Bad.......2007-04-02

I bought this product, but I didn't get the product, the seller didn't deliver, but at least I was refunded.

Not the PDA that is bad, but fear the Palm service.......2006-12-31

I recently purchased a brand new Tungsten T2 at auction (the owner had bought but it on advice of his boss, but he never used it). The box was still sealed, and the screen still had the original factory screen protector on it. It was obvious that it had never been used.

The T2 is a good unit, better quality display than my T1 that failed. However, Palm support, which has never been really great, has deteriorated further.

They have obviously outsourced their support, and the call center has hired people who cannot understand the questions even if you speak slowly and clearly. He spent most of the time trying to find some reason to not grant me tech support, doubtless hoping that I'd agree to pay $25 for help. I explained that I was calling about a new Palm that had never been used. The call center person would not help me, claiming it could not be new because it went out of production three years ago. If he really doubted me, he could have checked records on the serial number that I gave him, and there would have been no record on support since it was new. But instead he continued to insist that I had to spend $25 to get help.

When I argued with him on that point that the service should be provided for a new Palm regardless of when it was built he just hung up. I repeat, he just hung up.

This isn't my first bad experience with their support. I think Palm now has a strategy of trying to make the Tech Support a profit center instead of a cost center.

I'm stuck with Palm because all my data and applications are tied to its operating system. But I certainly cannot recommend it for anyone who has a choice to buy another product.

Palm did a good job with the T2.......2006-05-12

The tungsten T2 is not perfect but it is good enough that I rely upon it. The software set up can be somewhat confusing. I recommend getting the latest software and downloading it. You get a better desktop. Keep disks because if you want to add some of the optional features such as reading photographs, you need the disks. I upgraded from my zire 31 (which I purchased new and it does have a faster processor) because I wanted the voice recorder. The voice recorder works most of the time but I frequently do need to do a soft reset to get it to work. Have not figured out any rhyme or reason. I have used the voice recorder to connect to my Dragon NaturallySpeaking-I dictate into the palm pilot and it transcribes into my Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The quality of the transfer is pretty low-I probably have 80 to 90% accuracy which may sound good on paper but one mistake in 10 is a lot of mistakes in a document. The tungsten T2 is not completely reliable but with backups onto my desktop it is a very valuable tool. The processor is sufficiently slow that if you are searching for things in the desktop using the find mode, you must disable searching through the documents or it will take all day. These units are sufficiently old that you can find decent used ones for less than $100. I recently connected a foldable keyboard which works nicely (no batteries or infrared-connects through the hot synchronization). I was tempted to get a T5 until I read about all the negative reviews. I will stay with what I have.

I love it -- and so will you!.......2006-04-26

This palm pilot is great for people on the go. You can put so much information and easy access!

I have had my address book filled to the brim and the calendar and all kinds of programs to include: Battle Ship, Chess, Tetres, and more games, documents that were 1028 pages long and more documentations. This little baby didn't evey bat and eye.

It just keeps on trucking and works brillantly!

A Excellent PDA!!.......2005-08-14

Este equipo es una verdadera maravilla!! la verdad lo recomiendo ampliamente, tiene varias características que la hacen muy recomendable (Sólida construcción, Tamaño perfecto, pantalla de resolución apta para la mayoría de los usos multimedia, Bluetooth, etc) ¡¡PERO LO MÁS IMPORTANTE!! es una PDA con una increíble capacidad de ESCALAMIENTO!! WiFi, GPS, lo que se les ocurra les aseguro que existe una compañía que tanto por Software o por Hardware ha desarrollado una solución para esta Tungsten T2.

Customer Reviews:

looks nice...but.......2004-05-11

Its probably the nicest looking case for the Tungsten T2, but does not provide a great deal of protection or usefulness.
The T2 snaps in giving you access to being able to expand it via the open top, but it does not always rest securely in the case and can fall out of position relatively easily. It also is not very functional. It holds 2 mmr cards backwards so you cannot see the title of the card and it does not offer any kind of storage space for headphones, business cards, or anything else. It also folds open but the cover does not bend all the way behind the back of the case, so it is a bit cumbersome to hold in one hand.

It works OK, but not as sturdy as it looks.......2004-02-18

The pictures give you the impression that this case is especially "hard" and sturdy, but in fact its still mostly plastic and there is some play in the case hinge.

Also, as others have mentioned, the SD cards don't stay in too well. But a little bit of velcro (one side only) placed just above where the cards sit does the trick.

DOES NOT FIT T3!!.......2003-10-07

This item is listed under "accessories" for a Palm Tungsten T3 in Amazon's site. It does NOT fit the T3, the T3 is slightly taller than the TT and T2.

Do not buy this if you own a T3. In fact, don't buy it if you have a TT or T2 either, as it is not a very good case. It is plastic, even though it is billed as "aluminum," it is HUGE and bulky compared to your TT, which is why you bought it in the first place, right?

There are several better options out there.

Recommend with Caveats...........2003-07-25

As I do a lot of traveling, a hard case has always been essential for my Palm. The hard case on my old Palm V protected it fantastically despite drops, falls, kicks, and the occasional person treading on it. Therefore, I felt that a hard case would be essential for my new Tungsten T.

