Tungsten T3 Photos

Here's a ton of photos I took of the Tungsten T3, if you still aren't satisfied make sure to view our 3DVR movie of it. There is a link to the movie in the gray box above (to left of Print and Email buttons).

Conclusion

Anyone who thinks that all PDA's are the same has not seen the Tungsten T3. With its expanding screen, Palm has blown open the possibilities in the PDA marketplace. Further enhancement comes with the digitizing of the graffiti writing area. The integrated Bluetooth wireless further gives this PDA firepower to compete in the ever-crowded PDA segment. The landscape ability will no doubt be the underlying feature that will propel the T3 to the top. The T3's rise to the top may be slowed by its $400 price tag, but not by much!

Pros

Can you say Landscape?!
High resolution display
Built-in Bluetooth functionality
Built-in voice recorder
Nice cradle included
Ability to use different methods of inputting text
View standard MS documents (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint)
Adobe Acrobat Viewer
Face protector does not mar finish
Choice of input interfaces
Ability to change the handedness

Cons

Few programs are able to utilize full potential of expandable screen
Can't store MP3's without expansion card
Pricey
Power button hard to depress
5-way navigator can be annoying
No included screen protector (sticky film)
Key lock is a hassle
Vibrate functionality not that useful

I would like to know if the T3 has the same memory as the T5. That is, will the memory be wiped if I run the battery down all the way? I have a bad habit of doing this to my electronics.
