Amazon.com Review
Kicking the technology advances up another notch, the Palm Tungsten T3 delivers a professional, sleek alternative to bulkier Pocket PCs that's chock-full of productivity enhancing and information sharing applications. Improvements over the T2 include a full-screen mode when the bottom casing is slid open, a bevy of enhanced display options, compatibility with Java applets, larger internal memory, and an easier to access status bar. First, just the technical facts: - Palm OS 5.2.1
- 32-bit, 400 MHz Intel XScale processor
- 64 MB internal RAM, with 52 MB usable for applications and file storage (an improvement over the T2's 29 MB usable RAM)
- Bluetooth wireless connectivity
- Secure Digital memory card expansion slot
- 4.3 (closed) x 3.0 x 0.66 inches, 5.5 ounces
 | The T3's Stretch Display | Overall, the Tungsten T3 isn't that much smaller than the Zire 71, but it does feel nicely compact in the hand and its larger navigation button is easier to manipulate with just your thumb. However, the "wow factor" comes into full force when you slide down the bottom of the T3's case to reveal the full screen mode. And it gets even better. The standard "silkscreened" Graffiti input area (so-called because its icons and borders are printed onto the screen's glass) is now replaced by a digital version, which can be hidden to reveal an even larger screen. We found this useful when writing long notes in Memos and viewing an expanded daily calendar view. You don't actually need the Graffiti writing area to input data into notes or Calendar items. With the Full-Screen Writing preference turned on, you can write Graffiti characters anywhere on the screen (you'll even see an outline traced on the screen as you write). But the crowning display enhancement is the ability to rotate the screen to landscape view, which was especially handy when viewing downloaded movie trailers (using the included Kinoma video player). If you're left-handed, you can change the orientation in landscape view so that the status bar and Graffiti input area are more accessible to your own orientation. The T3 includes the familiar suite of Palm applications (Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and Tasks) as well as a number of third-party software title (ranging from Acrobat Reader to RealOne Player for listening to digital audio). Calendar has been given an Outlook-friendly makeover, adding an Agenda view that consolidates all of today's appointments, tasks, and new e-mails. With full-screen mode on, Calendar's month view now displays smaller calendars for the previous and next months. Bluetooth wireless functionality is built in, and the Tungsten T3 still includes the BlueBoard and BlueChat for sharing information with other Tungsten users. For Web communication, Palm includes VersaMail and WebBrowser Pro, both of which can be used along with a Bluetooth phone. Additionally, VersaMail can access a corporate e-mail account, including Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino servers. Java has also now entered the Palm OS arena, expanding the application development opportunities. The T3 comes with a few sample applets (including a periodic table that would be handy at our local pub's trivia night), but we'll have to wait for more development before Java becomes a full Palm OS tool. Our only complaint, design-wise, is the placement of the Voice Memo button, which as been placed toward the top of the left side of the case, below the on/off button on the top panel. When turning on the device, our left hand's thumb continually triggered the Voice Memo app when attempting to turn on the T3. Note that you can also turn the T3 on by pressing one of the application buttons surrounding the Navigator, or by sliding the bottom case open. Overall, the Tungsten T3 is a Palm powerhouse, blending its traditional information management strength with new multimedia and connectivity functionality (both wired and wireless). It's about as perfect a personal productivity agent for professional settings as it gets. --Agen G.N. Schmitz Pros: - Crisp, bright color screen
- Fast processor, ample internal memory, and expansion slot to boot
- Digital Graffiti input area can be hidden for full screen display
- Screen can be rotated to landscape view
- Access to corporate e-mail and Bluetooth wireless connectivity
Con: - Voice Memo button gets in the way of turning on and off

 Very Positive review July 25, 2010
robert skillen (ACTON, MA, US)
The refurbished Palm Pilot is excellent for use at work in correctuions as a new one with a phone is not allowed. Excellent for use with Epocrates.

Grafton Olivera (Bradenton, Florida)
I was expecting a T3 in "like new" and "mint" conditions, as advertised by seller. Instead I got a unit that would not hold charge and had too much friction in the sliding mechanism. At least the seller had the decency of accepting back the unit right away and refunding all charges, including return shipment.

Having used a T3 for many years, the battery finally gave out. This replacement is just like a new version. It has provided a seamless transition with no loss of data. It is exactly as advertized, "Like new."
I bought mine when I could still get a brand new one, and it rocks! March 21, 2009
oldpink (Indiana, US)
Just a quick review, that the seller for mine shipped it in exactly the state he promised.
I have owned a T3 before, but I ordered this because the hotsync had broken on my old one.
This is the last great PDA from PalmOne, and if you should be fortunate enough to get one in decent shape, you will see why.
I still fail to understand why the PalmOS PDA is nearing the end of the road, while PocketPCs and so called smartphones (Ooooh! a touch screen!...c'mon!) are replacing it.
The seller (not Amazon, but an outside vendor for them) shipped it out quickly, and the unit was complete and in opened box, but still unused state, exactly as promised.

I've owned several pda's over the years, but the Palm Tungsten T3 is my favorite. Simply put, it does the job reliably. If I needed to buy another pda, this one would be my first choice.
