User Submitted Palm TX Handheld Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-11-01 Best Palm Device . . . EVER Over the years, I've had HP, Sony and others. This unit is by far the best. Fast, hi-res, beautiful. Wi-fi is excellent. I've used the wi-fi at airports in NY, PA, FL, SC and NV. I have a keyboard as well. Much more portable than my laptop, don't have to turn it on when going through airport security, GREAT. Date: 2008-10-27 First Handheld Gadget My husband got this for me. I've been making computer lists to track my grocery coupons, and restaurant and services discounts for years; printing out hundreds of sheets of paper over the years. This Palm is just the thing I needed. I've now converted my 7-page grocery coupon list and 3-page "other list" and am starting to learn how to use the Palm's grocery shopping feature that allows me to check off if I have a coupon. Anyway, so far I love it. I've just begun to learn the Palm's many features and have found it very easy; and a handy item to keep in my purse. I'm 62 and frequently think of something I need to buy or do. It's really nice to grab my Palm to make a note to myself, rather than the old fashioned way. :-) Date: 2008-10-27 Simply Horrible. DO NOT BUY THIS PALM! I was thrilled to get my TX. It seemed like the perfect machine. And it should have been. And, at first, it was. This is my fourth different model of Palm Pilot in ten years and I have always been loyal to both brand and the Palm OS. My last was a Tungsten and I decided to move to another model when I became tired of re-calibrating the screen every time I turned it on to use it. THIS IS SO MUCH WORSE! I can barely use it now, and rarely do. The screen needs to be recalibrated badly, but whenever I try, I cycle through the loop endlessly and eventually have to do a reset. In addition, the screen itself is not sensitive to the pen anymore. I try to draw one letter and get several letters and a few periods. It really is useless. I've had it for a year and a half and started having problems after just a few months. I'm absolutely disgusted by this especially now that I've realized that these problems aren't unique to me. It seems many users of the TX experience the same issues, with no resolution from Palm. After 10 years, I'm doing the unthinkable. I am going to purchase an iPAQ. I never thought I was capable of giving up my Palm OS, but after two models that were substandard, I have no choice. I need a handheld that WORKS. Date: 2008-10-21 Great all-around PDA - with WiFi, BlueTooth, eReader, web access and more I love the Palm T|X. I have been using it daily ever since I purchased it on a whim in the airport during a business trip two years ago. I use it to access the web & email via the built-in WiFi, I use the calendar, contacts, note pad features constantly. I'm also a big fan of the games on the Palm to pass the time while waiting in airports, etc. I also read books on the Palm. The display is crystal clear and the interface is so easy-to-use with the touch screen. I did take the time to learn the Graffiti 2 system to make input even easier, but it's not necessary to learn. There is a virtual keyboard that you can use to type also very easily. I also use Yahoo contacts & Calendar, and have depended on the ability to sync my Yahoo contacts and calendar with my Palm T|X contact list and calendar. I also read my Gmail on the Palm via the VersaMail app. The only negatives I've seen are that you can't POP Yahoo mail (not a fault of the Palm), and also you can't listen/watch iTunes files (audio/video) on the Palm -- also a limitation of Apple iTunes, not the Palm. An all-around winner of a PDA in my opinion. Date: 2008-10-19 Palm TX This is one of the best products I have ever owned. I can keep my work inventory, Music, Games, Alarm clock, Ebooks I want to read in my spare time, 4 different versions on the Holy Bible, my passwords for all my various web subscription, pictures, search the web from anywhere with wireless wifi network...... what more could I want in a palm that is smaller than my wallet?? And I have room for allot more even without adding a 2gb chip...
