Hi there.
I must say in all fairness, that I did not think I would like the T/C. However i love it the battery life is superb. I can get a solid 5 hours wifi internet browsing out of it. If i use it as a PDa I get just over a 6 solid days, useage about and 60-80 mins a day. It feels so fast that I have down cloaked it to run at 300 and again battery life is amazing I ran a clip continuosly the over night and I still ahd 35percent abttery left after 6 hours.
Obviously I jack sprated it and removed DTG and put in 6.8 premium and some other odds and sods. I have still got over 25 mb to use of ram, and no idea what I am going to put in it.
Reference the thumb pad, I though I'd hate it but actually it is really pleasent to use and I actually like it a lot. Wifi works a treat and coverage is better then my toshiba centrino.
Battery life is a plus. I have just recently bought two keyborad for my tungsten range after trying one, it is so much more handier and better.
Also I love the green leg light which tells me that my handheld is chargeing and when connected. Bluetooth I miss but I can live with out as generally I do not use internet on the move that much. I also carry my T3, so now i am in heaven with my T3 and palm.

i must say the batt life of tc is simply wow, given it has 400mhz and wifi. since keyboard is not my fav so i will stick to my t3 (with that lovely screen). just hoping that palmone will release an upgrade of t3 with new 520-620mhz xscale and bigger battery.
thanks sayem

/me strokes his little T3 - "Listen to them not my dear"...
Actually I have my T3 running at 118 and 177 most of the time and get hours, I rarely need to let it loose at 400...
Still, maybe the TC's battery is an example of a replacement battery that might get released for the T3 sometime...
Well, I have a TC too, but then it has a digitiser issue. The digitiser is off differently at different parts of the screen. So, redigitising it doesn't work.
I used to trick it, by digitising off (from the three targets) so that it is only off on one quadrant of the screen. But with TC patch 2.0, it wouldn't accept my digitising (it will prompt for the top left spot again) :(. Worse, if I actually try to digitise aiming right on the spots, it doesn't work.
A bit unhappy about that, but so far Palm's Asia Pacific support as been good. They sound like they will get me a replacement (bought in January, so it is new). We'll see. I bought it in US before I resettled elsewhere in the world. :) Oh well.
Glad to hear other people's great love for the TC :). (and yes, some others with their T3). TC has wonderful battery life... I go days without recharging, unlike my old TT, which I heard had a better battery life than the T3! So, there... it does go for 5 hours with Wifi, which I believe might still be the best of any PDA with wifi surfing.
The TC is an indispensable part of my daily life, even if some of the uses are simple ones (like as a calculator or a daily planner or a dictionary). Without it, I would have quit what I'm doing at the moment... just indispensable. Now, just hope my digitiser problem would go away!

Are you two speaking of the lower 5mm of the digitizer not responding? If so, this is supposedly fixed with the TC Update 2. Make sure that you have applied both current TC Updates from Palm.

As I mentioned, after Update 2.0 (yes, the very latest), it is WORSE for me. After the patch, I cannot even digitise properly, because it would not accept my digitising if I try to aim at the exact points it requests.
And no, this is very different from the 5mm problem, since it is OFF differently on different parts of the screen. See my original post description. Apparently, there are some other people with this problem... hmm...
Just curious, starkist, does your screen also have the high pitch sound that numerous people complained about? It seems like my TC also hummed louder nowadays. But hey, you should try to get a replacement. I have, and waiting (impatiently :) )... they have my address now, and I hope that means they are sending it over. Heh.
