User Submitted PalmOne Tungsten C Handheld Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-03-30 Can't live without it. I've used the Tungsten C for more than 5 years now and I can't imagine being without it. I love the keypad, I can't use the palm writing style to save ny life, so it's great. Its very easy to use, I never needed the user manual. The wifi works great for me, yes webpages look different and don't always load right, but hey, you're using a 3" screen, if you want perfection use a computer. Others have mentioned problems with the screen going dead, losing pixels, or the battery dying, I've never had any problems with any of these. As for problems it does have, like others have mentioned there is a high pitched buzz, but its fairly quiet and depending on which way it's facing I often can't even hear it and when I do its never really bothered me that much. The biggest problem is that as the palm gets older the sensitivity of the screen changes, it doesn't read your taps exactly where you tapped on the screen, consequently you have to use the digitizer more often. But again it's not enough of a problem that I would stop buying Tungsten Cs. Obviously they don't last forever, but nothing does. Thankfully in my case my mother also had a Tungsten C that she didn't use as much since she got a palm pc phone. Once the screen got to be a hassel I switched with her new one, reset it and gave it the same name as the old one, told hotsync to overwrite everything and synced it. It was exactly like my old one, I didn't have to do anything. So yes it has problems, but so does every other model. As far as I'm concerned it does the things I need it to do flawlessly, most areas or programs that do have problems are ones I don't even use. For me any other problems it has are far overweighed by the things it does right. Date: 2006-10-04 DOES NOT ALLOW 2GB SDCARD!! I have been happily using this robust machine since it originally came out, and I have NEVER had ANY complaints UNTIL NOW. I tried to upgrade my SDCARD to a 2GB SDCARD and the Tungsten C wouldn't recognize it. Apparently, Palm will NOT release an updated driver that allows their units to read SDCARDS that are above 512MB although the machine certainly has the hardware to be capable to do so (instead they want us to shell out another few hundred dollars to buy a Tungsten TX or a new LifeDrive). The hacks that are out there DO NOT WORK (e.g. downloading LifeDrive's driver, etc.). Since most of us users are listeners of MP3s and PodCasts, this failure of Palm to release a driver (which can so easily remedy the problem) shows a sincere failure to Palm's customers most of who have been loyal customers for YEARS. If you thing that you will EVER need a card that has storage space above 512MB, then the Tungsten C is NOT for you. This is a serious disappointment. Date: 2006-08-18 DO NOT BUY! READ THIS REVIEW The tungsten c is a VERY VERY VERY BAD PEICE OF HARDWARE 1 day after i got it it died the only reason it died was unstable hardware i donwloaded one thing and it just crashed the secend thing is i droped it 3 feet and it had about 400 dead pixils.Please go with a sony clie PEG-NX60 or a NX73v. Date: 2006-08-05 palm tungsten c handheld i just got this and its awsome! easy to work with i dont even need the manual but some times the buttons get stuck and a phew problems with syncing but other then that a perfect handheld Date: 2006-02-17 Nothing about PALMs are worth the price you pay I bought this palm thinking it would be a great little machine to take notes on during class (I bought the compatible wireless keyboard as well) and to surf the web. Boy, was I mistaken. First after 40 days of owning the item, it started to promptly shut off and reboot while I was writing notes in the word application. Then, I never managed to figure out how to use the wirelss. No one knew how and PALM was thoroughly not helpful. After sending the PALM back twice to be "fixed" nothing has been repaired and it is worthless. If you want something for any use other than as a scheduler, get a fujitsu tablet pc. There service is much better.
