Palm TX Handheld
Rating:
- Great Hardware, the software is old, but now can be upgraded!
I've used this device as my main PDA for a couple years now, and I like it quite a bit.The hardware is quite nice, it is sad that Palm stopped progressing with PalmOS.The good news is, thanks to hackers like the people at [...], you can now easily put your own software on the Palm TX.You can already put OpenMoko on it, and I'll bet soon you'll be able to run Android on it.
If you want to try yourself, I've been working on making it easy to do.Check out this video to see how to it yourself:

- Palm TX
The Palm TX replaced my Tungsten E.It was bought from a 2rd party vendor through through Buy.com.Delivery was received within the shortest part of the time period given.So far it is working well.It runs all my old software fro the Tungsten E.The only wish is it would be nice if Palm updated the WiFi for better speed.

- nice device
im a nurse practitioner student and i use the palm tx with epocrates essentials daily. it has never let me down. the wifi is slow but if i want to surf the net, i would get on a mac. dependable, customer support has always been very friendly to me. i have had this unit for almost a year with no problems. i have ordered a cheap t5 for my wife on ebay and will review it later.
the iphone/ipod touch is gaining on palm, especially with the epocrates essentials coming out in 2009. But, the palm tx has a word, excel and powerpoint applications that the apple handhelds don't.
a stylus is always more professional than touching a screen with your grubby fingers. i hope palm stays around. look on ebay for good prices of tx, t5 and lifedrive.

I had to recently return my second palm PDA, I could not sync my medical software from my mac os 10.4.11 laptop. My palm would not turn on after trying to reset, I'm still waiting for a refund, for two shipping charges and the price of the Palm PDA.
Thank you,

- Touch screen a sham
I have had it for 3 years. The touch screen worked for less than a year then dead. The cursor lands now about 1 cm from the thumb. File management is nightmare, never know what are installed and what not. The WiFi for web browsing works better than I expected, 2 star there. Prepare a week of study before you can fully understand how the soft and hard ware pieced together if you incline to give a try.
