Summary: What a PDA SHOULD Be!
Review: If you don't know what Bluetooth is yet, you soon will.I have used Casio's, COMPAQ IPAQs, the Palm III, and the Palm Vx, and a Sharp Zauras (check that spelling) and this is the best PDA I've owned so far. And....if you own a Sony-Ericcson T68i cell phone, this is the PDA for you. With a CORDLESS Bluetooth headest on my ear, and my phone on my belt, I can sit in the airport, and work on my Palm, surf the web using my phone as a modem via the Bluetooth, and when I want to make a call, I do it by finding the contact on the Tungsten, then initiating the call with the dialer on the Tungster. For those that want a smart phone like the Treo 300 at times, but want just a regular phone at others, the combination can't be beat. It's the best of both worlds.

Summary: What can I say, I love it!
Review: This is a great pda. I had the m130, and this upgrade is great. The color is sharp and the screen is much easier to read. Now all I need is a Bluetooth phone to try them all out. The features I have tried are nice and work very smoothly. The only drawback is that I wish it was easier to get to the main menu when the slide is closed (i.e. from the address book). You can usually do it, but it is a difficult trick. I searched the internet and found a great deal and am very happy.

Summary: I gave up my Palm V for this one.
Review: Finally, a PDA worthy to replace my old Palm V! The color screen is so sharp and bright, and the processor is so fast -- I'm delighted. It's noticeably heavier and slightly thicker than my Palm V, but shorter (when closed) and less wide. It took me a couple days to get used to using it with the slider closed. If you have a Bluetooth phone, this is definitely the Palm you want. Surf the web during boring meetings! I can sync with my Mac over Bluetooth too, so I didn't need a second cradle for my office. I don't care about having mp3's on my Palm, unlike some other reviewers. I still think that the V has the best design of any Palm ever. But this is certainly beautiful and I love the display and Bluetooth. When the new Ultra-thin keyboard is available, I'll have a complete mobile web and email solution that weighs under a pound (including cell phone).

Summary: Hmmm
Review: Why is everyone making such a big deal about the screen? Sonys had 320 by 320 16 bit color screens since 1999, and you dont hear them bragging. Alot of them have even had MP3 players built in, and two of them have video/photo cameras built in. All of them have Memory Stick slots, not only the higher priced ones like palm does. Sony was also the first to use USB connections too. They were the first to intergrate 33 mhz and 66mhz processers. They have been revolutionizing the handheld industry for 3 years. This palm Tungsten T may have a nice screen, but its nothing new, so they have no bloating rights.

Summary: Palm Tungsten T Handheld - Excellent
Review: This is a great PDA which blows away any earlier version of the Palm. Since Palm OS 5.0 is still brand new, make sure that any software you use on your current Palm is compatible with Palm OS 5.0 before you commit to the product. This is an excellent compact unit which compares well to the new Sony's. Of course, Sony has a larger screen but this is at the expense of durability and size. I'd strongly recommend the Palm Tungsten T as a solid, proven and well supported sales tool.

Summary: we asked, Palm listened; Behold the Tungsten T
Review: If my desktop computer is Goliath, the palm Tungsten T is king David. With 16 mb of ram, a paper white crisp new screen, and an enhanced speaker that can wake up my suite mate a room away, Palm's new machine is something I'm very excited about. Never before has palm introduced so many innovations at once. The first thing anyone notices before even using the Tungsten is that it has a 5 way navigator button set in the middle of the four hardware buttons. I have gotten accustomed to it with only minutes of use, and all I can say is that this button is very nice. It allows one handed access to any application, and with the palm apps like address book and memopad, I can scroll through files and open them, all with a single finger. By pressing and holding the center of the button, I can power the unit on and browse applications. Imagine being at a stop light with a burger in one hand. You could easily look up a phone number using the other hand and the navigator button. How about that for making ur life easier! Forget the stylus for simple tasks from now on!
The second most obvious hardware innovation is the sliding mechanism that alternatively covers and uncovers the graffiti area to give the user the option of making the unit ultra compact when access to the graffiti area isn't necessary. Nice touch, in my opinion and also a design necessity for Palm since including the navigator button and an open grafitti area would have otherwise made the unit larger then its parents. Palm has also made itself head to head with the Sony clie' by including superior audio input and output. The Tungsten comes with a well made microphone to record voice notes. You even have the option of recording the notes directly to the expansion card, which gives you hours of recorded notes on a single expansion card.

