My new issue of eWeek has a very favorable review of the 7135. There was very little in the way of new info but the tactile response is welcome.

From the review: "However, the 7135's expansion card slot does not support SDIO (Secure Digital Input/Output), which is required for peripherals such as Toshiba America Inc.'s Bluetooth SD card."

I thought the 7135 did support SDIO?? Maybe its just a mistake on the reviewer's part?

It was confirmed in another thread that it was a mistake.

A mistake on the part of the journalist.

who says because some anonymous post on another thread supercedes an eweek reviewer? I don't think I trust either one at this point.

Anonymous post? It was confirmed by HoTSynC, a well respected member and beta tester! That's good enough for me

Hi,
In your article on the Nov. 4 issue of Eweek tittled "Smart Phone Doesn't Hang Up PDA Features", were you review the Kyocera 7135 article, you state that the SD/MMC slot on the phone does not support SDIO cards such as Toshiba's Bluetooth card, which is an incorrect statement, since it does support SDIO, as verified on beta test units. Just a friendly note to correct that remark, as I see that this was the only negative remark you had about the phone. Great review.

Jorge L. Rosaly

yeah seems it was confirmed a couple of times by other beta folks that the 7135 supports sdio...

According to the latest issue of eWeek, "KYOCERA DEVICE COMBINES BEST OF PALM OS HANDHELD, WIRELESS CDMA HANDSET BUT DOESN'T SUPPORT SDIO". Say it isn's so!

Gary Walborn

ok.... It isn't so!

We've covered this in other threads and confirmed that the article is incorrect.
Welcome to the board! :drink1

yeah read this thread...

:b_hot

The "Stuff" magazine for this month has a piece in it about the 7135. The bad news is it is listed at 600.00. I hope this is the no carrier price. It is a good rip on the comedian Chevy Chase.

how come you didnt make it to the get-together today trex?

Worked Overtime today. Got to save for that phone when it eventually comes out.

i understand... you can make it up to us on the next one...

Another article.. It's small but its mentioned in the popular science website:
