7135 Smartphone follow-up w. questions of my own......
What do you mean by a "full-on Palm" ? It is compatible with Palm software if that is what you mean....it has not the latest version of Palm OS ( v. 5 ) but it is sufficient for 99% of the population.
How is the GtD Outlook Add-In working for you. I thougth that I saw someplace on here that it was "buggy." I am interested in your use of it.
I am using the Nelson Email Organizer ( at
http://www.caelo.com/ ) but would consider the Outlook add-in if you really liked it since I am now begining to implement GtD. I am not syncing my Kyocera with Outlook but rather I have the Palm Version of ACT and sync. it w. my Desktop version of ACT. But I do have a question for you about HPCNotes. Even though you said that you are using it, you may be more familiar with the GtD system than I (which is probable since I am just starting to read the book).
I am planning on using HPCNotes as the anchor for my implementation of GtD .. I am only 1/3 of the way through David's book so I am no "blackbelt" user but I plan on making a Project list in HPCNotes and tracking the action steps for each project in HPC note's section for each project and then, weekly, transfering timed and untimed action steps into my ACT database calendar. What do you think?? ACT by itself is not very well suited to GtD bec. each task, in ACT, has to be linked specifically to an individual contact and that is cumbersome at times hence my need for HPCNotes.....
Yes, you can talk on the 7135 just like on a reg. phone...no ear piece is necessary. If you would like more info. on the Kyocera, go here >

If you are a good Verizon customer (long term) try to get $200. off the price of the 7135 ... they might do it IF you sign up for two years w. them and then the phone will only cost you $299....3 something w. tax. I have heard that it has been done.
Good Luck....let me know about the Outlook add-in, will you .... and what do you think of my initial approach to using GtD w. HPC Notes and ACT......
