Anyone using a Tungsten T5 PDA with Linux?

Greetings.

I have thought about getting a PDA for quite some time. With Sony 
dropping their Clie line (at least in North America) and Handspring 
being bought up by Palm, I found myself looking at devices from Palm 
once more. I decided to get either a T3 or a T5. The T5 would have won 
outright if it had included a mic for audio recording as I think it is a 
feature I could use from time to time. It now turns out I have the 
chance to get a new T5 in an unopened box at a very good price so it 
seems as if the T5 will be the unit I will get.

I need to move on this soon if I want to get the T5 but I was wondering 
if anyone on this list has a T5 and whether they are using it with 
Linux. The information on the T5 indicates it can be seen as a USB flash 
drive which allows a user to drag and drop of files to/from it under 
Windows. If this is being done via SMB it should be possible to do the 
same thing under Linux.

I'm still researching the T5 on the Internet but I would appreciate any 
first hand accounts from anyone who has this unit and who has tried it 
with Linux in particular.

Happy holidays to all.
