Palm tx review
I bought this to replace my tungsten e2 any I am just thrilled with it. It is similar to the tungsten e2 so there was a minimal learning curve. I have found it it be useful on a personal and professional level. I like the size, ease in use and the battrry life to make it a PDA many could use. I have bought other software for it that has also been easy to use un the palm TX. Overall I would reccomend this PDA.

Palm T|X Review
When I found my Palm T-3 faltering I ordered the T|X as a replacement as remaining with the Palm OS meant instant compatibility between the two PDAs when I sync them on my PC. This process worked perfectly.

In daily use there are some pros and cons about the T|X:

PROS: The Palm OS; a leather screen cover is included; better color screen than the T-3; media and MP3 capability; Documents-to-Go works great with Office 2003 Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; wireless connectivity, and it is not a cell phone.

CONS: No button on the side to start a voice recorder function, its very hard when driving to dictate myself a memo; the buttons sometimes don't respond with first or even second push; and I never have been able to get Outlook to hookup with the T|X (VersaMail?)

All in all, the T|X does exactly what I want it to do: maintain my calendar, contacts; pictures of the grandkids; handle my Excel, Word, and PowerPoint files; and do so simply and reliably.

Totally pleased with my TX
I've had my Palm TX since December '07 and I haven't had one problem with it since the day I took it out of the box. It is my fifth PDA and there were specific reasons I wanted it: the bigger screen than the E2, the 128M of memory and the built-in wi-fi. The wi-fi is incredibly easy to use, the screen is crystal sharp, and I love how much it can hold. I've read the negative reviews and I guess those folks got bad units; mine works perfectly. For anyone, looking for a mid-range PDA with wi-fi, I would highly recommend the TX.

Great Palm
After searching around for the best price on my Palm TX, I ordered it through Amazon.com in May 2008. The ordering was simple and I received it about 3 business days later which was great. I chose Palm because my previous two units over the past 10 years were Palms and I had a ton of information to transfer to the new unit. It transferred pretty easy, with the exception of the old Palm Reader files... they never could be transferred.

A few weeks later I ordered a webcam that works great, but along with the webcam came ANOTHER PALM TX! Whoa... I immediately called Amazon to tell them they made a mistake and sent me a second Palm (also charging me a second time)! They were very helpful and emailed me a pre-paid address sticker and told me to keep the webcam, but send back the Palm in the box it came in. It was very simple to do and didn't cause me a lot of trouble.

I'm very pleased with the service and will continue to shop at Amazon.com.
(I'm also enjoying the Palm TX that works great!)

The Palm TX is not as reliable as previous Palms
This is the 4th Palm that I have owned (since they came out over 10 years ago) and the worst. My prior Palms were reliable and lasted about 3-4 yrs.each.
I find the TX very slow to respond, the grafitti changed (which makes "t"s and "i"s and all of the signs difficult to make.) When I first got it, it immediately lost the control for the changing of the screen orientation (I have a black space next to the wi-fi icon):they told me it was a software conflict and I had very little added software, it deleted 1 and 1/2 years of calender: lost forever my entire patient caseload list and my journaling from a trip to Eastern Europe! I no longer trust it. It freezes at least once a day when I am trying to write in it. And when I remove my SD card, where I keep photos, the screen goes black and it goes into a soft reboot.
I am thinking of returning it after 2 years: I have an extended warranty. Palm is getting very lax in service and product. It's a shame, as I have trusted the name and owned them for 11 years.
