User Submitted PalmOne Tungsten T2 Handheld Reviews (cont...)Date: 2003-09-19 Easier to use and lots faster T2 is the handheld we recently chose for our execs. A couple of support staff were lucky enough to get one of these too, that's how I got mine. Let me tall ya its excellent. I don't understand the issues with SD cards -- I haven't had any. Getting it set up for wireless was a breeze. No probs here. Date: 2003-09-12 Palm Generally Delivers I suppose comparing to my last device (IIIxe) means I am not really a big spender who always needs the latest/coolest devices. I doubt I will have any interest in the T3, even if it is twice as fast, twice as much memory etc, as the T2, but this is also true because the T2 does the job and is really ahead of the rest of the industry in some respects. I have no clue what to do with Bluetooth (refer to my early comment on my spending habits) Why would I buy a bluetooth phone? (or is a better question "where?"). You can get bluetooth adapters on lots of devices, but why? Would you really spend $300 to get the adapter for your powerpoint projector so you can do your next presentation from the T2? why not just use your laptop as before? Want wireless? Get a remote control device to change the slides. Other reviews seem to suggest the SD card is unreliable. Kind of got me scared. You can't show up to the big presentation and have no data on your card. So now what do you do? bring a backup SD card? Changing devices every 6 months is not fun for a busy person. I took hours to get this thing configured, and my address book copied over etc.., not to mention the difficulties in learning "Documents to Go". Biggest disappointment is how overrated this conversion really is. Almost every document I tried to load on my palm came out either party or totally useless. A map in powerpoint was unreadable no matter what you did. A party invitation in word came out with only the photo, and not a word of text. Others were equally disappointing. Okay...need to pour even more time into reading the manuals. The adobe acrobat is semi useless too, as only after you buy the device that you find the original making of the pdf file must be "tagged" for it to work right in the conversion. Still what a great improvement over the IIIxe. Great screen, a speaker, alarm vibrate etc. are all great features. I lost interest in some fancy pocket PC- when it comes to intensive computations - that's what the P4 2.4 Gig laptop is for... Buy stocks in Palm because these devices should only cost about $100 to produce in volume. Company will get rich selling these at $300 because too many people will pay and pay, and pay! Want Memorystick (are you nuts?) go Sony. SD is the way to go. Fantastic screen, great form factor. Tons of software. Best on the market today.
