Dont Wait- BUY THIS PALM PILOT!!
This is the best Palm Pilot on the market today. This is reccomended to all long time Palm fans. Yes, it is a mobile office! Just to show the mobility of this product, I am writing this entire review on the thumb keyboard! The Hi-Resolution screen is absoloutely unbeatable. I LOVE THE PALM TUNGSTEN W!!

12/19 UPDATE
I am only a 12 year old boy, and now I admit my general compliments were a bit premature. The contact between the SIM receptors on the palm is FAULTY. The door is loose and if held screen side up, sometimes it says the sim could not be found, so then the phone turns off and it has to find the sattelite all over and blah blah blah. On my previous Samsung flip-phone,the SIM holster held the SIM to the recievers, something those stupid engineers at Palm should have immitated. The only reason to open your wallet for this Palm is for the phone, and if that gets busted, why not save a couple hundred bucks and get the much faster better OS running Tungsten E. Amazon wont let me take back my 5 star rating so just let me say I give 2 stars.

The Palm Tungsten W as a phone is lousy
The phone reception, although loud, is often scratchy. The sim card can only be used on the Palm phone. Consequently if you have a problem, you may be out of a phone. The service for the Palm Tungsten W is mediocre at best.

Good choice for heavy pda users
I'd wanted a telephone/pda combo for a while. When the Tungsten W was first released, I immediately wanted it. It had so many features I wanted: thumb keyboard, hi-res color screen, internet access, and compact size (compared to my Palm IIIc). However, the drawbacks kept me from purchasing: no internal speaker for calls, only works with AT&T in the US, and high cost. Also, the bad reviews, coupled with the release of the Treo 600, kept me from buying.

However, when my job forced me to switch to AT&T and the Treo 600 was perpetually unavailable, I chose the Tungsten W. All I can say is that I am so happy that I did! The screen is amazing, the internet works really well, and I can get my emails with attachments while out of the office without a hitch (try that with a cell phone). The phone has great reception and the headset keeps me out of trouble while driving. Yes, it is a pain to have to look for the headset, but I usually leave it attached to my purse and plugged into the the pda.

I've found software tweaks while surfing Tungsten W forums to customize it to my needs. The older processor does not bother me--it is plenty fast enough compared to the IIIc. This device is the best one for people who need data and pda functions to have just as much importance as cellular functions.
