User Submitted Palm TX Handheld Reviews (cont...)Date: 2009-10-22 Pretty Good, but not the LifeDrive My LifeDrive crashed on me, so I got a Palm TX as a substitute. The Palm TX is a nice PDA, and perhaps for someone who never had a LifeDrive it would be great. But after having the LifeDrive with its 4 gig hard drive, the Palm TX just couldn't quite keep up. The wifi usually worked ok, but it did not have the memory to function on some networks. The touch screen works great, and the applications are all very good, just like on other Palm products. This is very thin and light weight, and I hardly even feel it in my pocket. It works fine with the bluetooth keyboard, so it is nice to have a pocket sized portable work station. I like it in a lot of ways, but it just falls short of the functionality of the LifeDrive, so it really isn't for me. Date: 2009-10-14 A great PDA Palm should never have discontinued this line of product in favor of the cell phone. This unit has a much larger screen which is easier to see and therefore better for running add-on programs. I use a database program to keep track of shopping lists and collections. While out shopping I always have a complete list of items in a collection and never duplicate anything. I also have a program to keep track of expenditures on my vehicles and monitor mileage. I can also carry many e-books in the chip memory along with a dictionary and games. A converter program allows me to make quick calculations when needed. There are many other programs I've loaded onto the PDA and I use them regularly. By synchronizing with my laptop I can also print contact lists for various projects including a Christmas card list. The biggest problem with this product is that once you get used to it you don't want to give it up. Date: 2009-10-13 Used Palm TX Handheld Used Palm TX works as expected, however, Original Palm software was missing from the Bundle. (Item Appropriately Discounted for "USED" status, so I'm still very happy with product). Fortunately, I've previously purchased 3 of these "TX" products before as New and Re-Furbished, all which have worked great. (One of the previously purchased TX's was lost so I had original software available for the "used" product. (2 Household Nurses use Free ePocrates and purchased Licensed Diagnostic Drug description software, as well as Clinic Patient Reports using Palm Word Forms which download to Computer for later printing)(also manages Contacts, meetings and Engineering projects review status) This "TX" product worked "TOO WELL"(as an independent PDA) because it is no longer made and the PALM SYSTEM has been re-designed to FORCE the USER to purchase ON-LINE CONNECTIVITY (active Web dependent) to allow users to obtain the same FUNCTIONALITY as in the newer PALM-PRE PHONE. This NEWER PALM-PRE BUSINESS MODEL forces a repetitive monthly fee payable as a phone service as well as the MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION services for additional web-based software purchases. (Software Execution depends on On-Line Server access.) Valid On-Line Backup Service available for FEE, which duplicates the original FREE (user independent) Home Computer based wireless/cable-connect Backup Service. The PALM TX wireless home computer backup feature was used by me to reload my original software, files and electronic Books (yes, it also services as a "Kindle" like book reader, using free Mobi-pocket palm software) onto this "USED" TX. I recommend getting the TX while you can because they are the best in functionality and dependability. (We also once had a Dell (Windows) PDA which offered less bang for the buck). Date: 2009-09-20 palm tx item was shipped fast, and arrived in excellent condition. item works beyond my expectations. i love my new palm! Date: 2009-09-19 Not worth the price I got mine 1 1/2 years ago. I bought this model because they said the z22 were constantly freezing up. At a year the screen was failing. I had bought the two year warranty knowing that the screens fail at about a year. I used mine lightly, the day planner to keep up with six schedules. My husband got it to take my e-mail here at the house but it would freeze with attachments and I was unable to get it to connect any where else when I really needed it away from home. I have gone back to my franklin day planner and just us the SD card filled with music, essentially I have a very expensive ipod that I have to carry in my hand while I run. One wonderful feature is the calculators that I have not found all of them in another device. It has a good battery life, I can play music for hours. When this one dies I will not buy another.
