This looks like a nice PDA. Too bad the website doesn’t provide any way to actually buy the item, or have an actual address of customer service. I will be buying one, but probably from NewEgg, their website actually works.

Just bought a new TX for the wife, and it did not have wifi. It did not have the icon at the bottom next to Bluetooth. It did not have any files listed under “Info” that had to do with wifi. And it did not have an application for Wifi in Preferences/system.
Got a bum unit. I spent hours trying to troubleshoot it, and doing research on the internet at sites like palminfocenter, brighthand, even palms user forums. No answers. This sucks. Wish I got paid for it all. It was just a waste of my time.
I’m frustrated and angry.

I got this item for christmas and i loved it only about two months later what a joke i have had to constantly reset it and also if your buying this item i suggest ou get a case unless you are the business type with a pocket protector of some sort because the included case is a felt-like covered piece of cardboard with the attachment thing paper-like and the connector is a strip of plastic, also dont waste your money on a screen protector it does more damage than good. first of all you have to cut it and i had a hard time with that seccond get it in place the first time or else you risk toasting your screen. Also if you intend for this as a show offy item i suggest you get a few more palm syluses because o mine after a few weeks of use the chrome begins to wear off the stylus and makes it look like you pulled it out of a dumpster. One thing i really like about this item is that you can charge it via the USB connector (included) or the plug in adapter but keep in mind the adaptder gets VERY hot if you leave it plugged in so dont leave it to close to anything until you know how hot it will get. The battery life on the Palm TX is okay but make sure to leave bluetooth off because it will cut battery life in 1/2 and Wi-Fi does about same. The battery life is about 6 hours max (without Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) It is very nice having an adjustable backlight but keep in mind with this model it cannot be turned off which is a con. I also seemed to notice a high pitched whine when i turned it on but i think it is either the backlight or the screen because it seems to get louder the brighter the backlight gets. The jog buttons on this device are better than some but it is hard to use with a thumb. The four hot-buttons on this device can be adjusted at least 3 of them can but they are kind of small and i usually use my sylus to press them. One thing to note is this should be used with headphones or an external listening device because this item’s speaker is on the back of the unit and is a little hard to hear. The SD card slot is a nice feature and even lets you know with an audible sound if it is plugged in good. The stylus is a manul and not a push the button and it pops out type. The stylus will not just fall out and it is nice but i think it could be a little bigger in diameter unless your used to styluses but even though im not new to PDA’s i still think the styluses are too small. One good thing about this unit is that the reset button can now be pushed with the stylus so you dont need a paperclip and it is recessed so you dont have to worry about it accidentally being pushed. The unit is light and comfortable to hold in a hand for long periods of time. Now on to the software portions of this review. First of all the security feture are nice but not required. One thing to think about if your an avid photographer like me is that the included “Media” software is not very good you cannt zoom in with photos and the videos are awfully small. You cant play mov’s as far as i have found or videos over roughly 20MB but with a program called “TCMP Player” (not affiliated with) i can play almost any video type i want but i dont know where to get this anymore and i would be careful to find a good source to get it from but it should be free as it is open source (laymans advice no one except yourself is responsible for what you download or put on your device or media) I really like the Wi-Fi sync abilitys and that this device includes VersaMail which i like to E-mail with. It takes a whle to type with Graffiti and can be a pain but it also comes with an on screen keyboard but i would reccoment getting a Bluetooth or serial keyboard to make faster typing for you real estate agents or business types. You can send attachments via VersaMail but not over 5MB or so. Also the Web Broswer included does not display big and graphical pages but is okay for mobile enabled web sites. I hope you like your PDA and this concludes my review. If you have any questions u suggest you contact the maker Palm or the seller and make sure you ask them everything about it because you dont want to be disapointed like me.

Compre esta PDA hace mas de un mes y considero que es a la fecha muy superior que sus competidoras de todas las marcas, incluyo en esto la LifeDrive de Palm. Tiene un desempeno excelente porque maneja un software optimizado para la memoria que trabaja, la idea no es tener un laptop ni solo una agenda electronica, realmente es un producto intermedio que no busca reemplazar lo uno ni lo otro, solo hace su trabajo eficientemente.
He sido usuario de PDA por mas de 6 anos y he podido comparar marcas y tecnologias, en esto Palm sobresale y el modelo TX lo hace dentro de las Palm. Tengo mis reservas con la LifeDrive, no fue una buena idea.
Si quieren estar seguros que comprar pueden gastar una buena fortuna comprando y comparando, ahora pueden aprender en estos comentarios y avanzar en un camino ya recorrido por otros sin gastar dinero, acepten los consejos de quienes ya pagamos para disfrutar de buenos productos. La palm tx es uno de ellos, con certeza.
