User Submitted Palm TX Handheld ReviewsDate: 2008-07-24 So far, so good After about one month, I am well satisfied. I am cautious, however, as this one replaced a Palm T|X that started failing just over a year after I bought it. Parts of the screen no longer responded to the stylus. Date: 2008-07-13 From a Physician's perspective I have used Palm PDAs for a number of years. I tried a device running Microsoft software a few years ago - far slower and harder to use. The Tx works well with epocrates and Skyscape for Griffith's 5 min clinical consult and so on. Browser software is a little slow, but then again I can't fit a laptop in my shirt pocket. Date: 2008-07-13 Great Unit-- Not Happy! I've been using a Palm for over 10 years, and when I bought the TX, I expected that I had the ultimate in Palms. It is packed with features, the screen is bright and sharp, and it was going to fulfill all the needs I had developed for myself by using a Palm for so long. Unfortunately, the TX is plagued by a well-known problem with the DBCache, which means that it essentially gets its memory constipated, let's say, and has to reboot, which it does automatically, but unfortunately, often in the middle of an activity such as searching for or entering an event. And when it doesn't restart on its own, it freezes. I've had the unit for more than a year, and have searched the internet for solutions. While there are a few downloadable programs that promise to purge or keep the DBCache clear, I haven't had much success with any of them. I get p.o'ed frequently at the TX, since i depend on it so much. Occasionally, an expected alarm doesn't go off because it has frozen. I'm just not happy with it, and I keep considering buying a new battery for my previous Palm and downgrading!! Date: 2008-07-08 Very Pleased I love my Palm! It has helped me organize my life! This seller was very prompt in mailing it to me and it was exactly what I paid for. No complaints! Date: 2008-07-07 Palm tech support could not make this PDA work My Palm TX was a birthday gift....I spent 7 hours of the big day talking to Palm's tech support. The handheld was unable to access Yahoo email--yes, all the settings were correct and I have a Yahoo Plus email After two days of trying to resolve the issue, Palm gave up and said I should return the item. This problem also occurred on the PDA that tech support was using to simulate conditions. Moral of the story: buy something that works. This product sucks, the tech support was agonizing++. The only bright light was Amazon's customer service. They could not have been better about the return.
