$300.00 should not crash and wipe out twice in less than a year. Tech support wants $25.00 each time to get it up and running again only to have it crash again later. I was told "this happens sometimes". I cannot send it in for repair because we get it running with every $25.00 tech support. I have lost everything while out on business twice. Won't be buying a new one.
Pros: Looks good, large screen, bright colors
Cons: Tech support is not worth the time. Crashed twice.

I sent my Palm Tx in for repair on July 5th. (Screen replacement) Their website "promises" repair and return in 5 to 7 business days. Up until July 20th and NO ONE at Palm can tell me where my TX is and when it will be returned. Two days ago a member of the "escalation team" told me that If this couldn't be resolved they would send me a reconditioned TX. Now today (july 20th) they tell me, It's in repair and will be returned to me July 30th. They also said they didn't receieve it until the 19th, despite my UPS tracking # shows it being recieved by Rebecca in Fort Worth, Texas on July 5th. Also, they indicated that a reconditioned model was not an option.

<br>The TX worked ok, but their service department is made up of a bunch of liars and excuse makers

I bought this thing a year ago but never used it until last month. Within a few days the screen started messing
<br>up, not responding to input. These and most electronics are built in China and so you can expect it to break in
<br>an absurdly short amount of time. If I were you, I'd buy a used PDA. If it doesn't break in the first month, it isn't
<br>likely to break for a while so the first owner did that QC for you, since the manufacturer clearly doesn't. And for
<br>the basics, PDAs are all pretty much the same, and used ones sell cheaply since many PDA-philes buy the latest
<br>and sell their two-month-old machines for cheap.
Pros: It's a PDA, and it works but I expect a repair soon.
Cons: I also had the screen screw up within weeks of using it.
Comments:
Good value for memory-card capable pda w/o hard drive, but slow search speed and the the screen scratched in the first two months (I only use the stylus). Very frustrating trying to enter data when the screen fails to respond correctly to input strokes and you get some other letter than what you wrote. Fix this and I'd recommend others to buy one.
Pros: large screen, good detail/definition, fair processor speed
Cons: write-on screen malfunction in first two months

The TX is my second, and last Palm. I had a Tungsten C and loved it. I recently swithced to from a PC to a mac
<br>and was shocked to discover how few of the TX's applications wil sync with a mac. Basic things like the
<br>Expenses application wi
Pros: Good for leveling table legs.
Cons: Not for Macs, zero tech support.

Pocket assistant with Wi-Fi costs less than you may think...
Pros: Built-in wireless and Bluetooth, great price.
Cons: No wireless-specific programs, lacks Flash drive mode.

The Palm TX is an affordable and desirable handheld at $299. The wait is over for an reasonably priced handheld with Wi-Fi in a compact form factor. The TX combines a incredible amount of features an capabilities at an outstanding debut price....
Pros: Excellent Screen, Dual Wireless, Rich Software, one handed operation
Cons: No Voice Rec, Vibrate, LED, No included cradle

This is my fourth Palm PDA. I upgraded from a Palm Tungsten T to the new T/X. I've been waiting for Palm to come out with an integrated WiFi unit and have been pleased with the unit to date. The synching via WiFi is slick and the screen quality is excellent. The battery life has been good thus far. I would recommend this product for any fan of Palm PDAs.
Pros: Intergrated WiFi, great screen, battery life
Cons: only 100 Meg of internal memory, no charging cradle
