I've got a Kyocera 6035 which runs PalmOS. It's got a standard b&w palm screen, excpet smaller (though with the same resolution).

Did you just buy it?

FYI, they're coming out with a (IMO) much better-designed model soonish... the Kyocera 7135. I considered it, before finally coming to the realization that I still don't like PalmOS, thus ending my temptation. :)

Here's a spec page, and here's a streaming video demo of the phone (scroll down to "Video Reports").

No, I've had it for a while. Verizon had a special where you could get one for $150, which at the time I knew meant a better version was coming and they were getting rid of their stock of the old phones before it was announced. Turns out I was right, but it was still a good deal and it does what I need it to do. LJ/IRC/SSH from it are just toys, but I do like having to only carry one device.

Gotcha. Good deal, then.

If you had just bought it, I would have recommended holding off... but that's mostly because I (1) really prefer "clamshell" phones and (2) think the 6035 is too bulky.

If you like it, ne'er mind. :)
