But, there are many more features that override this problem. If anyone knows how to fix this, let me know. I love it and will own one as long as I can find one to purchase.CG I love the Tungsten C better than any smartphone. But, the web browser, the original, does not do popups, so many links I click on will not open.
The unit is great if you never upgrade to vista which Microsoft seems to be forcing on the public. After talking to Palm tech support it doesn't appear that they ever will or care to. The Palm Tungsten C is not compatable with Windows Vista. they have yet to come out with software update or fix for this problem.
I can then leave the palm in the truck or at the house and carry a cell phone in my pocket. I do not feel comfortable carrying an expensive smart phone with me when I go to the farm or work outside. I use the palm in my work, because i can load large healthcare drug databases, and everything revolves around the schedule/organizer. I replaced a lost palm c rather than upgrade to a smart phone. I like the keyboard on the palm c and the Palm OS platform.
The battery life is also getting worse and worse. The last one functioned for six months before just dying. For what I use it for they serves a purpose but I challenge any seller to offer a decent warrantee on a remanufactured unit. I purchased a Tungsten C when they first came out and use if for lots of different tasks.For various reasons I have had to replace them. Its real simple I just place the new one in the the cradle and hit the sync button and I am up and running again.PROBLEM - each successive replacement is getting worse and worse.
My only warning is that you should get a hard case for it, A friend of mine had his crushed while it was in his pocket The device easy navigate through and just as easy to learn how to use the applications, especially if you work with computers. I bought this device a year ago and since then I have used it as much as I can get a chance. This device is easy to navigate with and type although typing is a bit slow and once in a while a little tedious if to type a college essay or equivalent but it is easier to type with than the more recent touchscreen keyboards because you do have to put more pressure, the touchscreen keyboards are a bit more clumsy and I often end up erasing much of the text.
