Electronics : Palm TX Handheld
Rating: 
- 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.

- unsatisfied customer.
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,
Victoria Barnum

- 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.
Rating: - Do NOT buy this Palm!
Do NOT buy this Palm! I bought this product in January and have spent more hours trying to de-bug it than I have time for. Who knew recurring appts that do not end until after 2020 will keep you from syncing? or that time zone conflicts will also mess up your software? Tech support's main goal is to keep you from making a warranty claim. If you are super tech savvy or have tons of hours to spend solving problems, then maybe this product is for you--otherwise don't waste your money!

- OK value - good, but not great
Do not pay more than $150 for the TX. The large screen is really nice. The best feature. The large screen is nice for sharing snapshots with friends. I use the TX as a toy. The wifi is nice for web browsing on the road. Video capability is limited. Plays short videos OK, but larger videos (TV shows, movies) do not work well or not at all. Web browser does not play videos. Programs to overcome these limitations are availabe from 3rd parties, but cost extra money. I do not like to spend extra money, hence the low rating. Bluetooth to cellphone connection for internet connection does not always work (yes, I have a data plan). Probably because there is no way to manually set a DNS as I can do when connecting a cell phone to a PC. I would recommend the XO laptop from the One Laptop Per Child Foundation as a better value for the money for a small basic function portable computer over the Palm TX.
