Advantages: small, fast, sexy, best palm ever
Disadvantages: relatively high price

...I never thought I would make the case for a palm handheld from 3com. I used to be a dedicated Ipaq fan but got increasingly disappointed with it. So I decided to take a bold step and try out the new Palm Tungsten. In one word: AMAZING! I will compare, wherever possible the Tungsten with the Ipaq. Note that I am comparing the new Tungsten with my previously owned Ipaq 3850. For exact specifications of both PDA's I refer you to the www.palm.com and www.compaq.com Look and feel I always found the Ipaq sexy, but it is still a bit bulky. The Palm is not much lighter (6.2 oz vs 5.6 oz for the palm), but much smaller (length 4'' vs 5'' for the Ipaq). This is due to the fact that the bottom slides open to reveal the grafiti writing area. The garfite colored aluminium casing feels much more sturdy than the aluminium looking, though plastic...

...I purchased the tungsten T2 this christmas for my self online and have found it a valuable companione for these reasons: Vale for money When i origonaly puchases the T2 it cost me £200 reduced from £250 witch I belive is good value for money in comparison to what else you could get at the time. It is know availbe for £170 witch is fantastic value. Memory This model come with 32Mb of RAM witch is not as good as some modeals out their offer 64Mb and after your operating systeam is loaded you effectivly have 30Mb.

...BACKGROUND ******************** I am a bit of a gadget nerd. I love gadgets. When I see one I don't need, I'll find excuses to need one. I started a new job few months back, and I saw one of my workmate pluggin a PDA to a craddle everyday, until the day I asked him about it. When he showed me, I thought that was really cool, and I wanted one. I bloody hardly knew about PDAs!!! Anyway, I searched for the same as his, a Palm Tungsten T3, but it was apparently discontinued... SO I started a painstaking search for the new gadget of my dreams (needs): A PDA. Ta da da... After a few weeks browsing around, I came to the conclusion that the cheapest and apparently most suitable for my needs was the Tungsten E2, that I bought from Pixmania.com (reviewed by me in previous episodes, check it out...). LOOKS ************ It is a PDA... Read review

Disadvantages: Battery life, ugly interface, sounds like a dying giraffe sometimes

...hours, that's very dissapointing since the Palm is not that fast. I am glad it's not a pacemaker. So flaws aside what can this piece of technology do? Well you can view your pictures with it, you can edit your Office Word/Excel/Powerpoint files on it, listen to MP3s, watch videos, take quick notes, organise your day, surf the internet (when it has internet access) and read ebooks with it. All this straight out of the box without purchasing extra software. There are also games on the device and emulators that let you play console games i.e. Gameboy Advance, so that's very tempting (you must own game to be legally allowed to play it on the Palm) but they will need downloading or purchasing. This device really is a mini box of tricks, I actually wrote this review on my Tungsten E before uploading it here. Not to shabby don't you think... Read review

Advantages: Great new pda!!!
Disadvantages: none!!!

...Everyone likes a good sequel. Whether it's the sequel to a blockbuster movie, the follow-up to a bestselling novel, or the upgraded version of a handheld computer, nothing beats a "bigger, better" version of the original. And so it is with Palm's new Tungsten T2 handheld, the successor to its Tungsten T handheld released last October. With an upgraded version of the Palm operating system, twice the memory, added Java support, and a brighter color display, the T2 has everything found in the original T, and more. But the big news is its price: £399. That's £100 less than what the original Tungsten T debuted at back in October. The reason for the lower price is simple: sales history. Sales of the T were slow at £499, decent at £399, and good at £349. So Palm is making the wise move of starting the T2 off at £399. Form... Read review

Advantages: Fast, huge storage capabilities, wireless internet, great software, easy to use....
Disadvantages: Mono audio

...I have been using the Palm Tungsten C for 6 months with exceptional performance and quality. I will convey to you, in my opinion, what I believe are the most important features of the device. -> Design To look at the Tungsten C is very sleek. To accomodate the full qwerty keyboard the screen is not the full size of the device but roughly two thirds. The screen is cystal clear and provides exceptional colour even with high definition digital photos. The device is very slim at only just over 1cm thick. There is a slot down one side to keep your included metal stylus, and the other side has a slot for the removable screen protector. At the top of the device is a SD card slot, the infa-red port and a mono (small scale) headphone/microphone aperture. To the bottom is the universal connector which is used for charging and connecting... Read review

Advantages: A neat unit with lots of applications
Disadvantages: None

...The Palm Tungsten is a sleek cool looking handheld with a vast array of features that are going to suit the majority of users. It comes with most of these features pre-loaded, but there are more on the provided CD which also contains the software to enable synchronization with your PC or Mac. Also provided in the box are several power adaptors which will make in rechargeable almost worldwide. Although the unit comes with Bluetooth there is also an additional cable supplied which will link your Palm to your computer for the transfer of data. I have found through experience that the cable method is definitely significantly quicker compared with the Bluetooth, but again each to their own. One thing I have noticed is that the lifespan of the internal rechargeable lithium battery is greatly improved from previous... Read review
