Product Details
Description:
With 256MB of storage, the Tungsten T5 handheld from palmOne lets you carry more and do more. Word documents. Spreadsheets. PowerPoint presentations. Photos. MP3s. The works. And because it s flash memory, all that information is saved even if the power runs down when you re on the go and you don t have time to recharge or synchronize. Better yet, the stunning 320 x 480 color screen lets you see more in both landscape and portrait modes. The real beauty of the Tungsten T5 is you can transfer files and even whole folders from your desktop to your handheld, so you have what you need on the road, in a meeting, or when working from home. Even use it like a USB removable drive to work on those files on another computer. Just when you're thinking there couldn't be room for anything more, with built-in Bluetooth wireless technology you can check email and connect to the Internet on the go. All this and the Tungsten T5 still fit right in your pocket.

Strengths: Beautiful screen. Plenty of memory. Great sound. Love that it is a full screen.
Weakness: Difficult to restore palm programs from previous pda. Unstable OS. No instructions or manual on how to use the new drive mode or file transfer system. Speaker on the back of the pda. No cradle.
I upgraded from a T3 to the T5. I had a nightmare of a time restoring my info from the T3. The problem was that some of my programs were too big. I use alot of medical programs that take up alot of space. I wound up installing everything from scratch instead of restoring info by hotsyncing. I finally figured out how to use the new file transfer system which made everything so much more simple. If...

Strengths: Stylish & lightweight. Can be used as a USB drive (very cool!) and mp3 player. Internal memory, as well as card memory available. Great color and long-lasting battery.
Weakness: The T5 does not work with your accessories/adapters from the T3 or other Palms. That means having to buy all new accessories! No built-in wi-fi access.
This is a great PDA--it's the third PDA I've had in the last three years (I'm a gadget person and love the latest-greatest) and definitely the best one yet. I was a little frustrated that most of the software and peripherals that I had been using with my T3 were not compatible, but that's getting better as more software vendors port their software over to the T5 capabilities. The display looks...

Strengths: This is my first PDA. Its worth a deal.Very good battery life. Jump drive feature gr8. Word & excel docs dont require any conversion s/w. Hot sync very good. Hand writing tool very good. Great looks
Weakness: In particular no weakness. I did not consider Wifi as my criteria so no probs for me. But then this PDA has lot of flexibility. I dont think it has any weakness.
Great deal for the price. this PDA is very versatile to use. The processing speed is very good. It has very good file transfer feature. Easy to use. It can be used as a jump drive. The best part is that the hot sync feature exchanges info between your PC and PDA so both devices are in sync with each other. The PDA has good resolution. Sound quality is good for the speaker of the size of PDA. It...

Palm T5
Strengths: Fits in shirt pocket, larger screen which is nice for things like spread sheets
Weakness: Does not alway work, software hangs up, connector is weak.
I had a Palm M500 for about 4 years and decided to upgrade only for the color. I had discovered that the engineers that I work with did not use their PDAs when because their’s did not fit into their pocket. I was always the one to have my PDA handy in meetings and available for retrieving phone numbers and data. I use it for scheduling by syncing with MS Outlook. This is the best thing ever. I...

Strengths: Slick design. Excellent screen. Easy navigation. Fast.
Weakness: Expensive
Very nice product. The processor is fast, good for games as well as word processing and spread sheets. Nice graphics with a high resolution. Excellent sound quality. Although capable, not practical to be used as MP3 player since it drains the battery. Good memory available to store files and pictures. The MMC/SD card slot is very hany and practical to transfer files, but even better, it can be...
