Review From: Larry R Bowers, Jr, Jan 7, 2005
I got this unit for Christmas 2004. I
traded up from a Window CE contraption.
I love it. The Tungsten W has a long
battery life (I used it during the
course of 4 days and the battery only
burned down about 25 to 30 %.) I also
love the fact that it has a keyboard
built in. The keyboard is a lot easier
to use than Graffiti or Jot. The color
screen is very clear and viewable
outside. I have not tried the
phone/wireless but I don't expect any
real problems. The only problem I have
had is that I had to restore it 3 to 4
times. It is probably some software
that I have installed on it. I wish it
had larger memory built in. The
processor could be bigger but it runs
fast enough.
