Disappointed with customer service September 1, 2008 J. E. Lathem (Greenville, SC) I have purchased my fifth and probably last Palm. I am trying to transfer my information (on my PC) to this new Palm. I have had no success. I spent about 5 hours with the "customer service" rep and the self help web site. This was a total waste--I still have not been able to hot synch to get the information on the PC to the new Palm. As it is the new unit is in the box and I guess I will donate it to a charitable organization in that it is useless to me. Ernie Lathem
Great PDA August 31, 2008 C. J. Spencer (kansas) The Palm TX goes beyond the traditional PDA. Built in Wifi works great. Areal plus when you are on the road. With all the added palm feature this is great for work or relaxation.
Satisified August 30, 2008 M. Flanagan So far I have had no problems with my Palm. I only use it for basic things such as the calender and internet, but it's been great!
A great product at a great price August 27, 2008 W. A. Vorhees (Seoul, Korea) Wow, can't believe I've settled on other Palms til now. I began my love affair with Palm Pilots beginning with the Handspring Visor, then the Visor Deluxe, since then, I've owned the Palm M500, Zire 72, and now the TX. 1. WiFi - Awesome! I've been connecting everywhere I go. granted, sometimes it's hard to find a hotspot, but after only three weeks of use, I've been able to connect at shopping malls, coffee shops, and two airports. Think of it, you're traveling and you need to get that e-mail off right away. What better way to do than with this device. I was very pleased with the speed of connection and ease of use. 2. Bluetooth - I haven't had an opportunity to use the bluetooth feature, my generic bluetooth keyboard which worked with my Zire 72 would not work with this device. It took a bit of messing around to get the bluetooth to work. I decided to replace my generic keyboard with a palm keyboard. Hope that works. 3. Screen - Wow! 480x340 bright color screen! How awesome is that! Also, the ability to flip the screen is awesome for photos and videos. I haven't tried watching a movie on the device yet, but am hopeful. (Would be nice if Palm would include an app in its software bundle to resize and/or covert movies. Oh well, finding a freeware should be no biggie.) 4. One of my favorite uses of the palm is that I can take all my earthcomber maps with me. Though the amount of memory is nice, I was a bit frustrated that my maps seemed to get hung up more on the TX than it did on my Zire 72. 5. Favorites - it's a cool looking splash screen, but in my opinion, it's a bit redundant. I'd rather eliminate the favorites and go directly to my apps. SIMPLICITY IS ALWAYS BETTER, GUYS!
A great gadget for grown ups August 26, 2008 Rebecca K. Porter (Belleville, WI USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Bought this for my husband. In a word he loves it. Is it the lastest in technology? No, but personally we don't need or want an expensive smart phone contract. This is a gadget for professionals. He needed something to take information in Office formats from the house in his travels. He also needed something to access the web. The editing option if fantastic. Saves the day many times. We have Vista. Downloaded the patch from Microsoft and the two have had no problems playing nicely. Forget the old reviews about this topic. It is fixed. Just get the patch. This is a great grown-up toy. Does it play games and music? Yes, but that is not his thrust of interest. It is a great tool.
