"Great device - buy one if you can find it!" on by jeb_nj
Pros: Terrific screen, expansion capability, bluetooth, compact design.
Cons: Not all older apps run on OS5
Summary: This is the Palm of choice in our IT department, we have four people using the first version of the Tungsten. While it doesn't have all the capabilities of the latest model (the T5), it is a proven reliable PDA with a great hi resolution screen, MP3 capability, bluetooth and expandable with an SD/MMC card. Only thing missing is wi-fi, but I do that via my notebook by choice (due to screen size).

"7 years old, still great, now only $24.00" on by bobmac888
Pros: Supports most older palm apps, plus new ones optimized for hi-res screens,it feels very solidly built, has a good heft to it, and the slider mechanism works quite well with no connection problems.
Cons: the digitizer sometimes gets off- course, though this can be solved by using third-party software like zlauncher.
Summary: I got this and a palm m505 off of eBay for a total of 24 dollars, they both work and come with all the cables. Though you might not find that good a deal, they are still very cheap and functional.
