I described the T|E’s TFT colour screen as being surprisingly bright in a previous entry but it’s brighter than I first thought. We had a blackout around midnight and I discovered the T|E functions fairly well as an emergency flashlight. The display emanated enough light for me to navigate through the pitch-black house without stubbing a toe.
On the downside, the T|E’s Calculator app has an odd bug: the decimal point is displayed as a comma and vice versa e.g. type in “1500” and it’s displayed as “1.500”. I haven’t found any reports of the bug (admittedly, I didn’t look that hard) and palmOne’s T|E support page doesn’t mention the problem. I’ll try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
