Got my beautiful brand new Tungsten T yesterday, and cracked open my
CodeWarrior for Palm OS v8.0 (I know its one rev old but I got the Academic
discount) box and got ready for Palm programming! Unfortunately:

1) Couldnt transfer my ROM from using POSE. Using version 3.3 (which came
with CW8). I did install the ROM transfer program, and initiated the
transfer on both ends, but nothing ever happened and the ROM Transfer app on
the device timed out. Does this not work with USB? Quizzically, there is a
USB option on the PC side of the RAM transfer app, but not on the Palm side.
The Tungsten T uses an ARM processor, so POSE is not able to emulate it, so transferring the ROM would do you no good. You should update your version of POSE to 3.5 (the current one from palmsource.com), and you should join their developer program to get access to lots of ROM images, both release and debug.

You can download the Palm OS 5 Simulator and debug to that using V8, although its best to update to V8.3 to fix some connection problems using that setup.

2) Couldn't debug the sample app in the CW IDE. Despite placing the CW debug
settings to Palm OS device with a USB connection. When I start to debug, CW
tells me to place the device in debug mode using shortcut..2. I obey, but
when I do this on the TT I just hear a sort of crunch sound, like 2 or 3
clicks in rapid succession, then the CW IDE tells me "Connection attempt
failed. Please try again". Then the error log shows

========= Log window opened =========
CmdReadRemoteMem: error in SlkSendPacket = Error code: FFFFFFFF
CmdReadRemoteMem: error in SlkSendPacket = Error code: FFFFFFFF
The Tungsten T's USB debugger support is broken under older versions of the CodeWarrior debugger. V9 is the first version of CW that supports debugging to the new ARM-based devices. You might be able to connect to the TT using a serial cable and V8, but there is a bug in the CPU emulation on the ARM-based devices that makes stepping through 68K code erratic; the debugger in V9 has a work-around for this bug.
