Whats the fuss - go on do it!!  |
What can I say great product, great features, great software, I have been a Palm user for over 5 years and have had a tungsten T for about a year, which I have loved and have even successfully moved some of my colleagues away from their PocketPCs. The Tungsten T3 is a good step foward, great screen really useful for extra long documents, slideshows and pdf documents, email is a bit tricky (needs more work or a better application) however everything else is good, bluetooth worked a treat as it did with my old TT and got browsing with GPRS within 5 mins, Indeed moving from my TT to T3 took all of 3 mins, by pressing the button on my cradle all appointments and software (bar some of the older ones) copied across in one easy step, very neat! Just to answer the other review about digitiser problems, I have had no such problems with any of my Palms even the old 3s, any issues were due to over use whilst in my pocket or briefcase!! These were easily resolved by recalibrating the digitizer through the preferences/Digitizer menu. In Summary a great product with useful features and solid performance with non of the microsoft stability issues.

top piece of kit |
I am not the type to normally write a review of a product but I am so pleased with the T3 i thought would tell others cosidering buying one what a top piece of kit it is. This is my first PDA
and so have no point of reference but this machine is great. When I decided to get a PDA I did some research and ended up with a choice between this and the HPIPAQ 2110 and am extremely pleased with my choice.I use it for so much i dont know what i did before. My advise get one (and you dont need to be a high flying business person to need one, want one, or use one)A flooring contractor from the north of England

T3 beats 2210 into fourth place  |
First I had an iPAQ 2210 - it kept falling over and handwriting recognition was very unreliable with font size keeping shifting. Then I had a T3. It hasnt fallen over once yet. The integration of software packages is not a patch on the iPAQ, but because it isnt Windows based it actually works. All the bits dont quite link up but it feels robust in a way the flashier 2210 just did not. And the diary is really quite good and friendly. For example if you put a time in it doesnt randomly change the finishing time to some time the next day, like the 2210 did. And synchronisation of documents actually synchronises them in situ, unlike the iPAQ system where you have to put copies of all your docs in a new folder called My Pocket PC. Mind you, you could buy Docs to Go for Windows and get the same effect I guess, but why pay more?I have to agree about Versamail though - it really is complicated. Palm and co could learn from HP here......... All I want to do is synch at home and work for diary and email in two accounts - search me how you achieve it. And the website is not great; the support is Ok, but a bit - "heres the URL, just read it." So come on Palm/3rd parties: make an easy to use system for emails that work on Palm. Beyond Contacts does not fulfil this function, sadly, as you cannot synch with 2 accounts as I (and, I would imagine, most of the world) need to do. But as a handheld,I know where my loyalties now lie - not with Mr Gates and his ilk.
