I just received the latest HandHeld Computing Magazine Dec02/Jan03 in the mail. There is a great 3 page review (pg46-4 of everyones most anticipated product. I am pretty sure its the same article that was published on their website several weeks ago. The review is good, no additional information we don't know already. No release dates mentioned. Overall product review was an "A".

Yep... and they have the Treo 300 with a grade of "B", which I agree with compared to the 7135.

Robert:
I am very interested to see your side by side comparison when the 7135 is released. I have faith you'll be carrying both around for all field experiments. I am still walking the fine line of whether or not to purchasing a 300. Congrats on 1600 posts.

I will definitely do a comparison between the two!

Originally posted by marctronixx the treo really has nothing on the 7135. i dont expect even rob to carry around both... ok.. ill give him a day or two, but thats it..
and, we sprint folks may not see this phone until later and by that time, almost every phone will be tested against the 7135..
Yeah.... my comparison will be based on past experience since I will have to give CC my Treo to get my 7135!

I guess the good news would be that they say end of 2002 and not mid-2003.
In the printed article they state that it is a Verizon phone and do not mention Sprint.
I'm also guessing/hoping that they did not do something right or the demo phone they had was not functioning correctly to be draining the battery without any activity. Maybe one of our testers can clarify this for us.
Originally posted by jrosaly Where do you see this on the article? it actually doesn't mention any carriers, all it says is:
"We tested on a high-speed wireless data network (CDMA 1xRTT), but it was unclear which provider would be carrying the phone. "

I just got around to reading the 11/18/02 issue of Network World Magazine. In that article they have a slightly different write up and list Verizon as its carrier.
from the article:
"but unfortunately, the keypad does not illuminate, so making calls in the dark is not always easy."
I wonder how this could have been left out...it seems to me like a basic feature of most phones. I wonder in the screen will cast enough like onto the keypad to make the keys more visible.

They erred. It's user-definable. I have it set to last 30 seconds after I start the dialer or a call comes in. Works fine.
Yeah... if the dialpad was not backlit it would be the first phone I've ever heard of without one... I don't know how they screwed that up in the article.
