Is the expansion slot SDIO or memory only?

Yes, the 7135 supports SDIO. The article(s) that said it didn't was(were) wrong.

Not all SDIO devices have the appropriate drivers for the 7135 yet, but that is a temporary condition.

A related question is whether you can use the Palm Bluetooth card. The answer is probably, depending on how you want to use it.

It almost certainly (does anyone have one yet to confirm....) can be used to access bluetooth gateways for access to LAN/WAN, Bluetooth enabled printers, the Emtac Bluetooth GPS, or anything else you could do with a Palm and the bluetooth card. It does not have a headset profile currently available, so at least for now, it can not be used with a bluetooth headset. Until Kyocera releases the SDK, we don't know if the voice circuits in the phone will be able to access the bluetooth functions.

It is not yet clear whether it can be used to allow another bluetooth device to access the internet through the 7135's internet connection. We are still waiting for someone who has both devices to post some info, and I will edit this FAQ when we have the answer (I suspect it is no).
