has all of the functions of a Palm, which I found useful. Who can live without their...

Pros: Palm OS integrated, Very large address book, Voice dialing, speakerphone
Cons: Glass LCD screen (but most Palms seem to have that)

What can I say? This is a great phone. The voice dialing and voice recognition features are great. You can sync up e-mails and your web favorites by a simple download from Qualcomm. To the reviewer that said that there's no backlight button, look at...

Pros: Excellent voice quality -- and you get a Palm device as a bonus
Cons: size, some wierdness with switching between phone and Palm modes

I waited for the price to come down on this before springing for one of these at Staples on sale for $180 with a $50 rebate from Kyocera. Simply put, if you can find this phone for under $200, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The voice...

Pros: large screen, good colour, heaps of good features, easy txt buttons, very intresting
Cons: bigger in size, pricey

when i went shopping for a phone i was looking for a phone with camera and video. A cute mini one was one that i pictured to get, i really wanted one that had mp3 too. i looked at leaste 6 stores with alot of varities of cellphones. i looked at all the ...

Pros: Great Battery Life, Good PDA integration, feature rich
Cons: No USB sync, backlight poor

I have been using the 6035 since they were first available. This is the best cell phone I have had. The battery life is superb. The unit is currently available thru Sprint or Verizon. The PDA works as advertised. The screen is smaller as it uses the same...

Pros: tough useful reliable palm os ong battery life
Cons: large, heavy, no color screen

this is a tough and useful phone. it has enough memory and doesn't crash all the time like the newer model (7135) the drawbacks of this phone are that it has no color screen and is large. the newer model is smaller and has a color screen, but because of that it has a fraction of the battery life and a delicate operating system that crashes often. some other problems i have with the phone seem to be the faulty software created by verizon (my carrier) to run the phone side of the device. that software (firmware) and the people who install it at the service centers are less than reliable. the service centers often are incapable of instaling the firmware at all and those that can, sometimes install it incorrectly using old corrupt versions.

Pros: None that I'm aware of
Cons: Didn't work, no support.

I'm using 64-bit Vista and this program won't launch. Not only that, but you won't get any support from anyone. Eidos lists their phone number in the back of the manual (650-421-7670), but clearly indicates that they do not have support for Age of Conan.

The Age of Conan forums are only open, in theory, once you have entered your registration key, etc, etc. However, I was not able to access them.

I sent several e-mails and never received any response. I would recommend against getting this game.

Pros: Big screen, big buttons
Cons: Too big, cheap plastic, retro design, not possible to operate with one hand

Just got it yesterday. It looked sooo cool on the internet, but I was dissapointed when I saw it. It looks very cheap, the plastic is very ugly. Also, it's way bigger than I expected. Looks as it has cool features, but I didn't go through it yet.

Pros: Cheap, basic PDA features
Cons: inability to upgrade the OS, monochrome screen, no sd, cf or bluetooth

It's been two years since I got this phone, one of the best purchases I've made. If you are looking to take your computer with you, this is not the hybrid to get. If you want your calendar, contacts, tasks, email messages with your phone - get this. I paid $100 at best buy (with sprint activation). Paid another $50 to buy Chapura's pocket mirror pro (to compliment pocket mirror) so now I can sync my outlook subfolders (intellisync may be better). Downsides are the inability to upgrade the Palm OS (3.1.5), the monochrome screen, no sd of cf card slot and no bluetooth support. Other than that I can't see any reason to upgrade to the $500-$600 models that are out there - unless you have the dough. Yeah, so the new ones come with a camera that gets you less than 1 megapixel, are smaller and have a color screen. I'll wait until the competition forces the price down or the features up.

Pros: great picture quality, great shape, sleek,
Cons: its bit scary when u try to twist in the wrong direction by mistake.

well i just fell in love with it when i saw it for the first time in an advertisemnt..it just fascinated me..i went on to buy it. great picture clarity, VGA camera but only 2x zooming. camera is in the side, but the camera can be twisted 180 degress which makes it even more cool and sexy. The coffee brown colored mobile is better than the silver one...its really sleak...comes with a 32 mb memory card aswell. just buy it..i love it..so will you...oops forgot about the mp3 player, the radio, and more...try it..u will love it.