The hard case has a lot of features I like. The notch on the back allows for easy PULL-UP of the Tungsten to reach the Graffiti pad (something that a few previous reviewers didn't catch - admittedly it took me a couple false tries to figure it out, as the pullup vs pulldown is a little counter intuitive). The Palm slides easily and securely in the case via the spring loaded construction, although I *strongly* recommend that the Palm be in its compressed mode when pushing it into the case. The case is just high enough that if you drop it upside down the stylus and expansion cards don't pop out.

The negatives....The poor design on the expansion card holders has already been hashed out by many reviewers. I'll add an additional complaint that when I dropped the closed case, one of the cards popped out, and subsequently rattled about in the interior. My biggest complaint, however, is that the case **just** squeaks past my definition of "too big". The Palm V hard case slipped easily into my pants pockets. The Tungsten case fits in my pocket, but looks bulky (yes, I *am* vain). Also, I've got fairly small hands, and the hard case just isn't comfortable in them. If you're a guy or a gal with bigger hands than mine, this probably isn't an issue.

In summary, I still think there are more pros than cons for this product. However, for myself, I intend to use this hard case only when I'm actively traveling, and am using the "scuba case" for day-to-day activities.

Quite good.......2003-06-30

This case has been reasonably well made, although there are a couple of gripes whcih have already been well documented in this area by others, but I will reiterate to confirm them.

1. The SD holding slots on the back of the front cover, for whatever reason Palm, has chosen to have the SD cards conduit bits exposed to fingers when they are inserted and removed. No logic there.

2. It would have been nice to be able to bend the front cover all way back so that the Tungsten is able to sit comfortable in one hand instead of having to support the unit from the base.

Besides, that the 2 little hooks which keep the Tungsten in place work quite well, making it simple to insert and remove for syncing/charging purposes. It does provide a nice finish to the Tungsten unit, although in theory it should be the same 'colour and finish' as the Tungsten (it's a silver/aluminium finish instead of the grey/gun metal finish of the Tungsten).

Having said all that, I still believe it's the best case for the Tungsten T on the market. The rhino skin equivalent for the Tungsten is not nearly as well made as their previous version for the Palm Vx. The hinge is terrible. All the other cases are just not as practical IMHO.

Nice case - for the right users.......2003-10-08

As folks have previously mentioned, this case does not allow easy access to the voicememo controls / headset jack on the left side of the T/T2. However, you can turn the unit around in the case if you need those on a regular basis.

Contrary to other reviewers, I have NOT found the power-on issue to be a big problem. The case does have two small leather loops on the inside-bottom of the front cover that are designed to prevent the buttons from depressing. I have a stack of business cards in the front slot in the case which may provide a better buffer for the buttons. Then again, it may be that I'm just relatively careful with my PDA and don't bounce it around a lot.

As one of the only cases designed specifically for the T/T2 line, this case will certainly please most users.

Barely adequate.......2003-09-05

When I bought this case shortly after the TT came out, there weren't a lot of choices. I settled on this case because I don't like metal, but now wish I'd bought the metal case. My TT is a very important tool for me in my work as an ER nurse, and it is aggravating to pull it out to access ePocrates and get a blank screen because it accidentally got turned on in my pocket and drained the battery. Even tho I have it set to turn itself off after a minute, it must get turned on frequently as I standup, sit down, and move about the department. At least once a week this happens, where I'll go to work with a full battery, and try to turn it on to find it drained.

The case is nice looking, and fine if you carry your TT in a briefcase or a large purse or backpack. If you have to carry it in a pocket, as I do, you will not be happy.

ok but flawed.......2003-08-25

I agree with some of the comments about the unit switching itself on when the case is closed. This is simply ridiculous. If the case is in a bag and something presses on it, the date book or address book button will switch the palm on and there goes your battery without you noticing it. It's happened twice in the last month and it happens even if you don't have anything in the credit card sleeves on the left hand side cover. I used to have a case for my 500 that closed all the way with a zipper (better protection) and never ran into that problem. Otherwise this case is ok.

Adequate, but could be better.......2003-06-26

When you get a Tungsten T you want to protect it. There are not that many options, since the Tungsten is a smaller size than most handhelds.

The case and attachment is symmetrical , so if you want access to the headphone jack and recorder button (which can be configured to open an MP3 player instead), just turn your Tungsten around in the case. Pity Palm didn't realize and at least suggest this - or better still design for it!

I like the sleeves for Credit/business cards and the little hidden pockets for (2) extra SD cards.

Would be nice to have a case which:
1. Protects the handheld well
2. doesn't have to be removed to HotSync. (I guess this can be worked around with Bluetooth synch. in this case.)
3. Provides sufficient access to non-visual apps. Like MP3 and voice recording. At the moment, you can start Real Player with the VoiceRecord button on the side but it does start playing automatically. So you have to find the play button on the front somehow... Would be a nice option in the preferences of Real Player. (Will have to check out some other players.)
4. The clasp is flexible as content grows but a little awkward.

One option is to extend the Tungsten out of the bottom of the case, whilst jogging, but this is less than ideal!
