A few quick notes on this sunny Friday about the Tungsten C. A R Partners sent over three other items to review: a 64 Meg SD card with some applications on it, a headset/mic to use with VoiceRecorder, and the item I was most excited about, the Palm Ultra-Thin Keyboard. The keyboard is even smaller and lighter than the Palm Portable Keyboard I use with my IIIxe, and I expected great things from it.
From a typing perspective, it seems usable, although the flexible design means that the space bar is actually divided into two pieces, which will take some getting used to. Or, at least, it would if the thing worked properly. No matter what I tried, and how many different versions of the drivers I located, I could not get the keyboard to work reliably with the Tungsten C. It would type, then stop, and certain keys would not work well. I did a little research, and found that a number of other people have been having similar problems -- it seems to be a pervasive, though non-universal, problem.
I will try to follow up with Palm and get some more details next week. Additionally, I'll talk about the other items I got to review in upcoming entries.
I had the same problem with the Tungsten C and the Ultra thin keyboard. I've since learned that it is an issue with they keyboard. Palm is issuing replacement keyboards. They will ask you if your keyboard has a rev B or C next to the serial #. If not, they will ask you to send it in and will ship a replacement. Since receiving my replacement keyboard everything works fine (although to be honest I prefer the old PPK keybards for typing. In my opinion they keys are too close together).
Good luck, Dave
Posted by: Dave at June 29, 2003 09:18 PMI bought a new PUTK two days ago and it came out of the package with the black black support form the Tungsten broken on one end. Seems it is very fragile, just look at how it is tight to the keyboard, nothing to do with my old Palm Portable Keyboard. Maybe the package does not resist the trip. Anyway nor Palm nor the final seller accepted my claim, si I will have to repair it at my cost. DO NOT BUY THAT KEYBOARD !

Finally my claim was accepted. But as I could not get back the money, I changed it for a Logitech TypeAway more solid. I think the Palm design is very bad, not suited to be carried in a pocket.
