In the same position currently. I've been using the included screen cover since I bought mine. I'm still trying to figure out which I want. My current front runner is the E&B slipper. The Vaja is nice too, but so far the E&B is the only one I've seen which will allow syncing in the cradle with the case on.

Yep, seen it. Here are some pics of one actually on a T|T: http://www.foxpop.ndirect.co.uk/Palm/tt_01.htm. It doesn't allow in place cradle syncs either.

The Brighthand Tungston T Forums look like they are fairly active.

I'm just not used it yet... been on VC too long!

yeah, no kidding. I think out of all the boards that I frequent, VC and TC are definitely the best in helping people out. Everyone acts professionally and you're right - there are less ppc/palmos wars.

I have been "hanging out" over at Brighthand's TT forum and have been pleasantly surprised. I have read some very useful threads and there has been very little "trolling" such as goes on at PIC. I only saw one PPC Troll who was very quickly kicked off. All in all, I would say that it has been as useful as VC. In fact, I have noticed a number of VC posters over there including Slot Racer and others.

With regard to software, may I suggest two essential apps for the TT. They are:

Newpen

Okey

Newpen allows you to use the screen to write graffiti and Okey allows you to access menus (for those programs such as Palm Reader where you cannot tap the top to bring down the menus). This combo allows me to use my TT without ever opening the slider.

By the way, I purchased the Palm hard case and have been very happy with it. It adds very little to the size of the TT, the lid swings out of the way so it doesn't interfer with using the device, and, contrary to what some have said, it holds the device securely. I have been unable to "shake" mine free (tested over my water bed). I also find the aluminum finish attractive. While not armor, I feel that it protects my device very nicely.

i would recommend Grafitti Anywhere, which is similar to Newpen. i run both apps. the difference is that GA is much better for inputing data into fields (like when adding to your list of contacts) and newpen is better for memos and other text things.

i also recommend Launcher X, DES Journal, and Crossing Over.

You may also like ClickStart. at present, I'm undecided on it. i'm thinking version 1.3 or 1.4 will add what i think it needs.

as for cases, i haven't bought one yet as i'm considering getting one custom made that will hold the TT and the XT keyboard. you may want to look at this one though:

http://www.pielframa.com/Palm%20tungsten%20simple.htm

card export (http://www.softick.com) is also handy. (oh, and if you haven't heard, AVOID Sandisk SD cards as they're having severe write problems on the TT!)

you may also want an mp3 player: pocket tunes and aeroplayer are both worth checking out. however, there's a sound prob with the current release of os5 (with mp3s) that palm is apparently working on fixing. should be fixed in the next two weeks.

obviously, i also have the XT keyboard and i quite like it. amazing that they made the old PPK even smaller and lighter.

if you weren't aware, you can now do advanced searches on palmgear for OS 5 apps.

hope this helps. congrats on your new purchase!

On a related note...

Anyone know if there are ANY Sprint PCS phones that are bluetooth enabled yet? I can't switch carriers at this point, but I really want a T|T...
