Does this phone exist?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I'm sure I know the answer but I'll ask anyway. I am looking for a
relatively economical cell phone that is both a phone & a Palm Pilot. I
know something like the Treo is very much out of my price range but I am
only looking for those two features (phone & Palm). I don't care if I can
check email or even have any web access, cameras, Bluetooth, or any of that
stuff. Does such an anima exist?

Just curious: Does this phone support T9 Data Entry and "Get it now" ?

Yep.. However, you know how they have a "do not call" list? They also have a
"do not SELL" list, and from what I understand, your name is on it...

Widely available on eBay for far less than $600......

One must also factor in the term "relatively" economical - compared to other
PDA/phone combos, the 7135 fits that term quite nicely....

I got a new 7135 from VZW for $200 (extending my agreement for 2 years).
Not too shabby. Got the warranty which you do not get from eBay...

I recently cracked the screen on my Motorola v60c, so I'm looking for something
like this too. I like the Palm platform and an integrated phone would mean
I'd be able to actually sync my phonelist, because I'm a Linux desktop user.
I'm not terribly interested in using it for e-mail, WAP, camera, (well,
I am interested in using it for SMS).

The prices I'm seeing for the 7135 are a bit out of my price range.
The Kyocera QCP 6035 seems like an ideal phone for me and they seem to
be plentiful on eBay for around $50. Aside from being bulky, are there
technical limitations that one should be aware of? Anyone know
