Product Description Affordable Wi-Fi is here. Introducing the Palm TX handheld. With built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology this is the wireless device you've been waiting for.
Amazon.com Product Description Created for today's fast-paced mobile landscape, the sleekly lightweight Palm TX handheld keeps you connected to your most important data--from email to files stored on your office PC--while you're away from your desktop with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. It also features a high-resolution 320 x 480-pixel screen (with portrait and landscape orientation modes), a fast Intel 312 MHz ARM-based processor, expansion slot for Secure Digital (SD), MultiMedia (MMC), and Secure Digital I/O (SDIO) cards. The 128 MB of non-volatile flash memory (of which approximately 100 MB is available for files and software) protects your documents and information, even if the device is not charged and the power runs down. And, of course, the Palm TX features Palm's suite of information management applications, the ability to edit Word- and Excel-compatible files, and synchronization with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only). Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity Stay connected easily when you're on the go with the built-in Wi-Fi wireless connectivity (802.11b), which enables you to access email and browse the Web at hotspots such as at coffee shops and in airports, or in your office if you have a wireless LAN network. You can even retrieve documents from your main computer with the included WiFile LT software. The Palm TX also comes the following enhancements: - Added ability for the device to scan for available networks
- Improved connection logic to automatically connect to available compatible networks
- Three steps to easily set up a new network connection
- A free 30-day subscription to all T-Mobile Wi-Fi hotspots
With built-in wireless Bluetooth connectivity (version 1.1), you can synchronize the Palm TX with a Bluetooth-enabled computer from across the room (within a range of 10 meters, or approximately 30 feet). But that's just the start. Using a compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone, you can send and receive e-mail and connect to the Web, send multimedia (MMS) or text (SMS) messages, and even automatically dial any number in your handheld's Contact's application. (You can also synchronize data the "old-fashioned" way via the USB connection at the base of the handheld.) For mobile professionals, the Palm TX provides all the conveniences of managing email on the road. With Wi-Fi access or Bluetooth technology, you can check corporate or campus email as well as personal accounts; download, read and edit a Word or Excel report on the fly; synchronize Outlook contacts, calendar, tasks and memos; and work with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, using VersaMail software, to synchronize email and calendar Expansion Capabilities The expansion card slot for MMC, SD and SDIO formats lets you insert a memory card from a digital camera and view photos on the large, color display; you can even can add transitions between photos and present them as a slideshow. The Palm TX handheld's compatibility with SD Cards up to 2GB lets road warriors carry a few favorite home videos and be entertained on long trips. Support for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files With the included DataViz Documents To Go software, you rehearse your PowerPoint presentation discreetly in an airport, make last-minute changes to a Word document, and check the numbers in an Excel spreadsheet and update them on the spot. The Palm TX comes with support for native Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. And with the included Adobe Reader for Palm OS, you can download and view converted Acrobat files. Multimedia The Palm TX comes bundled with Pocket Tunes MP3 player for playing music files or Podcasts, which allows you to create and edit play lists, shuffle songs and navigate by album, artist or genre. The Palm TX also includes built-in software for viewing digital photos and video clips. And with MobiTV software (sold separately), you can view a wide range of television programs, including news, sports and entertainment, directly on the Palm TX handheld. Operating System and Software Veteran Palm OS handheld users will immediately notice the new Favorites view, which provides easy access to applications, files, and folders. The installed Palm OS 5.4 also introduces the Files application, which enables easy navigation among folders and files. It uses the intuitive and easy-to-learn Graffiti 2 writing software to input data into the handheld (as well as an on-screen keyboard). Windows users can synchronize their calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes with Microsoft Outlook. The Palm OS features the following organizer applications: - Contacts: Lets you store several addresses for each contact, and with new fields for more phone numbers, multiple e-mail addresses, instant messenger IDs, and Web sites.
- Calendar: Use the new Agenda view to see upcoming calendar events, tasks due, and important e-mail, and color-code your events to provide an easy way to reference your calendar in the Agenda, Day, Week, and Month views. Take more notes, or synchronize more details from your desktop, in the larger Memos and Notes fields.
- Tasks: Use tasks with alarms and repeating tasks to set reminders for important commients.

PDA not Phone September 4, 2010 Silvergriffin (West Deptford, NJ USA) I've used the Palm family of products from day one. This is my 2nd TX & I loved it. I've had no problems with the actual machine, but I can't get it to sync on my new Windows 7 computer. Customer support is pretty non exsistent now that they no longer make it. So while I still like it I'm worried about losing my info. I like the PDA without phone [as this is] and wish they had continued to keep a line of non-phone PDAs. Unfortunately this is the end of the line. I had intended to keep buying TXs from whomever still stocked them, but if I can't sync it with my computer...
old timer found a replacement August 17, 2010 academic A reprieve for a few years - as Palm no longer makes PDAs. This refurbished TX helps me keep organized with appointments and contacts without the necessity of an un-needed data plan or "smart" phone. Sometimes simple is better.
mostly good Palm TX handheld August 12, 2010 Larry Wetzl I like this product overall but I am having trouble powering it off, as the only way to do so is via the power button at the top. My PDA has no scratches and usually roams around my front pocket. I have talked with other users of this PDA and they have complained about the same problem. I haven't tried Palm customer support, but i'm assuming they'll refer me to the poeple I purchased it from. It seems more like a design flaw than anything else. I just thought I'd give others a heads up. I purchased this Palm from a reseller for about a decent chunk of change. It's a great overall PDA. However, the power button is flimsy. I have not dropped it or anything. It's just slow to respond. My first TX, the power button stopped responding within about 3 weeks. The people I ordered it from were nice and replaced it. I'm on my third TX and have been noticing the same problem again after 4 months, although eventualy I can get the button to work if I keep pushing. I can turn the palm on with any of the buttons at the bottom, but that brings me to whatever preset program that is assocaited with it.
Lousiest product I ever bought July 30, 2010 Michael S. Van Meter (Elkins Park, Pa.) You'd think that a company with as much experience with touch screens as Palm,
would make them usable. Not so with the tx. First one developed dead spots almost Immediately
then came the calibration errors. This piece of junk cannot be accurately. No difference
after they replaced the screen and the on off switch. I went through their tech service
department and they kept wanting me to hard reset and that didn't help. I can tell em it's a
software flaw, but they don't admit it. Guess they'd rather have disgruntled customers.
Even if you're a palm addict... bypass this offering. It's a waste of good money and
almost useless.
Great working machine. July 28, 2010 Harold J. Lake Jr. I have owned my palm for several years now and have never had any problem with it's software. I have read other reviews stating that this particular system is known for crashing with a complete loss of information. This has never happened since I have owned this product. I currently use it daily at work with the program epocrates - it has never let me down. I have even dropped the palm several times without damage, although I do have mine wrapped in a stainless steel rhino skin cover. After several years, I feel that I made a great purchase - even if my TX dies tomorrow.
