Palm T|X

Advantages: Speed, versatility, capability, and ease of use!
Disadvantages: Doesn't play well with Vista (then again what does?)

5 Reasons I think the Palm T/X is a great find. I began my PDA journey with the Handspring Visor , outgrew it and moved on to Handspring Visor Deluxe; bought most of the springboard modules, fax/modem, camera, memory, keyboard, etc and finally sold it and turned to the (all in one) Sony Clie NR70V (which I subsequently over worked and burned out). Thus began my 2 year search for a better PDA. I don't know why it took me so long to come back to the ...
...line, and others? #2. The Palm T/X does what a PDA is supposed to do...manage your personal, professional and business information. No- it doesn't have a little camera that takes still photos or a short video clip, but how many people who have camera phones use them for real photography anyway. I have a digital camera with 6.1 megapixels if I want to take a picture worth developing. No- my Palm T/X does not double as a cell phone. I have a cell ... Read review

Advantages: Modernized for communications
Disadvantages: Steps backward for user-friendliness

A step backward from the Tungsten T, my previous palm. The T/X has not moved forward, design-wise. And cut some useful features. No charge-indicator LED. Screen less responsive. It seems like its forever resetting itself, losing a number of settings along the way. Bottom of screen permanent virtual buttons are not user-configurable! BAD! This is not a happy camper! And this: now extra $ for cradle, which is badly designed, with insufficient place ...
...full-time glow. T/X has no "back" button, like on Sony palms, that was a brilliant function for navigation. Tungsten spring-loaded stylus was lightning fast to deploy, even in hardshell case. Latter case also allowed headphones. Now T/X has done away with both possibilities. Awkward to use. And apparently a slower processor than in its immediate predecessor. Seems like they are slowly closing down their business. Perhaps because of Treo phones? Too ... Read review

Advantages: handheld pc, smaller than laptop
Disadvantages: no camera or would have 5 stars

...converts it digitally. Palm dock allows you to synch with your PC and charge your palm which last upto 2 weeks for me as it turns itself off when not in use. Its quite slimline with a big screen, and navigation controls are very neat it even finds hotspots automatically. ... Read review

Advantages: It has loads of applications for every day business
Disadvantages: Software quite User-unfriendly

I received the PALM T/X as a present and at the time the only data bank / portable personal data tool I had was an old Casio personal agenda. The PALM T/X is a very good device to store personal data, like Calendar, Phone book, etc. Also, I soon bought a 2Gb memory card, which allowed to greatly upgrade the device standard memory. One issue I found is the memory slot: in fact, there is no protection for the meory card, which may be accidentally ...
...example when transporting the Palm in the pocket. Other not-good characteristic is the software interface, which is quite User-unfriendly and old-looking and when accessing some applications it does not allow to close them. Time to time I observed crashes, however, it is easy to recover from them. Other than that, this is a very useful and good device, which, despite its drawbacks, I recommend. ... Read review

Advantages: Large viewing area, Large memory, Wi-Fi. Fast
Disadvantages: No microphone.

Having had a Palm Tungsten T, for about 3 years I decided to update, and went for the Palm T|X, and what a piece of kit! it blows anything else I have used out of the water! I use it for work and pleasure and would be totally lost with out it (It also can be used as a Sat Nav system as well) With its large viewing area it's great to surf the web via the built in Wi-Fi or through your GPRS phone via bluetooth. The screen can be rotated to landscape ...
...a film. Or just listen to some music with the built in MP3 player software. The only thing that it does not do is record memos like the Palm Tungsten T can. But with all the other benfits I can live with out that. Would recommend to anyone! ... Read review
