Yup it was clunkier, it put a mouthpiece under the palm (whereas the visor 
has one built in doesn't it?). Made it much thicker and longer. Bit shit 
all round really  =)

I can't seem to find them on the Kyocera site, so maybe not.

I'm in with Martin though, having to cart around mobile & Palm is a pain, 
but at least mine can IR each other...
My girlfriend despaired when I found out how to surf on the Palm via 
IR  =)  It looks even sadder than it sounds...
