NOT a true TFT screen
Reviewer: Computing Review08 September 2007- Overall 6
If anyone thinks they are getting a real TFT (Transflective) screen with the Palm TX, think again. Personally I think there should be a class-action lawsuit against Palm for advertising it on their website as having a 'TFT screen'. It's absolute BULL... Read more

Unless you are a hardcore PDA user, Palm's TX has all the features you will likely ever need. This includes a bright screen, good storage capacity and impressive connectivity, all in a handheld that retails for less than $300. Read more

Palm TX
Reviewer: Mobile Review13 September 2006You shouldn’t consider Palm TX as a substitute to Palm Tungsten T5, this is a supplemental model. Some specs got better, some got worse. Improvements: Some specs got worse compared to the previous model: If we consider Palm TX from the point of view of a faithful Palm OS user, the model with a $300 price tag (in Russia slightly more expensive) is ideal to replace the old handheld, which got lost/ broken/ outdated. The model simply has no direct rivals. The matter in t... Read more

It's fine.
Reviewer: Buyzillion.com3 weeks ago- Overall 6
I had the Tungsten E prior to this, which I loved, and I killed it too soon by trying to charge it overseas. This TX cost over double what I paid for my previous Palm and I just didn't see much of a difference. It plays MP3s, that's why I chose it over the T2. And the playlists are nice and easy to set up. Unfortunately it seems static-y. I've seen other reviews with the same complaint. It's not the headphones since they work fine in my iRiver. In addition, a number o... Read more

Excellent value PDA
Reviewer: Anonymous, Ebuyer.com21 August 2008- Overall 10
This is an excellent value PDA, you have to pay way over 200 quid for an HP iPAQ with similar features and it won't be as easy to use. * Mine came with a UK charger. * Read more

Telling me that I needed to get organized, my wife got me a Palm TX recently for my birthday. I thought it was cool to buck the trend surrounding overhyped Apple products like the iTouch, and instead go for something from the slightly directionless, humble Palm Corp. Its untrendiness does give me some cause for worry: will the company continue to develop the product? From what I've heard, the answer is no; Palm has given up on its PDAs, instead moving toward smartphon... Read more

Reviewer: monty745, Ciao18 July 2008- Overall 8
After years using PDAs, or personal organizers, Palm OS (and with any EPOC32), I reached the difficult decision to make the jump to version 5 operating system, but with a dilemma: the new multimedia functions to those that have These advanced cacharrillos undoubtedly pushed by the system of Microsoft Windows Mobile PDA's and who have graduated, I do not like at all ... both wasted megahertz was not what I was looking for ...
