Great PDA. The wi-fi works great. The battery life is fine. The screen is beautiful with vibrant colors. The software options are broad and readily available. I am very pleased with this PDA.

If what you're looking for is something that will provide instant access to vital and useful information and tools in a compact package the T|X is a must have. You'll save a ton of money buying it at ebay AND you'll save a ton of money and precious time using it. It's tremendously helpful whether for business or pleasure. It's the perfect tool for today's mom.

You can start with basic PDA functions like calendar and contacts but likely you'll find yourself finding more and more things that it can do that will make your life run much more smoothly and pleasantly.

With dozens of great software choices, many of which are free there is nearly no end to the usefulness of the Palm T|X. Taking notes that will easily import to Word or Excel. When words fail you can doodle a picture. SD Cards will easily and greatly expand its memory capabilities. Have a card for work, one for pleasure, one for music, one for movies, one for ebooks. It's the ultimate brag book for photos. Free WiFi is getting easier and easier to come across and so you're not far from web surfing or checking email. Or use Bluetooth technology instead. Shopping is much easier when you can keep lists of what you need, sizes and prices for them all. You'll know when it's a bargain.

A T|X purchased from a reliable ebay vendor is twice the bargain. So go, bid, buy, be glad you did.

Love the TX,,,everything works perfect...really nice screen
outstanding battery life,even surfing the net.

I had a Palm since 1994 so I have lots of software I can use with the TX as well. This model is everything I looked to the Palm back then and today with Bluetooth, WiFi, full screen, and 2GB memory card capabilities. Just got the TX so I need to take it through its paces,specially battery life. Next I may get a the GPS software and receiver to complete it.

although it was used it looked like brand new and in perfect working order.
I got it for my daughter as a x-mas present.

I love that it has so much more room on it for my books and such! it is a little bigger length wise but slimmer and i like it that it is black very sleek looking! It does so many things I am still discovering what it can do.

I bought the Palm T/X several weeks ago. Very impressed with the amount of features the Palm T/X offers. All features are very easy to use after just a brief overview of manual. The calendar and contacts very convienent. Calendar also has a alarm feature that I like and use alot. I have found the memo function and notepad to be very handy also and have already used several times. I use the Palm T/X everyday, several times/day and I depend more and more on it. I was a big user of the Franklin Planner system and reluctant to trust a PDA with all my info. But have found my comfort level has dramatically increased with use of the Palm T/X. If you are in the market for a PDA and do not need or want to deal with the complexity of a 'smart-phone'(ie Blackberry, etc.) overall, I would highly recommend the Palm T/X.

This item was purchased as a gift. The item was to be used during a nursing program. The Palm came with all the software necessary. It is perfect.

I like the palm computer. I started out with a Palm V computer and used it for 4 years. I took 2 years off and just used my computer to keep track of my records and e-mails. It seems that I get more and more e-mail and versamail helps with me catching up with e-mails whenever I get a free moment. I replaced it the Palm T|X because it has the Wifi capability, which is good for me because I am on the road a lot. I keep pictures of my family. The alluminum hard case has been great because I work in environments that would otherwise damage the T|X.

I'm now having problems with the on/off switch, and it turns out the item was an open box, according to palm usa and it's out of warranty. Beware!

Compact and efficient means to keep track of appointments, contacts, tasks, and any other memos. Saves having to carry larger notebooks or planners. Internet connectivity is useful in areas where WiFi exists. Palm technical assistance helped erase original owner's information and transfer my previous Palm E2 information.

What does it do? Other than make phone calls, what doesn't it do?
It has built in wireless web browsing, built in blue-tooth, plays MP3's, video files (on SD memory cards), downloads your e-mail (making it portable), edits and creates Microsoft Office files, plus all of the time-management functions that convinced you to purchase a PDA in the first place. It integrates seamlessly with both MIcrosoft Outlook and Outlook Express. If you use neither of those programs, it also comes packaged with it's own software suite.

