Virtually everything works to my expectations on my Kyocera 7135, 
running PalmOS 4.  Unfortunately, it's getting worn out now, and Kyocera 
never made a follow-up device.  I'm not looking forward to getting a 
Treo to replace it.  I prefer this thing.  It doesn't do EVDO or 
Bluetooth, but it basically does everything else, including taking 
pictures and playing MP3s.  And I'm a bit of a klutz at times, and 
dropping a clamshell phone like my 7135 does a lot less damage than 
dropping a dove-bar phone like the Treo.  But, in any case, I can highly 
recommend PalmOS as a smartphone OS.  I've used Windows Mobile, and it 
doesn't hold a candle to PalmOS.
