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.

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: <ul>

Added ability for the device to scan for available networks

Improved connection logic to automatically connect to available compatible networks

A free 30-day subscription to all T-Mobile Wi-Fi hotspots </ul> 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

I love it!!!!!!!.......2007-06-11

I use mine mostly for the ebooks and I absolutely love it, call me lazy but it's more convenient than holding a book. You can eat and read, lay in bed and read. It is not hard on the eyes. I play some games and use the calendar and I have pictures on it and everything is clear and vivid and I just love it.

Palm TX.......2007-06-10

I have now tried 4 new Palm Tx and there was something major wrong with all of them. The screen froze and you had to wait until the battery ran out until you could reboot, it would not synchronize or it would sync only some of the files, or each time you would try to sync it would reboot the Palm and do nothing more. The last one I took to the Palm store for them to setup and they could not get it to work either. Don't know if it is just the Palms that Amazon is selling -- the Palm store said they have not seen this problem previouslhy.

Makes life more convenient.......2007-06-09

I like this because all my information is right there. And I specifically bought this model because I can also access the Internet with it. Very handy!!

Almost perfect.......2007-06-04

I am very impressed with the TX. I have been using an m515 for the last few years and was skeptical as to whether or not an upgrade was necessary. Once I began using the TX though, I knew I made a good decision. Some of the key benefits include the landscape/portrait screen option, wifi of course, and the overall application performance. The only drawback is the noncompatibility with palm's own cradle kit. Almost 90% of the time the TX is docked on the cradle, it freezes. Palm support has no answer for this....in fact they do not answer questions regarding this problem. Very frustrating. If you can sync your palm with bluetooth to your pc then you will be extremely happy with the TX.

Good Value and Features PDA.......2007-06-01

I am a product designer and can check E-mail and store pictures of my work in this device. Now I don't have to carry a mini-portfolio with me. Ability to read PDFs is nice too.
