    Upgrade from Palm Vx

    By Wando Red  May 14, 2003 | 34 out of 34 found this Palm Tungsten C review helpful

    I have been waiting for a Wi-Fi ready PDA for a while. I was just about to buy an HP when i saw the Palm Tungston C. I made the right choice with the Tung-c. The battery will last 2 days while sending about 50 emails and checking scores on the web ov...er a wi-fi network. The screen is great and the size is perfect. I have been using palm since it was 3com and i think they are best. I wish they would improve the software to work better with MS-Outlook but that is a minor irritant. The Hot sync over the wi-fi is the best part. I hate those cradles. It also comes packed with all the software you could need at work. Dont be afraid of the keyboard. You can still write graffiti on the screen if you want. For all those people out there waiting for the perfect palm to make that long postponed upgrade, this is the one. Read more Less

    Worth the Money

    By StevenL  Oct 5, 2003 | 4 out of 4 found this Palm Tungsten C review helpful

    Pros: User Friendly, Great Battery, Tons of Memory

    Cons: Screen Damages Easily, Software Compatability

    I bought a Tungsten C about four months ago, and it was possibly my best electonic purchase ever. This is a leap ahead of the other PDAs I tried out, and I recommend it to anyone who spends a great deal of time in a WI-FI environment. The cons are ...that the screen is sensitive (I broke the first one, and had to use the store replacement plan, which I HIGHLY recommend), and much of the software available at Palm was not yet compatable with the Tungsten C. Other than that, however, it is well worth the money. Read more Less

    Well-Connected Handhelds

    New wireless PDAs and cell phones put the Web, e-mail, and more in your pocket. We road-test ten models and find two with real Net savvy.We marveled at the very first Palm handhelds because they stored so much information, made data entry easy with a touch screen and stylus, and, best of all, synchronized with our desktop contact managers. Since then, screens have gotten nicer, cases have gotten skinnier, and Microsoft has gotten into the act--but in many respects personal digital assistants haven't changed a lot over the years. For many users, they're still primarily electronic organizers, enhanced by software that lets one edit a spreadsheet or play a game. But in the last year or so, advances in processors and other electronics have given rise to a whole new breed of connected handhelds--powerful devices that send and receive data over wireless networks, and others that double as cell phones.

    Brighthand Reviews the Palm Tungsten C

    This device sets a new standard for high-end Palm OS models. It offers features no Palm OS model ever has before and is easily comparable to high-end Pocket PC devices that cost more. Any company looking to arm its employees with handhelds should seriously consider the Tungsten C. People looking for a handheld for their personal use might be unhappy with the lack of stereo audio but this model is head and shoulders above other Palm OS models in many other areas. Read more
