Tungsten T3 : Three Strikes and then a Home Run?! Maybe Not.

byyusakugo Nov 1, 2003

71 Helpfuls 72 Helpfuls

Pros The screen, the specs on paper, overall design, software extras, 64MB of memory

Cons T3's actual speed, little expensive, SD card issue, battery life short

Recommended it? Yes

I know... I know... If I'm so happy with my Tungsten C, why did I buy the Tungsten T3? Well, the screen... the screen on the T3 was the deal sealer... no doubt about that.

Cons Pain in the butt power button

Recommended it? Yes

I've owned a Palm Tungsten T since it's initial release last year and while I've loved it for the most part, I definitely couldn't resist the new T3 model since it covered the only major flaw that I had found with the original T: the meager 16MB RAM built-in.

Pros Powerful, WiFi and Bluetooth enabled and nice display

Cons Battery life could use to be better

Recommended it? Yes

I have used a couple of different PDA's at work to help me carry important reference materials that I use. I am a computer repair specialist for a medium size manufacturing company and I have a lot of information that I have refer back to. Most of this information is contained in MS Excel or MS...
