The cable I use (actually my friends use; I use a pdQ phone) is between a
Qualcomm/Kyocera thin phone and a Palm V or III. It's available at
www.kyocera-wireless.com as the "Palm Connectivity Kit". It's Kyocera now
because Qualcomm sold the handset division to Kyocera. Sprint charges $10
extra/month for data service. Before going with Sprint though I'd check
Verizon (formerly Air Touch, GTE and a few others) to see if they have data
yet.
The apps (Eudora and pdQbrowser which come with the above cable) do nothing
but standard NetLib and TCP/IP. They work with OmniSky, the above cable, on
a pdQ phone, with GSM phones and probably the Symbol devices too.
