Product Description:
The Palm T|X handheld is the affordable handheld with total wireless connectivity that you've been waiting for. With built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies, you can check e-mail, browse the web and work wherever you want. Its large color display and sleek design are anything but business as usual.
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.
Compatibility
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.

Palm TX handheld, flip cover, USB sync cable, power adapter, 3-step setup poster, Graffiti 2 sticker, Software Install CD-ROM with Palm Desktop, Tutorial, Getting Started Guide, User Guide, and bonus software.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - TX Good, Amazon Deal, Not So Good
This would have been a great deal if the price of the Palm TX actually was $399. However, since the MSRP of the now-discontinued TX was only $299, the deal is not so hot at only a 9% reduction from the true MSRP. Note that Palm only makes and sells Treo and Centro phones these days; they're out of the PDA business. That being said, the TX is still a great little PDA that offers 128mb of ram memory and WiFi. It sync's w/ your Outlook calendar and contact list, surf's the Internet, and plays a ... Read More
Rating: - Overall, pleased
I have found this PDA works well and can be setup with iSync in Leopard (Mac) thus will import/export data to iCal and Contacts without issues. While bluetooth can be used, along with WIFi the first sync with a Mac must be wired through USB and from there settings changed via Palm OS for bluetooth communications.
The image display is quite good while the display for Office and other text related items are like reading text related items. Exporting or sending of Excel expense report to the ... Read More
Rating:  - Flaky touchscreen digitizer detracts
For the first 10 months of owning my T|X, I thought it was the greatest ever - a 5 out of 5. I suspect many of the good reviews were written by people who hadn't owned theirs long.
At month 10, my touchscreen digitizer started losing its calibration more and more frequently. I sent it in to Palm for repair (and their customer service isn't very easy or fast) and received a rebuilt unit. That one lasted about 4 months (just beyond the warranty) and its digitizer started flaking out.

Rating: - Does the job, and does it well
Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because a 5 star review would imply it's perfect. Very few things are perfect, but this is darn close as long as you're a fan of the Palm OS.
I ordered a Palm TX to replace the aging Sony Clie Palm PDA I bought used an eternity ago. The Clie is still running which is an amazing testament to it's batteries (it has to be what, 6 years old?) but the battery only lasts a few days now instead of a week or more, and I figured I needed something with more ...

Rating: - Great PDA but manuals but hardcopy manuals are missing
The Palm TX has all the features as advertised. Great unit.
Cons: USB cable and power connection are a bit obtuse. It would be better to have a cradle. Manuals are only on PDF (download). Maybe I missed a turn somewhere on the manuals but my conclusion is that no manual is formatted for the Palm itself!
