This is my second Palm, received the TX exactly 5 years after my wife gave me the Palm III xe for my birthday in 2000. I had used the Palm III xe almost on a daily basis since then and am now continuing with the TX. The TX is a world of a difference. ...

Cons: Graffiti bad; wi-fi bad; sync bad; Palm bad

I've owned my Palm T/X for about 8 months. I keep thinking I'll get to like it, but I must say that this is one of the biggest pieces of crap I have ever owned. I am at a loss as to why Palm is recommended. Previously I owned a succession of ...

Pros: Great value if it meets your needs out of the box
Cons: You need additional software to truly integrate with Microsoft Outlook.

I agree with the other reviewers, so I’ll concentrate on Outlook support. Over the holidays I finally got around to migrating / integrating my Palm TX PDA with Microsoft Outlook. This is my third Palm Pilot. I had a Palm Pilot Pro in the ...

Pros: Screen, Headphone Jack, Card Slot, Speed, etc...
Cons: Too Easy To Brick the Device.

I got this in December for myself for a christmas present, however I've had NOTHING, BUT TROUBLE with it.The good is that the 480x320 screen is nice, colors are vibrant and beautiful, and the unit's structure is quite nice to hold in one's ...

My main use of the Tx has been as an ebook reader and audio book player using the 'Documents to Go', acrobat reader, and the 'Pocket Tunes' (MP3 player application) which come with the Tx. These 3 applications are the most usefull apps(best) which come ...

Pros: Great Device. Can not get along with out.
Cons: Be Wary of System Crashes and Unresponsive Touch Screen (Freezing up)

I have been using my Palm T/X for over 3 years and love it a lot. I must tell you that I have experienced frequent crashes and screen freezes. I hate when the screen freezes and won't respond to the stylus and I have to reboot. I don't know if it is ...

Pros: Nice and easy to use, but forget about seeing the screen outdoors.
Cons: Screen absolutely sucks when you go outside, you can't see a thing on it.

If anyone thinks they are getting a real TFT (Transflective) screen with the Palm TX, think again. Personally I think there should be a class-action lawsuit against Palm for advertising it on their website as having a 'TFT screen'. It's absolute BULL. This is anything BUT true TFT, it completely washes out in sunlight. Go take a look at a Garmin GPS TFT screen and you will see TRUE TFT technology, their screen gets brighter, crisper, more defined and much easier to see even in direct sunlight.
If you need to see your Palm screen outdoors, forget it with the TX, you'll need alot of shade or you should go indoors to see the screen. What a complete disappointment.