Summary: Great product - astonishing screen
Review: I just tried the Palm Tungsten today. It's great - very fast, loading instantaneously all screens and menus. The simplicity of the Palm OS with the power of the new Texas processor, new color screen, and a stylish design. I saved my photos on a 128 Mb SD card, and when I looked at them I got fascinated - the resolution is so great that you can use the Palm to show your pictures to everybody. It's really hard to identify the dots on the screen. I know that Sony has PDA's with this screen, but unfortunately Sony went into the proprietary Memory Stick. I have a HP notebook, a Minolta camera Dimage X, and now a Palm Tungsten - all using a SD memory card, which will surely be the dominant design for memory cards - they are the size off a stamp. OK, the Tungsten may be pricier, but the reliability of Palm (I had a Palm V for 3 and half years) is great. I would go for a Sony if its PDA used SD cards. No way of going from Palms to PocketPCs - went it comes to PDAs, simpler is better. Negative points: Palm should had included a MP3 player, and the Tungsten is a little heavier (if compared to a Palm V)

Summary: I true Palm Revolution
Review: There are a number of reviews on the 'Net already about this much-anticipated device, and I won't claim to make yet another. Just some interesting observations from a week of ownership: 1) I have found only a single program (Skyscape 5-minute clinical consultant) that does not like OS 5. All others so far work like a charm, including LOTS of medical software. 2) While the OS itself really is not much different, the processor has really revolutionized the Palm handhelds. Example: using Tabers medical dictionary on my m505 was a chore, and looking up a word often took >30 seconds. Now I write in real time and get word lookups in 1-2 seconds. 3) My handwriting recognition (Graffiti) is MARKEDLY improved over the m505. 4) The screen is UNBELIEVABLE! Fantastic, useable under all lighting conditions. 5) The battery life is just fine. I do recharge nightly, but I use it a good 2 hours each day, with the backlight at 50% all the time, and rarely get to below a 70% charge. 6) The sliding design is very sturdy. Also, it just FEELS much better in my hands. 7) The D-pad is a huge improvement, and I think more than makes up for Sony's Jog Dial. 8) Voice recording feature is very nice. 9) Does not come with mp3 software built-in, though word is that Real will be releasing an mp3 player for Palm in the coming weeks that will be available free. 10) Only gripe is that Versamail STILL does not synch e-mail with my Mac... 11) Palm has all but said that this device will be OS6 upgradable, which you can't bank on from the Sony products. Buy one, you will definitely not be disappointed.

Summary: Best PDA I've Had
Review: After having a BlackBerry for going two years, a Palm Vx, Ipaq Pocket PC and flirting with micro laptops (Fujitsu LifeBook P) I've finally found a gadget that suits what I really wanted all along. The sliding design makes this portable in a practical way (unlike my Ipaq), useful in an instant (unline a micro laptop) and the feel while handling is superb. The very best part though is the color and compatability with most of the old Palm apps. I had this thing up and surfing the net through my Ericsson T68 bluetooth phone in a snap. The included apps are sufficient to get started, though not quite as plentiful as ship with the Ipaq CD. The only thing missing right now is 802.11 capability, but with bluetooth and a phone you can be up anywhere GPRS phone service is available. The Tungsten doesn't try to pose as a junior PC, but it doesn't need to, it can stand on its own.

Summary: The BMW of PDAs!
Review: As a computer geek and a person who really enjoys PDAs, I had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Palm's new ARM-based line of handhelds. When the Tungsten T hit the market, I was enthralled. It looked like a fascinating product, and I decided it was finally time to upgrade. While the price tag is a bit high, in my opinion the money I spent on the TT all went to a worthy cause. This model has a beautiful high-resolution color screen. It's also screamingly fast, and I have certainly noticed a difference in speed from my old Palm Vx. I like to use hefty database-type applications such as Pilot-DB and BibleReader, so the added speed is a great benefit to me. It also has great sound, and I look forward to having more multi-media software for this thing. It is not disappointing at all! One of the neatest improvements over older models is that it has become very possible to use all of the included PalmOS apps (such as DateBook, AddressBook, etc) with one hand using just the multi-directional D-Pad. While at first the dimensions of the TT might seem odd, it feels very comfortable in one's hand. It has a bit more heft to it than my old Vx, and while thicker is much shorter and slimmer. It feels more substantial, which I like. Now for the drawbacks! Being so new, there is unfortunately lots of old software for earlier Palms that seems to have problems. While most of my favorites moved over to PalmOS 5 and the ARM architecture without problem, a few of them have failed to work correctly. Among these are AvantGo and Quickoffice. However, it seems more common for software to work as expected. DateBK5, Space Trader, iSilo, Pilot-DB, and many others work as expected. Oh yes, and old PalmOS hacks which worked with HackMaster and X-Master also no longer work. Most of the drawbacks will undoubtedly be solved in a matter of time. I am very pleased with my purchase, and certainly think that the Tungsten T is worthy of its five stars.
