Palm Pda

[lotus eater]

I have lost the charger for my Palm Tungsten T3. It has lots of crucial data - not synced/backed up. Its charge is gone and the shops (in Chiangmai) told me Palm is not available in Thailand, hence neither is the charger. Can anyone confirm or contradict its non-availability in Thailand? Does anyone have a clever idea of an alternative which will fit the socket and make the charge? Perhaps a even a Palm user who resolved the same predicament I'm in?

Any helpful suggestion will be most gratefully taken up.

Otherwize my last resort is to ask someone to buy it in europe/america and send it.

Haven't used Palm in a long time and when I last did it was on a Sony Clie

Do you have a data cable? Will it charge off of USB? maybe you could get enough juice to do a sync so you could get your data to your pc.

at any rate good luck

google search truned up 2 links with at least one that will ship world wide so maybe you can have the cable sent to you.

Palm is definitely available in Thailand, bought several ones. Gues Panthip will be the place to go look, I saw several 2nd hand ones, including the Tungsten, on sale!

I bought a T5 in Phantip on the very top floor in the IT mall. Plus you could buy a cheap card reader to copy stuff off your expansion card.

My thanks to Hdrider, Monty & Texasranger for their replies. So it seems that Palm does have retailers/availabilty in Thailand - just that they are all concentrated in Bangkok. In fact there is one name in Chiangmai but their phone is dead - so apparently they are defunct.

Ozymandias, thanks for the reference, but I guess my better course is to get one of the Bangkok shops to ship.

I will now ring ring the numbers in Bangkok to see who can provide and ship a charger to me. Pity I'm not in Bangkok to pick up one, maybe even find a second hand one.

If a Bangkok resident has the time to check the names on Palm Thailand's retailer list and recommend a reliable one for the shipping etc of course that will be very useful to me; but if not no matter as I am already much relieved to have no s to ring on monday.

(By the way it's an E2 I have, not T3)
