    She said: PDAs are brilliant if you need to keep track of your life and those around you writes Debbie Davies . Gone are the days this is just for businesses and girls trying to keep track of their lives. Schools are buying PDAs in large numbers for teachers to use for pupil registration as part of their battle against truancy. I found the stylus works as well as a mouse for repetitive data entry, although less well if you want to write. The additional memory makes the... Read more

    For once, palmOne hasn't quite got the balance right between cost and compromise. There's plenty of memory and a large screen, but the lack of Wi-Fi or even a docking cradle diminish its appeal. Read more

  4. PalmOne Tungsten T5

    Reviewer: T3
    30 November 2005

    For a brand-spanking-new PDA, the Tungsten T5 looks somewhat retro - or at least it does to those who remember the old Palm V. This model, like last year's successful Tungsten E, takes pretty much all of its design cues from that old favourite. Read more

  5. palmOne Tungsten T5: Mixture as Before

    Reviewer: iXBT Labs
    14 February 2006

    palmOne disappointed even its fans with the new model. Quite a contrary move was expected from this company — a worthy answer to the new wave of Pocket PC with VGA displays. New OS version (Cobalt), built-in WiFi module. But we get a regular Palm device instead, incompatible with a noticeable part of old software, with a built-in memory drive, which is erased at hard reset. This device is frankly weak. For the sum of money, which palmOne wants to get from customers,... Read more

    It is the worst handheld I have ever used. I have owned two previous Palm models and have owned a Blackberry. I have owned the Tungsten T for less than a year and have replaced the cradle three times and the handheld three times. Technical support calls take at least 30 minutes and I've wasted a lot of time because of "procedure" that needs to be followed (e.g. doing a hard reset, when you have already told them that you already did a hard reset). Finally, the functions... Read more

  3. The Tungsten T5 is an acquired taste

    I've had my T5 for about a year and a half by now. I bought it for its convenient size, applications and features that were just perfect for a professor like me. I could create lesson plans, record grades, save files, view presentations, as well as keep personal picture files and music. However, I almost went berserk when they launched the LifeDrive 3 weeks after my purchase. For just another $100 I could have gotten the integrated WiFi access, 4GB memory and other... Read more

    When the touch screen went out on my old Palm Tungsten T5, I tried to get by with just the apps on my cell phone. They just do not have the sophistication I'm used to with a PDA. This rebuilt unit is the answer for me. Read more
