William Hungerford, the About.com Guide to Palmtops / PDAs reviews the new palmOne Tungsten T5. His Conclusions?

Overall, the T5 is a great PDA. If you're looking for your first PDA, this is one you'll want to look at. For PDA Power Users who are looking for the next great Palm PDA, this one is slightly dissapointing. We really felt this PDA should be a part of the Tungsten E line, since it carries the same design. While we are happy with the 256MB of RAM, we would of much rather seen 802.11b WiFi and most important we really wanted to see Palm OS6 on the T5. We're not trying to be critical of this nice PDA, we just feel that the T5 should have carried on what the T3 started (we really like the slider on the T3 and the abilty to make our PDA more compact). Another dream we had for the T5 was a built-in keyboard; but hey, we're pretty demanding! While palmOne may not put the exact features some of us more demanding users want, we are extremely pleased that they are continually pushing the limits with new designs and features over the last few years
