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.
The Palm TX is compatible with PCs running Windows Windows 2000 (SP4) and XP (Outlook synchronization requires MS Outlook 2000, 2002, or 2003; sold separately), and with Macs running Mac OS 10.2.8 to 10.4.

Great all-around PDA - with WiFi, BlueTooth, eReader, web access and more (2008-10-21)
I love the Palm T|X. I have been using it daily ever since I purchased it on a whim in the airport during a business trip two years ago.
I use it to access the web & email via the built-in WiFi, I use the calendar, contacts, note pad features constantly. I'm also a big fan of the games on the Palm to pass the time while waiting in airports, etc. I also read books on the Palm.
The display is crystal clear and the interface is so easy-to-use with the touch screen. I did take the time to learn the Graffiti 2 system to make input even easier, but it's not necessary to learn. There is a virtual keyboard that you can use to type also very easily.
I also use Yahoo contacts & Calendar, and have depended on the ability to sync my Yahoo contacts and calendar with my Palm T|X contact list and calendar. I also read my Gmail on the Palm via the VersaMail app.
The only negatives I've seen are that you can't POP Yahoo mail (not a fault of the Palm), and also you can't listen/watch iTunes files (audio/video) on the Palm -- also a limitation of Apple iTunes, not the Palm.
An all-around winner of a PDA in my opinion.
Palm TX (2008-10-19)
This is one of the best products I have ever owned. I can keep my work
inventory, Music, Games, Alarm clock, Ebooks I want to read in my spare time, 4 different versions on the Holy Bible, my passwords for all my various web subscription, pictures, search the web from anywhere with wireless wifi network...... what more could I want in a palm that is smaller than my wallet?? And I have room for allot more even without adding a 2gb chip...
Very Good Piece of Equipmenrt (2008-10-19)
I like the palm TX. Faster and easier to install and get up and operating than my old T5. I still like the T5 better, because you can change the brightness of the Backlight.The TX touch screen also freezes up and needs to be resett. Battery life could be better. I probably would buy another. Over all a very good tool.
Great PDA (2008-10-18)
The TX has a lot of useful functions built into it. It has so many that I haven't had a chance to use them all after owning min for about a month now. I have found it works great for what I use it for, which is scheduliing appointments on the spot when I am working out in the field. The battery seems to hold a charge for a long time. The only glitch that I've noticed so far is using the syncing software on my Windows Vista Laptop. It's also kind of a hassle to download music into the unit because of the programs it uses. Overall, I think it is well worth the price.
bad screen problems (2008-10-14)
I've had my TX for over 2 years now. It's my third PDA, so I'm not a newbie with these things. The first two were Visors. This is my first Palm-manufactured device, though the Visors both ran on the Palm OS.
Within 6 months, the TX started having screen problems, both registration (press T on the on-screen keyboard but get D or nothing) and lack of response (press really hard and still not get anything). I put up with it for a while, then sent it back for repair in warranty and they fixed it, but did not tell me what they fixed or if the repair was warranted past the end of the initial 1 year device warranty. When I called to ask, I was referred to a line that never answered. Within another couple months, the problems started again.
I bought mine directly from Palm, and got a flip up leather case for it (from Palm, on the same order) which holds credit cards and a couple SD chips in the part that flips down to cover the screen. I'd lay odds that the credit cards and chips have pressed against the screen and caused part of the problem, but, then, Palm sold it to me, didn't they. Guess nobody at Palm thought about what effect that could have on the screen. Also, the Palm forums tell me that I'm far from the only person to have these screen problems, so I doubt that my flip cover and cards were the sole cause.
Other than the screen issue, the unit has been good for me: doesn't lose programs, syncs well (not since my new router, but I think that's the router), nice resolution on the screen.
Personally, after this I will never buy another Palm-manufactured device. I wish they hadn't bought Visor, because those were well-designed and well-manufactured units. I don't know if Palm's quality control is bad that they had some bad screens out there, but I do know I don't like their customer service. All in all, I don't care to risk it.
