There are three different Palm Tungsten models. The Tungsten T, Tungsten C,
and Tungsten W. This review is for the Palm Tungsten T. The
Tungsten C and Tungsten W
are addressed in separate reviews.
The Palm Tungsten T seems to be a real hit for Palm. This model has some
nice features that allow it to compete with the Sony Clies, and the Tungsten T
has gotten some great reviews. The Tungsten T is a high-end PDA/expensive toy.
This was also one of the first models to showcase the Palm OS 5.0.
The Tungsten T gives you multimedia capabilities with a photo viewer, voice
recorder, and MP3 player. Additionally, you can use the Tungsten T for email
and web browsing. However, these require a subscription with an ISP.
The Palm Tungsten T has received rave reviews from professional reviewers as
well as people who have bought one. In fact, the Tungsten T is one of the
highest rated PDAs around. Of 2,753 votes on one web site, 94% recommended
the Palm Tungsten T. That's truly outstanding.

As you can see, the Tungsten T has few detractors. The only real complaint
lodged against the Tungsten T is that it is too expensive. But this is usually
the case with most high-end models since they are a combination PDA/toy/status
symbol. In this class, the price is more than just the functional value of the
product.
