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

byyusakugo Nov 1, 2003
71 Helpfuls 72 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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. If you're remotely interested in PDAs, the screen will severely tempt you although the price may back you off a bit. I am... Read full review »

T3 - No Ahhnold but Still a Worthy Sequel

bykenshin27 Oct 19, 2003

Pros Super screen, portrait/landscape mode, full-screen writing, 64MB RAM, fast processor,...
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. The 64MB (52MB actual) capacity of the... Read full review »

I fell in love with the idea of an E-Book reader when I saw a friend using her Kindle to read a newspaper. I've wanted one ever since, but the price always made it prohibitive. Still, I've been looking at both the Kindle and Sony eBook reader for awhile. This past Valentine's day, I came across a... Read full review »

byivplay Jan 24, 2011
27 Helpfuls 28 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Format friendly, expandable memory, and good size and weight
Cons Many complain of the glare and recommend trading up to the 650
Recommended it? Yes

I have researched and thought about buying an eReader for some time now, and had just about convinced myself that I was going to buy a Nook when I came into possession of a PRS-600 by unfortunate circumstances. My grandmother recently passed, and when she did so she left a PRS-600, less than a year... Read full review »
