Digital camera reviews of PalmOne Tungsten T Handheld
Digital camera Review: It's Great When It's Working
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had my Tungsten T for about 3 years. I would have replaced it long ago, but I had not budgeted to replace this thing the first year I had it.
The main issue is the digitization. It goes out of calibration after every entry. A most frustrating and time-wasting behavior.
When I first got the unit and it was still in warranty I had it "repaired" twice and replaced with a "refurbished" unit once. The problem never went away. To add insult to injury, when I received the refurbished unit ( the last iteration before I fell off the Palm support radar screen), it was missing the four screws that hold the case together. Palm wouldn't do anything about it - the warranty period had expired, they couldn't just send me the screws, but I could pay to have it repaired. Talk about getting screwed. Thank goodness for crazy glue!
I do not plan to buy another Palm product if I can avoid it. Too bad. The products have good features and a nice display, but the reliability sucks and the customer service is a joke.
The unit has other problems, like freezing up once in a while, some of the software that was shipped with the unit (from Palm) does not work and there is no support for it, and the unit has unexplainably lost data on a couple of occasions. I sync my unit every day and after any major amount of data entry as a defense against the latter misbehavior.
I will be looking to a Sony to replace this unit. I expected to get three years out of it and we're just about there. Anyone want a used Palm Tungsten T? Guaranteed to drive you nuts!
