Battery
Bottom Line
The Palm TX is an awesome as it packs convenience and organization into 5.25 ounces!

Summary
Palm has, more or less, gotten out of the PDA game. Ironically, the pioneer in personal data assistants has pretty much focused its company's energies on a market it actually helped create: the smartphone. Their industry hit, the Treo, paved the way...
Strength
Beautiful 480x320 display, very good battery life, built-in WiFi and web browser.
Weakness
Slight occasional lag when entering text, no built-in camera or voice recorder, non-standard HotSync connector.
Bottom Line
Only those that love high-end technology should consider the T|X for its hefty price tag, but its WiFi, long battery life and beautiful display make it worthwhile.
Overview The Palm T|X is the top of the line hand held personal data assistant manufactured by Palm. It is the most advanced of the traditional Palm PDAs, using a similar operating system and possessing pretty much the same interface. The T|X is...
Strength
A lot of new features
Weakness
Palm OS is antiquated.
Bottom Line
The Palm as a platform is dead, no point in purchasing this obsolete device.
This is my third Palm device, My first was a Tungsten E, liked it but after three years upgraded to a T5 Palm, that was given to my Daughter, when I acquired the TX. I liked the T5 but it did have its problems especially with hot sync with its cable. The...
Strength
Built in WIFI, small thin design, screen very readable and good color.
Weakness
That #*&%%! connector. (see above)
Bottom Line
A good unit that is somewhat dated but still has some life!
It's not perfect, but it is the best palm I've owned.

Summary
I don't consider myself as a novice or beginner when it comes to Palms. I've owned a Palm Pilot, Palm III, Sony Clie TJ27, Zire 31,Zire 72s, and The Palm T/X. Hands down the T/X is the best offering from Palm to date, but it's not without flaws...
Strength
Last of the 1yr warranty palms. Wifi, Bluetooth
Weakness
No Camera? 802.11b where's the G wifi? expensive, awful sync cable,no Mass storage device support
Bottom Line
If you want a PDA that offers Wifi, bluetooth and Infrared, this is for you. If you need a camera bundled, keep looking! Solid buy IF you buy extended warranty.
I'm in love with my Palm TX. This is my first handheld (although I've been after them for a long time), and I am quite certain that I made a good choice going for this one. In fact, I am so in love with this gadget that I need to defend it from some...
Strength
Quite fast, versatile, not too expensive ($268 in Buy and Amazon)
Weakness
Battery not user replaceable, sometimes unstable (reboot)
Bottom Line
I haven't used any other PDA/handheld, so I can't compare. But can say that the Palm TX has exceeded all my expectations.
Stylus based PDA's are powerful tools for anyone needing to access data on the go. A long time Palm user, I replaced a lost T3 with the TX about a year ago. I was disappointed then and find the model increasingly buggy and frustrating. While stylus...
Strength
WiFi. Better battery. Better visibility. Blue Tooth.
Weakness
Sluggish. Mad Digitizer. Sync problems. Poor service. Insufficient Internet support. No 64 bit drivers.
Bottom Line
Palm doesn't care if it works or not. Too many problems for the price. Check out Sony Cleo or other PDA instead.
I started with Palm handspring devices over 6 years ago and have worked my way up through the ranks to the T/X. (The T/X is my fifth device). I must say I still own but no longer use or like the Treo 650- I went back to my Motorola Razr and Tungsten E...
Strength
Easy to use, many features, Wi-Fi
Weakness
expensive, slow Wi-Fi
Bottom Line
T/X is good for the professional/student but a little much for the non-professional/student if it's just used for contacts and scheduling. It has a nice easy to read screen.
