    5 Stars Top 5 Reason to chose the Palm T/X 28/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Speed, versatility, capability, and ease of use!

    Disadvantages 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 originator of the PDA, but I choose the Palm T/X, for five reasons. #1. It's a Palm! One of the ONLY businesses that's still in the business of ... more

    5 Stars Palm TX - Launched 2005 and still the top PDA 17/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stable, excellent OS; masses of free software available; still the top dog.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None.

    The Palm TX has been around for a while now and so you may find it a little odd that I'm writing a review of it. More odd is the fact that the TX is still sold new, years after it first came out. The reason? As a PDA, it has yet to be surpassed. Not only is it extremely easy to use and connects to open wifi hotspots with ease, it also has a massive collection of free software available online - from games to productivity, from connectivity to health and wellbeing. It comes bundled with an excellent browser (Blazer) but you can also run Opera and some other browsers on it too. The email ... more

    5 Stars Palm TX 17/11/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages everything! cheap reliable, fantastic features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no spare stylus or screen protectors in box

    I got my new Palm TX in August this year and I have been very impressed with its performance and flexibility. I previously owned a Palm Tungsten E which screen was 320 x 320 resolution and had no Bluetooth or Wi-fi, so these 2 features are great additions for me. For those who have never used a PDA they are all touch screen and most have handwriting recognition to save having a keyboard and in Palm handhelds this is called Graffiti and is very handy when writing as you can just write as you normally would. The Screen size of the TX is 320 x 460 so videos can be viewed in landscape and portrait ... more

    5 Stars PALM TX users Review - 16/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, fast, and capable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No Cradle

    I have worked the TX in a busy environment. utilising the WIFI, bluetooth and email, sms and mp3 ona daily basis. I must say it is very reliable, fast and easy to use. It is a great all round personal management tool. Slip a 1gig expansion card in it and you have plenty of room for mp3s, pdf docs, word, excel files and ebooks. Battery life is good however extensive use of wifi does drain it somewhat quickly but i've never experienced full drain. The media section for videos and photos is high quality and the video playback is excellent but is slow to load if you have a very very large photo ... more

    1 Star T/X a disappointment 28/06/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Modernized for communications

    Disadvantages 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 for wires in the back and a useles, wasteful full-time glow. T/X has no "back" button, like on Sony palms, that was a brilliant function for ... more

    4 Stars The wonderful world of Palm 27/11/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Clear/bright screen, easy to use software.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Power button on top of unit is a bit temperamental

    The Palm TX is one of the best hand held units I have ever used, the screen is very vibrant and watching movies on the unit is excellent. The applications available for the Palm software are endless including, chess, word processor, MP3/MPEG player and countless amounts of games. As well as the TX being a wonderful unit to use, it also has a disadvantage; the power button on the top of the unit very rarely works and therefore I had to install a shutdown application which cuts the power and then I can press one of the 4 buttons on the front of unit to power it back up. Advantages for myself ... more

    4 Stars Palm T/X: business in a pocket 20/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It has loads of applications for every day business

    Disadvantages 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 hit and expelled from the device. This may happen for example when transporting the Palm in the pocket. Other not-good characteristic is the software ... more

    5 Stars The best PDA I have used yet! 28/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Large viewing area, Large memory, Wi-Fi. Fast

    Disadvantages 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 mode. which is great for watching Video,s which can be copied complete from a DVD and squashed on to a 1Gb SD card (using 3rd party software) plug ... more

    3 Stars Palm Tx PDA 19/09/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Great media carrier. Light and compact

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Horrible setup instructions and connectivity with macs

    I was very happy upon purchasing the palm tx model however, when the time came to sync it to my computer all hell broke loose. Because i use a mac it was terribly painfull to setup. The information on the website and the box is unhelpfull. I had to spend about 2 hours on the internet doing some research on how to sync. Although palm provides their own software, using would mean having to manually transfer all my contacts and information to that application. I thought they were supposed to make life easier and more organized. Asside from the setup, it is a helpfull gadget which does what it ... more
