Apologies if this has been posted already, but I was able find photos of the new rumored Kyocera smartphone. Don't know if they're real or not (or how long they'll be online ... Kyocera apparently asked PalmInfoCenter to remove their pictures) but it looks like an interesting phone.
I dont know if its just me...but i think that Phone is so HOT....to tell you the truth i Love the clam design (starting from the Smasung 8500)...and i think that is great to implement into a smartphone...the only thing i worry about ishow Top-heavy it is. But in all hoestly i would buy that over anything we have seen so far in terms of Samsung, esecially that there might be a SD expansion slot....can you imagine the possibilities;
Blue-tooth enabled printing, Blue-tooth chat
Memory up to 256 MBs
Too many thing to list...
P.S. i am hoping for a high-quality color screen, one of the things that is annoying about our phone...(hopefully no ring-around-the-screen... )

You said it! I will not buy another phone unless it has a very decent color screen - active matrix, good saturation, and reasonable visibility outdoors. I hope all the manufacturers are reading this forum ... I know it's tricky to get decent battery life when the quality of the screen improves, but this LCD on the I300 is really scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as color Palm screens go. Even the Palm IIIc's screen is better than ours!
Doug:
Thanks for the picture. I had a 6035 before my i300. I like(d) both phones. Still have the 6035 as a back up, although I have not had the need to use it. I really like the design of this phone. Should be interesting when/if it arrives.
I have promised myself I would not buy a new phone this year... but, I have lied to myself before. If you have any more info, please keep us posted.

buwhwhwhhahahahaaaa............. yeah right Carl...
you know how you and i are... the first on the block with technology... before you know it, the i300 will be in the ol' technology drawer along with the newton et al....
Marc:
Yeah, but its gonna be hard to explain to the boss why I need another cell phone.
From what I have seen, I will likely pass on the i330, but I really do like the design on the supposed Kyo replacement. The color screen did look crappy in the pictures though. I like the clamshell design and it looks like that phone may be a little smaller too. Marc, what are you going to do if both the Kyo and the i330 come out at the same time?
I am very happy with my i300 but the new Kyocera looks very compelling. Honestly, I think a flip design will win out over time. The TREO looks like the ultimate device but it is just a little early in the birth process (poor battery life, no CDMA, etc.)
Why flip? Two of the biggest reasons are: 1) Protect the screen. 2) shorten the length of the phone.

exactly!
carl, i to love the new design of the 6035, but without more "official" info on the phone, such as if it will have the SD slot, memory, OS and stuff like that, i cant say.. the i330 is definately going to be bought when it gets here, unless the kyo geeks can release this baby sooner rather than later...
, whats wrong with us carl?? cant we just leave well enough alone??
Its like a disease Marc. SO will you buy which ever is release first? If that is the design of the new Kyo, I think I am waiting. I am NOT going to buy 2 new cells this year, that is for sure. Damn, I wish technology would slow down a bit.

im sure the 330 will be released first since we have seen more PR about it and samsung has it on their press site. but if both phones were equal, that would be a tough , tough decision... i hope i dont have to make one...

Interesting that Kyocera opted for a graffiti input area rather than follow the recent trend of using a thumbboard. I've played with the Treo 180 and the Sony NR70V and found the thumbboard to be a welcome alternative to graffiti -- Improves one-handed operation. That would be my only gripe about what I've seen so far on the Kyocera T3.
Also interesting to note, Kyocera has decided to emphasize the phone aspect of their communicator over the PDA aspect. This also goes against the grain when you consider the Thera and other emerging communicators. How're you going to set the T3 into a Think Outside keyboard (oh, I know the answer -- using a funky attachment like the one for the 6035, right?).
The SD expansion slot would be a first and could go a long way in making up for the other design issues.

Guys,
I do not have this phone yet and I can give you too many specifics, but I do know that this is a picture of the new Kyocera PDA/phone. That's about all the information that I can remember off the top of my head. I will ask around and see what other information I can find and be sure to keep everyone posted.

Can you at least confirm that the phone has a SD expansion slot???

Bad news. As of today, the i330 is not going to have any kind of expansion slot. This is pre-release information and anything can happen between now and launch. But I have been told by my Sprint PCS source that the i330 is not going to have an expansion slot.

My question was in reference to the new Kyocera Smartphone -- do you know if the production version of the phone has an SD expansion slot?

I played with the Sony a few days ago. Am I mistaken in thinking while it does have a thumboard, it also has a graffiti area? I was really impressed with the Sony.
Hey MJ, my work just got me an NR70. Needless to say, it's an awesome PDA in a remarkable form factor. Screen is magnificant and the "feel" is better than any handheld I've ever used.
It has a major, glaring problem in that there's no wireless connectivity for it. There's a Bluetooth memory stick module in Japan, as well as a Compact Flash sleeve, but from what I hear the CF sleeve won't accept 802.11 cards.

What do you think of no thumbboard?
