I have used Palm products since 2000, but since my T/X "died", I won't recommend a Palm product. I lost the ability to connect to WiFi after an update from Palm that was supposed to connect to VPN in a more secure fashion. Tech support is horrible. "Henry" and "Mike" wasted my time. I am still trying to get warranty service arranged, but I had to fax the proof of purchase and they are still waiting on this fax - I am not sure in which continent it ended up! I was excited to convert over to iPod Touch, but some of the software I needed for work wasn't available until the past few months. I think Palm itself is dying a slow, painful death. Their support for products is horrible and the quality is not what it once was. Try a Blackberry or iPhone/iPod Touch... avoid Palm like the plague!

Its a fantastic product and I'm mystified as to why somebody would dislike it...





UPDATE: I'm further mystified as to why a reviewer would re-post a bad review of it every 30 seconds for a couple hours. To think people say that I have too much time on my hands. That crap takes stamina...

Very good product, pretty much everything you would want in a palm pilot, especially if you are using it for epocrates and medical school. Just wish it had more memory.

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:

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.

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.
