Kyocera 7135 (Verizon Wireless)
Editors' rating
Very good
7.3
out of 10
- The good: High-speed wireless access; Secure Digital/MultiMedia Memory card expansion slot; built-in MP3 player and image viewer.
- The bad: A bit bulky; touch screen is deactivated when in phone mode; keypad numbers are slow to respond; no headset included.
- The bottom line: The 7135 is a complete, feature-rich phone/PDA hybrid that would've been even more attractive had it come out sooner.

Intro of Kyocera 7135 (Verizon Wireless)
Kyocera has manufactured some history-making Palm phones, and its latest, the 7135, is the company's first color-screened hybrid with a flip-phone design. Kyocera has taken a slightly different approach from that of Handspring, the makers of the Treo 300. The 7135 is a phone first and a wireless PDA second; instead of a built-in minikeyboard, you'll find a standard dial pad, which some users may prefer. The 7135 also boasts an expansion slot for adding memory; a bright, 65,000-color screen; and a built-in MP3 player. That's all good, but some users may find the unit a tad bulky compared to the somewhat more compact Treo 300, which sports a QWERTY keyboard, and the Samsung SPH-i330.
