I have a working Kyocera 6035 Palm smart phone that works with
Verizon, I am looking to swap this for the Sprint version of the same
phone.

That's incorrect. Sprint sold the Kyocera 6035 for more than a year after
it came out. In fact, a bunch of folks spoke of getting the MSL for the
cheaper Sprint version and moving it over to Verizon. I have seen 6035's in
person with Sprint logo on them.

All this person has to do is find an original Sprint 6035 so they can
activate that on Sprint. We all know Sprint won't activate another carriers
phone, but they should activate an older Tri-mode Sprint phone.

Go to ebay, query on Sprint 6035. i.e.

Thanks a lot Bob! But I meant is it possible to use SIM card of a
Canadian operator like Bell with this phone? or it is locked to
Sprint? I'm currently in London, UK and will move to Toronto. I cannot
afford to pay for roaming rate all the time!

IIRC Bell Mobility in canada uses CDMA phones. No SIM cards in those.
Can anyone confirm whether Bell is using R-UIM? The Sprint phones are
locked to Sprint, but the unlock code is given by Sprint the second time
the phone is programmed. Unlocking the phone doesn't automatically make
the handset work with Bell, esp with data services. You may need a
firmware update from Bell, the availability of which would also
guarantee the phone's availability from Bell Mobility directly.
