Kyocera 7135 Palm phone, h5555 iPaq, my new hx4700 iPaq

I got the 7135 for free from Kyocera, a buddy of mine used to run a discussion board like this one dedicated to smartphones and they sent us a couple of those to play with before they came out.
My job got me the h5555 and I've been using it for about a year and a half. The charge/sync port on it has been getting sloppy and last week died completely. So I got the hx4700 to replace it and sure enough today when the new one showed up the old one started working again. I'm sending it off to get the socket replaced and then may sell it. I have a nice Navman GPS sleeve I use with it so I may just relegate it to in-car nav and use the other for everything else.
The hx4700 has a 4" full VGA screen running at 480x640, built in wifi and bluetooth, and has a 624MHz processor. I can do most of the things on it that I use my laptop for and it's a lot smaller to carry around.

I have the Treo 600. Far and away better than the Kyocera (though i didn;t get it for free!)
That's a matter of opinion. I played with the treo and really didn't like it as much as the kyocera. Anymore though I don't hardly use the palm portion of the phone since I have the ipaq.

Well, in that case I understand. The Palm portion on the Kyocera is what sucked. I wouldn't want to carry two devices though. The Treo is a great PDA, decent for the internet (a lot of my posts here are made from my Treo) and works well as a phone. The camera is fair - about as good as most phones have. With the SD slot, it also makes a very good MP3 player.

One of the things I really like about the new 4700 is that it has SD and CF slots built in. My Minolta camera and my phone both use SD slots too so I don't end up having too many different cards around. The CF is nice because I can put full DVD's on microdrives and watch them on the ipaq.
