Beware older PDA purchases.
Bought in good faith as wanted a PDA. Knew it was old but trusted it was still functional. Got device and noticed extensive corrosion on stylus. Charged it for 3 hours as stated (zero response on powering up) and then overnight but still zero response on powering up. It didn’t show anything when connected to power so suspect that battery is dead. Supplier should have tested due to age of PDA but obviously did not. Most disappointing. Have asked for money return and will not send PDA back as it’s useless.

So good I bought it twice ... errr...
I loved my Palm TX, bought from Amazon. It is (was) my third Palm, and my fourth PDA. I upgraded from my Tungsten T to get wi-fi with WEP security. That alone makes it really great. I can update my e-mails all over the house, browse, update and synchronise documents and listen to MP3s and podcasts. I can even listen to some web radio and view movies, and play tunes on the car radio with a Belkin gizmo. OK, so far so good.After nearly two years my TX began to fail with digitiser problems. It became harder to reset the stylus until it finally failed to reset entirely. I could still work it using the buttons for weeks, but someday I had to do a hard reset, and that meant curtains as I could not set the stylus at the setup. This was a tragedy as it was a really great machine. I bought a cheap one (£100) and I was off again. I could not live without it.Consider all this. You can carry it more easily than a laptop. With a 512MB SD card it holds loads of tunes and podcasts. It synchs "Documents to Go" so that you can do drafts on the move. It has a great colour screen. I have a £10 Targus IR portable keyboard. I found that I could hardly live without it.The down sides are that (amongst other things) the browser is very limited. It works on most things, but not Wikipedia, which I can live without. Based on my experience it might be a good idea to buy a case to protect the screen. When it failed nobody would fix it - the Palm website was useless (as usual) and the listed repair places simply refused to reply. But despite the downsides I reckon it is really good value and superb quality.At the price it is worth viewing it as expendable. That annoys me as my other three old PDAs are all still working. Who fixes things nowadays? In my heart I know - the first Plam TX I bought one did not fail me, I wore it out through overuse. I plan to wear the second one out too.How else do you collect your e-mails with attachments for free in the town square in Georgiopoulis in Crete, listen to "In Our Time" podcasts in the Paris Metro and refine your last minute draft presentation in the living room?I love it. For me, the Palm TX is better than a laptop anyday.

Knocks spots off a PocketPC
After a bad experience with a PocketPC which was very slow and did not sync up well with Outlook in my opinion I had pretty much given up on PDAs. However, I decided to try again and with the Palm TX I have certainly not regretted the choice.This is a brilliant device with good battery life, excellent WiFi (including secure access points) and easy to use software. The DocumentsToGo software does a good job of synching with Outlook although the Excel sheets are a bit hard to read or require a lot of scrolling - you take a choice here. Web use is excellent through the WiFi connection and sites, such as the BBC News site are really usable - surprising for such a small handheld device.The only downside, if you can call it that, is the downloadable games which are pretty addictive. This is particularly true of Bejeweled 2 which is brilliant and certainly shows the colour display capabailites off to good effect.For anyone thinking of buying a PDA which is easy to use, has good battery life and an excellent set of features then I would recommend the Palm TX.

Extremely disappointing
I have been a fan of Palm PDAs since Psion stopped manufacturing, and I deeply regret having to say this, but don't buy the Tungsten TX. As many other reviewers have found, it has a serious problem with its digitiser. I have had three now, and all of them have stopped detecting the stylus on an area of the screen. The latest one developed the fault after only five months, which is ridiculous.Unfortunately, I do not feel that I can trust Palm's products any longer.

Nice piece of kit
I've only had my Palm TX for a couple of days so far but already I've found it very useful. Gone is the rather large and bulky filofax, once I transfered all my contacts.I've already added more memory and at the risk of my wife deriding it as a boy's toy I carry it with me know wherever I go. She, incidentally and rather ironically has found a use for it already in taking notes, or getting me to take notes for something rather important whilst we where out. The Blu-Tooth connection is good allowing me to connect to the internet through my mobile and the wi-fi works okayish with my network. The compact size and weight make it unnoticable in the pocket and the access screens are very easy to understand and quite user friendly.I've also discovered there is an awful lot of useful freeware out there for Palm's, but my wife is now wondering why I need sixteen clocks and the Australian holiday schedule?If I had a wish for this however I would ask that it had a USB connection rather than the rather tough to get out and looks like it is going to break hotsync connection. I also would like it to be compatible with my multi card reader so I can view my photographs whilst on site rather then lugging my laptop, but that's not going to happen. I actually asked Palm if there where any plans for such a facility in the pipeline, would you believe it ,there are not.
