Yeah I posted a thread about this phone over in the Verizon Phone's section today too
I like the fact it has an external antennae, possible pullout too. The only other phone like that, the Motorola E815 is the only phone that gets a useable signal inside my house.. maybe this one will too.. (fingers crossed.).
I just wonder if the screen size is at least 2.2" like the E815...

This may be the phone I depend on to replace my Kyocera 7135. I just hope it retains enough PDA to have a touchscreen and stylus inputs without the nasty QWERTY keypads and block styling that hinder their functionality as phones.
What is a mini or a micro?

It is not touchscreen nor will it have a stylus. Mini/micro refer to the SD card.Originally Posted by ZoomZoom Diva
I wonder if you must use a dataplan instead of the regular America's choice + Mobile Web. Since it seems to be more a smartphone rather than pda phone, they shouldnt force you to pay twice as much

I don't understand the point of the phone, then. It has a PDA operating system, but the interface essentially prevents you from using it as such.
Looks like I might be forced to keep my Kyocera 7135 then and hope it lasts a very long time, as there isn't a phone that even comes close on the market right now.

I would call it a "Hybrid" phone.. for those wanting the windows operating system (no Verizon UI) in a flip phone format.
I'd buy it!!

I understand the attraction of a flip phone format, but if you're going to give it a Windows Mobile operating system, why not give it some actual functionality while you're at it? I currently have a phone with PDA functionality in a flip format and am seeking a replacement that offers the same, just improved with updated technology. This doesn't do it.

It's running WM5 Smartphone instead of WM5 PocketPC. This is to target users who want a full-fledged PDA but want a compact form-factor that can be used with one hand (i.e. no need for a stylus). So, although this does not have a stylus nor does it have a very big screen, it can essentially do anything that a PocketPC phone can do albeit with some constraints.
The Smartphone OS is basically a subset of Pockeptc and is still a very powerful OS.
It does really come down to your usage though and what you really need in a device. If you must have a stylus (I'm curious what you specifically need a stylus for), then sticking with a PocketPC based phone is your best bet but probably won't find a small form-factor such as this or the Cingular 3125 either.
I cannot speak to this phone directly as I have not personally seen or used it but going by the 3125 form-factor, it is still a useful phone w/ PDA functionality whereas a PocketPC device (such as the Cingular 8525) is a PDA with phone functionality. Each serving their own purpose and need.

I have used Windows Mobile Smartphone in 2 different devices (Imate SP5 and Qtek 8500) it is a very useful OS that is not hampered by the lack of a touch screen. Just ask the guys who use Symbian. Don't Forget that something like 80% of all the smartphones in the world run on Symbian S60 which doesn't use a touch screen.

How on earth do you enter and manipulate data? Are you forced to use a 4 way pad to maneuver and the phone keys to write? The stylus serves as a writing instrument and serves all the functions of a mouse on a computer. While not indispensable, a touch screen and stylus are of vast convenience to the operation of the PDA, and it seems like those functions are compromised by stupidly omitting basic features.
While I need a phone-first, PDA second, the Kyocera 7135 appears to have made a far better combination providing more PDA abilities without sacrificing the phone in any way. Keeping the same arrangement with the up-to-date OS and other technologies seems to be a much smarter SmartPhone.
