PalmOne Tungsten T3 Handheld Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Its getting dated.. but sure does the job
Comment: One of the reason I do not let goi ts voice recording capability.. I can live without the wi-fi, but not without the voice recording.

I see that this recording feature does not come in the recient models and that is a shame.. also, this device can accomodate for a camera add-on which is imposible to find.. so, yes it has its limitations but is more faithful tha Lassie

Summary: Awesome PDA!
Comment: I just love this PDA. It's the only fast model from PAlm to feature voice recorder, which is fundamental for me cause I tape my classes at the uni. The mic is just good enough for that and voice memos.
The palm is fast enough to be able to play crystal-clear mp3s and also movies (if you care to recompress and watch it a tiny screen).
I also bought a GPS for less than 90 U$S and now mount the PDA in my car for GPS navigation. I just saved $200~400 on a GPS! :D
You can also load it with games and lots of interesting software, and the accessories are inexpensive to boot.
The only things that I don't like are:
Collapsible design (seems floppy)
Screen brightness (can't see much in direct sunlight)
Battery autonomy (not enough)

Luckily you can remedy the battery thing by buying a car adapter and/or the Power-To-Go, a sleek external battery that works like a charm :D

If you see one of these cheap, grab it!

Summary: More than 3 years of faithful service!
Comment: All,

This it the more reliable PDA I've ever owned and I've owned many starting with a Pilot. I've owned everything from HP iPAQs and Jornada 728s and this is the one I kept, while selling the rest. 'Nuff said!

Summary: Mine Died
Comment: My Tungsten T# just died. It is in a forzen state. It will not reboot or even turn off. It is just over a year old and I am now looking for a new PDA.

Summary: Palm T3 disaster
Comment: I was about to write my miserable experience in agonizing detail, until I found that others have traveled the same path. It is a pity that a product that has come so far was (in my case, also) mercilessly deserted by its maker in the clinches - in this case a hotsync failure that eventually destroyed not only the data stored in the handheld but also the backups of those data that were religiously placed on the "official"
Secure File PDA Backkup SD card. I am now laboriously retrieving my "essential" passwords (and from now forward keeping copies on the old reliable - PAPER!) It may interest others that I tried the path of logging my problem with an internet chat-group hosted by Google that is focussed on T3 hotsync problems, where I found lots of company, but no answers after waiting several weeks. The best information I have found by far is that in the group in which I am now participating. What a pity! I do not have a beef with the product - even a Rolls has been known to miss a beat occasionally. I do have a serious beef with the maker. But, heck - even GM can screw up, so why not Palm? Where do I go from here? My T3 makes a rather mediocre paper-weight.
