FS: Palm Tungsten C, WiFi   
Palm Tungsten C, with WiFi 802.11b, integrated QWERTY keyboard and 64Mb 
of memory. Currently running Palm OS v 4.5. Boxed and complete with USB 
charging cradle, leather (effect) cover, manuals and CD 
software.

Slight issue: although the screen has been calibrated, the 
bottom left corner is a bit 'off'. You have to aim slightly below the 
on screen buttons with the included stylus. I have been told that this 
is a common issue with Palm handhelds.

Comes in reasonable condition; 
wearing around navigation widget on front, and a few marks on the back.

Asking for £50 ono + P&P.

These are very nice machines, and I hope the seller finds a buyer. However, 
I would just say that I have had several Palms and never had this issue, nor 
have I heard it discussed.

I have a Palm T|X, and I know what he means - no matter how carefully I 
calibrate the darned thing, the bottom bit of the screen (where the 
taskbar is located) is always a little bit 'off'.  It often means I end 
up bringing up the Bluetooth menu when I try to hit a button in a 
program.  Irritating, but you learn to compensate.
