Amazon.com Review:
Palm’s latest PDA offering delivers wireless networking, lots of RAM and a faster processor--a PDA for the professional.Palm has embraced wireless networking with the Tungsten C, which has built in 802.11b capability. This is definitely a PDA for power users, as along with wireless networking comes 64MB of RAM, 51MB of which is available for your applications and data. The Tungsten C runs on the new Intel PXA 255 processor, an update of the PXA 250 which has more speed and better power management than its predecessor.
 | Compact and powerful | The hardware looks very much like that of the Tungsten W. There is no antenna like the W has, but there is a keypad where the Graffiti area traditionally sits on a Palm. A new version of Graffiti, called rather unimaginatively Graffiti2, is provided, and you can use this to write text direct to the screen should you desire to.
Palm provides a whole slew of applications including Documents To Go, for working with Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. This is in ROM along with email software VersaMail and software to set up the wireless networking features and run VPN (Virtual Private Networking) sessions. Connecting to an existing 802.11b network is easy as pie -- and a separate manual walks you though the process if required. Once connected, you can use another ROM-based application, Web, to browse the Web using your wireless modem.
Though designed with professional users in mind Palm has not lost sight of the fact that the Tungsten C will appeal to a wider audience. They provide the Kinoma player for watching movies and Photos for looking at digital images. A key notable absence is any kind of MP3 player.
Palm’s addition to the range of PDAs with built in 802.11b is a very impressive one. It has the processing power to cope with wireless activity and the memory to deal with the data you’ll download and share while using wireless.--Sandra Vogel

Rating:  - palm tungsten c review
I replaced a lost palm crather than upgrade to a smart phone.I like the keyboard on the palm c and the Palm OS platform.I do not feel comfortable carrying an expensive smart phone with me when I go to the farm or work outside.I can then leave the palm in the truck or at the house and carry a cell phone in my pocket.I use the palm in my work, because i can load large healthcare drug databases, and everything revolves around the schedule/organizer.
Rating:  - They are getting old and used
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.The last one functioned for six months before just dying.The battery life is also getting worse and worse.
For what I use it for they serves ... Read More
Rating:  - A laptop the size of a hand
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. The device easy navigate through and just as easy ... Read More
Rating: - This Machine is Great
I'm a mid level manager and my company just gave me the Tungsten C as away to remind myself of upcoming meetings and events. All of the senior level managers are well equipped with blackberry's so there was no doubt in my mind that I was definitely given a hand me down of some sort.
At first it seemed somewhat awkward and I wasn't used to using the thumboard, but in all reality I've become attached to this machine. Unlike the blackberry it's not a phone, and I prefer to have my scheduling ... Read More
Rating: - Can't live without it.
I've used the Tungsten C for more than 5 years now and I can't imagine being without it. I love the keypad, I can't use the palm writing style to save ny life, so it's great. Its very easy to use, I never needed the user manual. The wifi works great for me, yes webpages look different and don't always load right, but hey, you're using a 3" screen, if you want perfection use a computer. Others have mentioned problems with the screen going dead, losing pixels, or the battery dying, I've never had any problems ... Read More
