Palm Tungsten W Review by
While it's something of an improvement over ealier Palm phones, the Tungsten W is not yet the ideal phone/PDA replacement.This is a nice PDA and a just OK phone. I was hoping Palm would do better with this. At the very least they should have included a Mic/Speaker so I don't have to grab the headset everytime a call comes in.
I wouldn't have spent my own money on this thing, I would have probably gone for the Blackberry.
Since I'm already an AT&T customer, I can switch my SIM card from the Palm TW to my phone when I need a real phone. I'd prefer something more seamless; perhaps having the W only receive calls when my cell phone is off.
PLUSES:
Nice screen
Great battery lifeMINUSES:
Only works with AT&T service.
No pop up notification of SMS messages
Requires use of headset
(or extra-cost flip phone cover)
Should have speaker and microphone built in.
Because headset plug is non-standard I haven't been able
to find an over-the-ear headset to replace earbud.
Slow processor
Processor limits unit to older Palm OS
No graffiti area. Must use thumbpad.
Typical worthless Palm cover included, very few aftermarket covers yet available
Palm Tungsten W Review by
It's a good PDA, but not as good as the Tungsten/T & not good for wireless phone, especially with the SMS features.
These are following cons that I encountered with Tungsten/W:
1) You cannot delete the call history.
2) You have to delete the SMS outbox and inbox messages one by one.
3) You cannot send the SMS messages to a group of contacts, you have to do it one by one.
4) It's very difficult to write a SMS messages using the qwerty keypad.
5) It is not a MMS ready and cannot play polyphonic ringing tones.
6) There is no time indication in the SMS messages inbox.
7) You cannot answer the phone without the earpiece.
8) You have to charge it everyday, the talk time & standby time is not long as what the manufacturer claims.
9) Doesn't have a bluetooth & speakerphone.
I hope Palm Inc. will do something about this or else they won't get a bigger share in the PDA Phone market.
Palm Tungsten W Review by F. Vahidy (Pakistan)
I bought it yesterday and have returned it today!
All features other than the integrated gsm phone/ wireless service are same as the earlier model Tungsten "T". So presumably one would pay the extra buck for the advantage of having a phone/pda combo. Right? Unfortunately the ONLY service provider with which it can work with is AT&T. As per the words of a Palm tech rep., "This is a SIM lock device"! Meaning that the only SIM card that would work is the one that is provided in the box by AT&T. It is not like a normal tri band GSM phone in which you can put in a SIM card from any wireless service provider and you can use it in the coverage areas of your service provider. So only two group of people can use this deivce. Fristly, those who do not want to use it as a phone and only want to use it as a PDA. To them I would say why dont you get a nicer PDA like something from Sony, or HP, or the Palm Tungsten T. And secondly those people who are willing to subscribe to the AT&T serivce plan. I dont live in US and have never been a coustomer with AT&T, however I know firstly that limiting a deivce to only one service provider is purely logic deprived, in general for all users and particularly for users who travel abroad and want to use SIM cards from local serivce providers. And the other fact is that the reviews on AT&T wireless service are far from satisfactory. So in short this Tungsten model has no advantage over the Tungsten T. As a PDA it may be good. But then why pay the extra $$$$ for having a phone/pda combination.