How does it stack up against other gadgets?
Video - screen is bigger than the Zune and almost twice as big as a video iPod. Battery life playing video is longer than the less-than-4-hour iPod. Uses SD cards as opposed to internal memory for video, so basically you can store as much video as you have memory for. The backlit screen does OK in bright light, but darker video tends to not have a lot of definition. In normal light and the dark, it's WONDERFUL. I don't recommend using the built in Media software to play video - the Kinoma Player 4.1 makes this thing idiot-proof, universal and easy.

Audio - the PocketTunes software that comes with it is pretty good. You can use your existing music management software to load songs in MP3 format on your SD card, and PocketTunes will play them. It's a pretty darn good MP3 player - the touch-screen control makes it easier to use than 90% of the MP3 players I've owned, and the sound quality is great. The battery life on audio is really good as well - in my experience it's comparable to that of the iPod Nano.

Wireless Web Browsing - works great. I like this new Blazer web browser. It's relatively fast, quick and easy to use. Great for checking your e-mail or the latest headlines. I use the Versamail program that the Palm came with for my e-mail, and I love it. It downloads new messages from my Outlook account when I come home. I can spend my time at home with my family and read my e-mails the next day when I'm elsewhere. If I'm near a wi-fi hotspot, I can use Versamail to download my newest e-mails right there. The wireless does tend to use up the battery quicker, but it's a HUGE improvement over the Zire 72, which had 10 to 15 minutes of battery life once you plugged in a wi-fi adapter.

The one thing that I REALLY like about the Palm is the built-in speaker. I love being able to just set it on my desk while it plays audio files without having to wear headphones. While it's not overly loud, if you ever forget your headphones, you can still enjoy your music and movies.

The negatives are:
The media software it comes with is pathetic. It doesn't allow you to load video directly onto the SD cards - they have to be in the actual unit itself while you sync it with the cable. That is unacceptable. Go to Kinoma's website and get their new software suite - producer and player. The producer allows you to load everything from your latest bit-torrents to video podcasts on your card, and in addition to playing content that you load on the card with the producer program, the player program allows you to play streaming digital media over the wi-fi. If you're in an airport or Starbucks, you can be watching Youtube or Google Video, listening to internet radio or otherwise burning up your time with it.
The bluetooth sync, while faster than it's previous bluetooth incarnation, is still slower than wi-fi or the cable.

It's worth every penny.

I got this unit to replace my Tungsten E, which had developed a high pitched whine that could get very annoying when reading books at night. Much to my pleasure, the TX does not whine, and it is almost as user friendly as the Tungsten E. I still have a few things to learn about it, but for the most part, it operates the same. The speaker in the back is a little bigger, so you can almost hear the music without earphones. The viewing screen itself is a little bigger, but not enough to really notice.
I am very pleased with the purchase.

PROS: Bright, high quality 320 x 480 screen. Wifi setup is simple and intuitive, yet support is present for WEP and WPA. Very good battery life. Wifi hotsync rocks. More stable than Lifedrive. Palm PIM applications are simple, reliable and best in class. Many users report rock-solid stability with the TX.

CONS: Does not come with cradle. No camera, No microphone, No vibrating alarm and no power LED. Does not have built-in drive mode support. Some users have complained about the power switch. Some users have reported stability issues related to Blazer and Versamail. Users have reported stability issues with 3rd party apps, especially those not updated recently.

I have carried my TX every day for the last year and a half and I must say... "Its Love". Why do I love my tx? Well, I can listen to mp3s on the built in speaker or head phones with it, I can watch movies and videos on it(you need the core media player TCMP freeware), I can get on the internet with it, check my email, read news, check weather radar, get movie times with it, get a free service called Avantgo and do all sorts of things with it, I can buy a program called Kinoma and with it I get youtube and google,other streaming video, watch and listen to pod casts and watch live TV on it, with the built in bluetooth I can communicate with any bluetooth device, move pictures from my camera phone to it, store addresses and anything else I can think of on it...This device is only limited by your imagination, those with limited imaginations need not apply. Oh one more thing, the battery will eventually run down as with all electronic devices. When that happens I can be sure that I wont lose anything stored on it because of it's non volitile memory. And while I recharge it I can still use my phone because I use my phone to talk on and my TX to work and play on. So try that with your IPhone when its dead and you have to make a call. My TX can do everything that can do anyway.

