Recommendations: mobile-stream.com's homewithfind.prc gets you a home icon that also has find and most recent app features. Backupman saves your data to sd card for crash-recovery in the field. Palmpdf reads native adobe pdfs. Boxwave screen protector is pricey but worth it. Avoid apps which are not known to be compatible with TX. Follow Palm's recommended upgrade procedure if you are moving to the TX from another Palm OS PDA.

It doesn't have the most cutting edge, up-to-the-minute new toys, of course, but it's got a good processor, a clear color screen, WiFi, and a huge viewscreen with easy clicks to turn the display horizontal or vertical. That's all I need!

This unit was purchased after a search was done for PDAs well suited for nurses. My wife needed one for easy reference as she is a life flight nurse and needs a lot of info at her finger tips. The screen is easy to read and easy to use. Downloading is easy once you get past the learning curve. Many programs are written with this device in mind and available on the net for download. All in all, she is pleased with it and I'm happy with the deal we got here on eBay.

Great device, does all it supposed to do. good battery life, Bought because I already have the Tungsten E and upgraded to the t/x. Easy to use and a very nice piece. software is easy to use and well thought out. recommend the t/x for anyone that needs wifi.

This PDA turns on instantly and takes about 1-2 seconds to connect to the internet! It also has a great variety of programs, is easy to use, and has excellent features. I highly recommend buying the palm TX!

Everything was fine. Price -good / shipping good. Only gripe is he never left feedback on the transaction even after 4 emails from me.

Holds a ton of information and pictures, has a place for a SD Card which can hold even more info and pictures.

Assists in organization, I purchased mine to use for work. It had a lot of medical books installed which I use almost every day.

Better than carrying a lot of books, address book, calender, and photo album. Plus I have games on it which is fantastic for when you are waiting at the dr office, license branch, etc. Makes time go bye much faster.

Holds charge a long time. Has a wall charger or you can charge it from the computer using the usb cord.

I recently decided to upgrade my PDA. My old Sony Clie' had seen better days and was pretty short on memory. I had one of the original Palm IIIc back in the day and liked it pretty well. I have two co-workers who have the Palm T/X and had the opportunity to test drive them before I bought one. Outstanding color and resolution! Plus, it holds and runs all my medical programs without any difficulty. If you need a PDA for work or scheduling, this is the PDA for you.

It is a product I needed... And the price was right..... I am entering nursing school and this is a great product.

Great buy & good & honest seller to do biz with... Very pleased, TY :) Writing this review thing is driving me nuts.. hard to come up with more to say, what happened to Leave Feedback ( ?? ) rhetorical, just trying to come up with 100 characters to satisfy the Guidelines - hope I've gotten that :)

Seller was a great communicator and answered all my questions in a very timely manner. Item was in great condition, as promised, and shipping time was quick. Only positive things to say about it! A++++

I wanted something that I can learn how to access the wireless world at a minimum price. this is a neat starter unit for me to do so. It is in great condition and came with the needed accessories also. Thanks to a great Ebayer I am on my way.

Nice Product if you are in range of wireless. Takes a bit of understanding but is worth it if you need it. Using this rather than my laptop, easier to carry while traveling. also use it at home on my home wireless network

I love the Palm T/X. It is easy to use and has great applications. This has become a necessary tool to help me stay organized. I highly recommend it! It is worth the price.

I love the compact design, it's ease of use, and it's handiness. I am a LPN who is almost finished with my RN and with this gadget and the software I've put on it I no longer have to haul around 3 books at the clinical site. I have everything I need at my fingertips. The wireless internet allows me to always have the latest information also. I am able to check for updates anywhere there's a connection for me to link up to. Not to mention that it's perfect for me to keep up on the latest scores too! I also have some games loaded on it for my down time. Love the bright, vibrant colored screen and the ability to fully expand the memory to bring along all of my photos to share. Best of the best in one unit. It was my first purchase of this nature so I considered it an investment and did my homework before I shelled out the cash for it. Well worth the money.

I need this for a Geocaching event and worried I wouldn't get it in time. It arrived a day before I was told and was able to load it up and be ready. It was missing it's stylus but I hardly use them anyway.

I sure could have used this while I was in business and not after retirement. But Oh well, it sure is a great way to keep information and contacts all in the same pocket. It is all I hoped it would be and more. Thank you for a great product.It really works great and has a real clear screen and easy operation too. I would recomend this to others, especially those of you in a customer sales and service territory. Great for future appointments and meeting and reminders of promises given.This is a great way to do business without having to write down your notes.I do wished it came with an extra SD memory card and a hard case to protect it.Some screen savers would also be helpful.

I think this is as close to the perfect PDA as Palm has come so far. Huge, bright and high definition screen, WiFi & Bluetooth, SD slot now carrying 4G of memory, Accessory slot for GPS or WiFi....wait one, it's already on-board! Good battery life, yet still manages to make a nest in my shirtpocket.
The downside? Hmmmmm. I'll work on that for a few months.

This is my second PDA in 6 years. I'm very impressed with the changes made since my last one. The T/X is slim, has a huge screen, easy to use and has great features. I love being able to use the Wi-Fi (my personal favorite option) and connecting to my computer (or printer) via bluetooth is great - no looking for cables to hook up, etc. I do wish it came with a better case, what they send in the box is useless. I would definately buy this same model again if I had a 'do over'.

A good palm if you dont want to get one of the super expensive ones. The features are great and the wireless is great. Uploading apps is very simple and user frendley.

I owned a Palm IIIxe for over 7 years. When it finally became unusuable, I shopped for a replacement. I found the Palm TX and have been thrilled with it. It gives me the familiarity with the Palm OS, then adds a bunch of new features. It is fast with a great screen. The icing on the cake is WiFi! It's great to be able to quickly check my email or the news without having to turn on a PC.
And of course, I got a great deal on eBay.

I bought a tx in november. i am now on my second one and Palm wanted a credit card # to try and charge me for the technical charge for the repair. I will not have another palm product in my life time. My experience with Palm products is that they are nothing but JUNK.

Unhappy in Prince Rupert
