1 out of 5 stars Beach Camera   November 23, 2008
Nothing wrong with the TX, I have used one for years. The problem is with Beach Camera who (I didn't realize it until it was too late) Amazon used as a partner for this purchase. I ordered a new TX from Amazon (I thought) then when I got a confirmation from Beach Camera, I knew I was in trouble. The first unit shows up used and damaged. When I called them, they said send it back but I ended up having to negotiate with the guy for I didn't want to pay postage a second time. Beach Camera reluctantly picked it up for free. Now, well over a month later and quite a few calls to Beach, I finally have received a new unit.


4 out of 5 stars A good PDA   November 21, 2008
I like the T/X for the most part but have spent a number of hours trying to figure out how to get it to work with MS Vista, finally had to disable the documents to go. Didn't get much help from the Palm website, but did from the users blog that it referred me to, but still hit and miss. The calendar is great and the ability to access the internet is nice.


5 out of 5 stars Great Product   November 17, 2008
The PalmTX is a great product. Well designed, light, reliable. The processor seems quick enough for most tasks and the display is easy to read. It is certainly a step up from previous products and I especially enjoy the WIFI access. The one disappointment I have is that it is a little slower in translating graffiti strokes to text. I have not yet learned to slow down and so I must correct many mistakes. I'm sure I will adjust, but I do miss the previous speed which appraoched normal printing.


3 out of 5 stars Not the best device one can get for it does.   November 15, 2008
Having owned a Palm III, my first impression with the TX was that it is cheaply made. The TX is slightly bigger than the III but much lighter and feels "plastic." The Palm III worked well for contacts and appointments. The TX does a lot more, but not very well. If you want to email, web-surf, and use Words & Excel on a handheld, opt for a device with a finger-size keyboard. For the price of a TX, you will get a lot more by paying only a little more.

The bottom line: If you are a diehard Palm user, the Tungsten will do you fine. If you really want more out of your Palm, go for the Treo, or even a Blackberry.



1 out of 5 stars Never really worked...   November 15, 2008
...and I should have sent it back, but I didn't get around to it. I've reloaded the software a few times. it never boots, it never syncs, and then it just dies by repeatedly rebooting. it even wore out it's battery doing that. ugh.

I loved my earlier Palms and I like the operating system and the ease of use, but I've grown weary of having to carry a phone and a PDA. I tried a Treo but that had it's challenges, so believe it or not, I've got an iPhone. as a PDA, it pales, but as an overall, I'm satisfied. Sigh. I miss by Palm Tungsten-3 with the slide up and down feature.