I bought the TX a while back and it still works great. It is very easy to learn and it is very affordable. The only down side I see to it is that the computer plays a mean game of chess.

the item was in good condition. I decided to buy it because I need it as a personal assistant. it helps me keep up with my schedule and driving directions. I use to play games as well.
I like Palm based PDA because they have plenty of software for free, they don't crash as bad as Windows based PDAs. However, I think they are not going to make changes to Palm OS anymore. So, I think going to Windows Mobile is the best bet for future devices.

Like: style, cost, battery life, WiFi capablities

Dislike: Palm OS, cannot beam music, complexities

I got one of these for $300 about a year and a half ago. I have used it constantly since then. It has everything anyone could ask for in a Palm and then some. My favorite uses are the Calendar, and the MP3 player. I have also used it to take notes, set tasks for myself, and surf the internet!

The WiFi connection is great and will connect fairly well. I have found the best reception to be when I am in the same room with the wireless router. After about 20 feet the reception drops off the chart. You can use it to connect to the internet, but there are only a few sites that are Palm friendly. One great feature is you can rotate the display 90 degrees, making many more sites viewable.

The display is the biggest one available in the Palm line. It is large enough to view a standard web page without scrolling side to side (when the display is rotated). Pics are lifelike in color. It can even play video, but I have had the most trouble adding video to it. It is not compatible with Media Player, which is a minus. Don't expect to load your latest music video and watch it. Maybe someone else knows how to do it, but it is beyond me.

The bluetooth is amazing. I bought an adapter for my PC and now I sync with the bluetooth, rather than the dongle (which quit working after about a year's use). I have taken pics with my RAZR and sent them to the Palm via bluetooth, looked at 'em with the pic viewer, sent 'em to my PC and printed them; all without a hitch.

The mp3 player that comes with the Palm is not all that good. However, for 20 bucks you can get the full featured player off of the internet and the sound is spectacular. With the upgraded player you can create equalizer settings for various types of music, as well as different environments. I plug it in to an adapter that plays through my radio, and the sound is as good as a CD! I also have noise cancelling headphones that enhance the music quality. I don't keep any songs on the Palm itself. I keep my songs on SD cards. Pop in a 2G SD card and you're good to go for hours.

Make sure you get screen protectors. They are fairly expensive, but indispensible. You will be writing on the screen constantly, and screen protectors will greatly extend the usability of the unit.

On the downside, the battery is not user replaceable, and here recently it has started to weaken. I haven't tried to have it repaired yet, since it is still good for about three hours of use. However, it used to last a lot longer.

Syncing with Outlook is one great feature. After I sync to Outlook, I then sync to my Yahoo calendar, and even if I don't have my Palm with me, I have all of my appointments on my home and office computers.

This is the third Palm I have owned and by far the best. I really don't need to upgrade to the latest LifeDrive, because this one is more than adequate. I have saved a bundle on MP3 players, flash drives, bulky calendars, easily misplaced address books, etc, because this one unit does it all.

Easy to use, good pc interface. Easy to find Applications including try before you try applications. Thousands of applications available. Many Data Bases to write your on apps.Comes with alot of apps right out of the package.

Nice screen. Easy to use and navigate. Somewhat more complicated than my previous palm, but mainly due to the wifi. I use the email function on a daily basis - sync before I leave home and check at a break at work. Fast!

The web browser is adequate, but difficult to access encripted and passward protected sites. 90% of graphics appear - there are some that do not load.

Tons of memory. Thin and light - much nicer than a lifedrive. BAttery lasts suprisingly long - 1 week of daily use.
