How fast is a t3 connection?

While the Tungsten T5 was meant to be a replacement for the Tungsten T3, it is missing several features from the Tungsten T3 such as a charge-indicator LED, vibrating alarm, included HotSync cradle, and built in microphone for voice memos. Handheld aficionados and Palm OS loyalists have often criticized the Tungsten T5 for its plastic casing, which is considered out-of-place for a $400 handheld. The palm T5 case however is not entirely plastic. It is composed of a plastic case with metal panels sandwiched on the top and bottom. Contrary to many assertions in reviews of the T5 the metallic colored panels are in fact metal. (many users prefer a metal case for a $400 handheld, but technology experts fear that a metal casing might cause heat issues since processor speed has increased year after year). Power users also criticise the Tungsten T5 for its Tungsten E-derived form factor. A more serious issue is the Bluetooth support on the T5. The speed of the Bluetooth connection can only be set to a maximum of 128Kbps. This makes HotSync via bluetooth amazingly slow and severely limits its utility with high speed cellular data services.
