I love dogs and look after them when their owners go on holiday. I used to show my own dog "Gemma" in Obedience and now help others with their training. I am also a qualified coach in the sport of Tenpin Bowling.

I bought a brand new "T" to replace my Palm Vx which had done me a good turn but was beginning to play up. I loved the "T" right from the start, it was fast in its work, small for my handbag or pocket and did all the usual things like Date Book, Contacts, etc and one press on the Hot sync button on the cradle and all my Word and Excel documents and notes prepared on the go were transferred seamlessly to my home PC using the Documents to Go programme which came in the box. Photos downloaded from my PC are very good on the bright colour screen. Voice recorder is good too, but I soon changed the button on the side to "Date Book" for I often found the unit recording by itself having obviously touched the button by mistake on picking up the unit. Then after two years things began to go wrong, first thing I noticed was that the screen had "slipped", a tap with the stylus produced the wrong result! This meant redigitizing the screen, firstly now and again then more and more often until had to do it every time I switched the unit on. Then one morning I switched on and nothing would work, fortunately I Hot sync every night so all my data was saved, so I tried a soft reset and all was OK for a while, apart from the screen still kept slipping. Then one day i switched on and the whole thing looked back at me blankly, not a sign of life at all and yes it had been charging on the cradle all night as usual. I tried a soft reset to no avail. This time I had to do a hard reset which worked but the unit was back at square one just as it came out of the box, which was only to be expected, with heart in mouth I did a Hot sync making sure I had changed the settings to make the PC overwrite the handheld this one time and Phew everything transferred back to the "T" and all was well, or so I thought. Yesterday, I turned on to find it all blank again! Hard reset again and nail biting hot sync later followed by the obligatory tap on the reset button gave me a bright screen with "Palm Powered" in the centre but nothing else and I couldn't even turn off the unit! I thought maybe it just needed more time to reset itself but three hours later it was still in the same state. It took three attempts at a Hard Reset to get it back to square one AGAIN! This time all the preloaded programmes have disappeared too, whether I can get them back using the CD provided I have yet to find out.
In conclusion, a brilliant little PDA when brand new, but watch out for those first niggly signs of things going wrong after about 2 years and anybody thinking about buying a second hand one from an unknown source, then BUYER BEWARE.
