  • Tungsten 2... The T2 is nothing like what Terminator 2 was to Terminator 1!

    Pros: 32MB RAM, universal connector, Palm OS5, improved screen.
    Cons: Price, battery life, another new Tungsten T in the near feature?

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 26, 2004
    Pros: fast, small, palm os allows for lots of freeware
    Cons: build quality, comes with docs to go 5, not 6.

    Summary: I bought this palm t2 on ebay about a year ago. I also bought a nice sena leather case with it, a must have. You can go to www.senacases.com for one yourself. I used to have a palm III, then a sony clie s320, then switched to a pocket pc with a dell ... read more

  • Tungsten T2 - 11 months later

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 24, 2004
    Pros: Reliable, Screen easy on the eyes, powerful enough for med. students and residents alike
    Cons: May turn itself on in certain cases, no virtual graffiti area, speaker is weak

    Summary: Well let me start of by saying that I bought this little sucker about 5 days after it was released... And I have not regretted it one bit. The other reviews can give you the specs on the machine, but let me tell you about my "almost year" with the T2. ... read more

  • Palm Tungsten T2 - A Lot More Palm Than Ever Before!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 18, 2004
    Pros: Looks, Palm OS 5.2.1, Collapsible Graffiti Area, Bluetooth
    Cons: Battery

    Summary: The Palm Tungsten T2 is the device that ultimately replaced the Palm Tungsten T and is a step above the Palm Tungsten E. When the Palm Tungsten T2 first came out, it was very expensive. But through gradual price drops, the Palm Tungsten ... read more

  • T2 - It's good, but I wish I bought something else instead

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 23, 2004
    Pros: Color screen and ability to add a headset are cool.
    Cons: Seems to really wear down it's battery quickly.

    Summary: I upgraded to the Palm Tugsten T2 Handheld when my 4-year old Palm V began acting up. I thought I'd be excited by the color screen and the new features - like the ability to plug in headphones and listen to books on tape or music while I was at the gym. ... read more

  • Not bad, room to improve

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 6, 2004
    Pros: *Good Software & OS *Graffiti2 works *Nice screen *Simple, yet full-featured
    Cons: *Voice recorder crashes, clips memos *On-screen writing is impractical *Folding form factor *Short battery life

    Summary: This is my first PDA. I dropped around $270 for it and I don't regret the purchase. (I am using the T2 in conjunction with David Allen's _Getting Things Done_. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in getting the most out of his time and ... read more

  • Impressive Unit - fun to play with!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 30, 2004
    Pros: Full features. Nice size and feel. Nice stylus. Documents to go works well.
    Cons: Need a better mp3 player - a freeware version. Real Player has no equalizer option.

    Summary: I must admit I was skeptical at first moving from a PocketPc to Palm OS, but I am impressed. My biggest worries were being able to use Excel and Word. PocketPC brags about being able to do this fairly seamlessly, but from what I've experienced in the ... read more

  • Excellent for high-powered students, and AWESOME with Bluetooth!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 2, 2004
    Pros: Excellent screen, great looks, good battery life, and with Bluetooth it can replace your laptop.
    Cons: No case; some under-powered apps; Graffiti 2 isn't great (but this is easily remedied!)

    Summary: For several years in college I carried a Palm V -- one cool-looking handheld. At the time it was state-of-the-art, but I hardly ever used it for a couple of reasons: the screen was hard to read, the apps were not so great, and the processor and memory ... read more

  • T3 or T2

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 16, 2003
    Pros: Cheaper than the T3
    Cons: No Graffiti-area

    Summary: No, I'm not talking about the Terminator movie, but about the Palm Tungsten T2 and T3. I assume you read some reviews of the T2, this review is just to help you pick a T2 of T3. Or if you just bought a T2, you can read this and be happy you didn't ... read more

    Pros: Cool looking. Bright screen when it works
    Cons: Battery life is terrible. It isn't reliable.

    Summary: I bought this handheld as an upgrade to my black and white Palm that I had forever. I expected a reliable handheld that had long battery life. What I got was something else. I have two problems with this handheld 1. Battery life is terrible and 2. The

    Pros: Great design.
    Cons: Digitizer drift, computer interface difficulties, unhelpful support

    Summary: Like others on the list, I have the digitizer drift problem, which is a major limitation. Since I mostly don't use the stylus to enter data it's not a horrible problem, but it is certainly a limitation. My main problems have been with the computer

    Pros: small, overall fast, nice screen.
    Cons: digitizer...

    Summary: I bought this palm after owning a palm V and the zire 71. This palm is definitely more compact (though a tad too thich...). It has a good processor that manages to handle the heavy med programs I load onto it. I agree with the comlaintsa regarding the

  • Dreaded Digitizer Drift Problem

    Nov 19, 2004
    Pros: It's great when it works
    Cons: Digitizer Drift is pervasive and irreparable.

    Summary: I received the Palm T2 as a Christmas gift last year. It was great for a very short time before the thing stopped responding accurately to the stylus. This is a known problem with the T2 and is known as "Digitizer Drift". I have used both the Palm

    Pros: Nice color screen, I liked the voice recorder, good apps.
    Cons: Quality is non-existent. Digitizer problems

    Summary: I've owned this device for about 6 months...it is now at the PalmOne repair center. The digitizing screen is whacked and no longer allows me to select anything....except for an occassion or two where it would select something that I didn't tap on with my

    Pros: Great design, look, and operating system.
    Cons: Just don't lose it.

    Summary: The Tungsten 2 is an all around beautiful piece of PDA machinery. The T2 has a beautiful dipla with a great size and ergonomic design. With the T2 not only do you get a great PDA but you get Palm's operating system which continues to outperform all

    Pros: When it works it's a great tool.
    Cons: In my case screen reliabilty.

    Summary: I have had my T2 now for 4 months. In that time I have had to send it back to Palm twice. Once after 3 weeks when the screen suddenly went blank (thought the unit was still working otherwise) and recently again as the screen once again failed; not

    Jan 2, 2004
    Pros: small size
    beautiful screen
    vast memory

    Cons: Graffiti 2 (easily remedied by using TealScript)

    Summary: The T2 has the best feature set and size of all of the current Palm models. It's the smallest of Palm's current machines, the buttons are easier to use than the other Palm machines, the memory is more than sufficient for even the most demanding user, the
