Tungsten T2 is a PDA and the second model of PalmOne's Tungsten T series products and uses a 320x320 LCD. It supports more RAM to 32M bytes than its previous model Tungsten T. It replaced the display of Tungsten T with a TFT to increase the display effect in dark environment. Since it is much like the Tungsten T model, PalmOne did not deliver this model in some districts such China Mainland.
The Tungsten T2 has been discontinued in April 2004, and has been replaced by the Tungsten T3.
The Tungsten series, first introduced in Fall of 2002 with the Tungsten T, was part of Palm, Inc.'s move away from arcane model numbers, Palm OS 4, and aging Motorola processors.
The first Tungsten, the Tungsten T, introduced in November 2002 and known during development as the M550, was the test balloon for both Palm OS 5 and the entire Tungsten line.
Tungsten T5 The Tungsten T5, introduced on october 2004, is combination of the Tungsten E and Tungsten T3, the first to have a 416 MHz Intel PXA270 processor and sports a 320x480 TFT 16-Bit Color Screen instead of a 320x320 Color Screen with a hard input area.
Well, the TungstenT2 is here, and it brings with it the improved screen, more RAM, a different color, the latest OS, and a more solid feel, as well as more bundled applications permanently loaded onto the device.
Other than the color, the externals of the T2 are the same as the T. The screen is offset to the right, there's a record button on the left, the SD card, IrDA port, and power are on top, and there's a slider that opens to reveal the Graffiti area.
Retesting on the T2 reveals that though it's now faster than the T, it's still not as fast as the Zire 71 or Tungsten C. The Zire 71 is fastest, running the Crouching Tiger trailer in 11.3 to 12.6 seconds as opposed to the T2's 13.9 to 15.9 seconds from the same SD card.
