My new (to me) Tungsten T3 arrived! But the battery is shot, I really should have ordered a new battery when I ordered the T3, but I thought maaaybe it would be okay and I’d save $15. Oh well, another week until I can use it off the HotSync cradle, guess I’ll just start loading up apps! I really love the sliding case/display feature of this model.

do you run palmos on it? do you aware of possibility to run floss os on it?
@maxwelld I think there were some Linux on Palm projects, but I actually really like the default Palm OS. Had a simplicity that is lost these days.
The battery replacement looks to be very easy, just a couple screws. New battery cost me about $15. The ease of replacement is why I bought the T3!
How does the screen read in sunlight?
@ResetReboot haven’t been able to take it outside yet (battery dies instantly off the cradle). Will follow up when the new battery arrives Monday.
@ResetReboot new battery in and have used it outside. On max brightness the screen is legible, but still dim. I'd say good enough for most tasks.
