  Palm Tungsten W Handheld:

   

  Palm Tungsten W HandheldDesigned for mobile business use, the Palm Tungsten W combines the features of a cell phone, a personal information manager (PIM), and a laptop in one device. The wireless Web browser provides access to the Internet from any location and uses class 10 GPRS radio for fast downloading. The useful Web clipping service lets users cut out important data--such as stock quotes or flight times--quickly and save it to the desktop. 

 

  The Tungsten W also lets users keep in touch with corporate e-mail, allowing access to up to eight different POP and IMAP accounts. For faster correspondence, this handheld is equipped with SMS for sending instant messages to those with compatible wireless devices. 

 

  Familiar Palm applications--Excel, Word, and PowerPoint--make it easy to create or open documents on this handheld. This Palm device also features the standard PIM features: an address book, date book, calculator, memo pad, notepad, and to-do list. The Tungsten W has a built-in keyboard, making it faster and easier to type documents, e-mails, or instant messages. 

 

  An additional five-way navigational button allows for one-handed or stylus-free navigation. A high-resolution color screen offers a crisp display for documents or Web pages. For phone use, the Tungsten W offers more advanced call-management features, such as five-way conference calling and the ability to make notes for each caller and set redials and reminders. 

 

  The phone's hands-free headset lets you send e-mail or view or edit a document while taking a call. This device has a Palm Universal Connector for attaching peripherals, and a Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard-compatible expansion slot for adding more memory. 

 

  The rechargeable battery offers 10 hours of talk time plus additional standby time on one charge. A HotSync cradle is included for recharging the battery or for synchronizing the Palm's data with a desktop PC.
