Ordered it and it would not sync with my computer. After spending quite a bit of time with someone on the phone, they assured me that a new one would be sent to me because they could not get it to sync either. That was about a year ago. I have written them twice, asking for either my replacement that was promised or a refund for the money spent-have not heard back either way. I really thought this was going to be a great product, but I guess I will never know.

One of the ultimate Palms, got mine for $19, everything about it was in perfect working order. I gave this 5 stars because honestly, if anyone buys this product in 2015 or beyond, you should know what you are buying. This isn't meant to be a replacement for an iPhone, nor is it trying to be, this is a near perfect personal organizer that can do extras. And to be honest this and a lot of Palm's could do PIM better than than most of whats out there now.

This Palm can do a basic (but outdated) wireless Internet, has full Bluetooth, an excellent display and battery life, and finally fixes a lot of the bugs and patches missing features while adding new ones, such as multi-tasking in Applications when the Home button is held down. It's literally the only tablet (in honesty, mini-tablet) outside of the bug-riddled LifeDrive that Palm made and it is great to hold. My only favorite to this Palm is the m130, as this one gives a wide assortment of features.

The back cover can sometimes be annoying, but it easily clicks and slides on and off as needed. The case is a deep, navy blue color with a black, polyester-like flip-back cover, and it presents the standard four buttons and five-way Navigation control in the center. The SD card is really simple--simply push in to insert, and push down to pop the card out where it can be pulled.

The power button is tricky to press on the T|X; use the front buttons whenever possible. Otherwise, the build is very solid, like the rest of the Tungsten series, and unlike the iPaq I had tried to buy and use a few years ago, dropping it didn't break the screen.

As for usage, even for beginning computer usage, the operating system is as simple as any other Palm system released, with 5.4 "Garnet" included; in comparison, it honestly is like a jump from Mac OS 8 with the original Palm OS 5 to Mac OS 9. Palm is very simple to use, and if you use mobile sites when browsing and leave your router with WPA1 level protection only or lower, the wireless still works rather well. Anything higher will NOT work, and full sites may cause Blazer to fail to load the site, or even a panic (i.e. hot reset). Do NOT expect this to behave like a modern-day handheld would--it's a vintage computer that works as such. It is still great for music with PocketTunes pre-loaded and Documents To Go by DataViz for doing Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. Apps are still available for it--some I recommend include iSpin (a mini UI shell with a file manager) along with the Mac OS 9 skin or the Windows XP skin, Khroma, and VfsDOS. Also, if you have extra time, several classic games are a joy to play on these little machines. CardTXT is also a great addition, with plenty more exploring you can do on Bing or Google. For more performance, though the wireless does not work in most builds, find and download an old copy of Gnu/Linux for Palm.

In summary, I recommend this if you're a Palm enthusiast, or if you want to find a cheap Linux tablet-like computer to play with. Otherwise, this is a great little machine, and deserves it's place in Palm history, though Palm is gone now...

I've been using a Palm Pilot sinse 2000. I purchased a Tunstun T3 about 7 years ago and it finaly died. Prety good life span in todays tech. I am a 100% disabled Veteran with short term memory loss. I keep all of my appointments in it and it reminds me the day before about the appointment. I use the task function as shopping list and If Im going to the VA I seave it on the callander, and If I'm going somewhere else I leave the task list up. That way if I forget where I'm going I just check out my palm. I loved my T3 and this does everything the T3 did plus more. I can even watch a movie while I at the VA.
As I said I can't live without it.

Its great that they got rid of the cradle. The one with my T3 quite after about 3 month so I had to charge and Sync through a USB adapter I had to buy seperatly.

The new TX come with a dedicated power supply and a seperate sync cable. The only down side is the USB sync cable wont work with windows 7. You have to do it with through bluetooth. If your running win 7 and your computer doesn't have bluetooth than buy a good quality Dogle, around 20 bucks, a cheap dogle wont work properly. I also want to add that none of the older Palm Pilots with USB sync with win 7 but they all have bluetooth built in as does the TX. Handy for a lot of laptop users.

I've had it with the [hard to read] green screen, so I figured it was time to upgrade. I knew it would be a pain because I sync with 2 PCs (one Vista PC at home and one XP PC at work), and the one at work I sync with Outlook calendar/tasks and Palm Desktop memos/contacts. Complicated! I've had a Palm since 1998, so I have a ton of data that I wanted to preserve. Before you get started, make sure you sync first and make backup copies of the entire Palm directory (so you know what it looked like before and can recover the data files if the installation/sync fails).

Cons: Manual and user-friendly upgrade instructions did not accompany the product. You have to go online to read FAQs, user manual, and troubleshooting guidelines to figure out how to upgrade. I had to uninstall and reinstall the software (old then new) several times, and each time I installed, I got a different outcome. I spent hours on 2 nights trying to upgrade at home, then another couple of hours upgrading at work. I'm still not done because I discovered that I need another software (Intellisync) to split the sync at work (sync with Outlook for calendar/tasks and sync with Palm Desktop for memos/contacts). The conduit that accompanies the Palm T/X only lets you sync with Palm Desktop OR Outlook -- all of it (memos, contacts, calendar, tasks). A cradle does not come with the Palm T/X -- it's extra. The cover (case?) that comes with the Palm T/X looks cheap and doesn't even cover the Palm. It looks too small. It's not easy finding stores that sell Palm cases, and I don't want to buy it online (need to see and feel).

Pros: Much easier to read than the older models I had (m500 and IIIx). The screen is a nice size and you can change from portrait to landscape very easily. Wi-fi connection to the Internet is very easy and simple to use. Documents To Go comes with the bundle. The media accomodates video in addition to pictures, so it's cool watching videos on it. The big plus for me is the color...that's a big step up from the older models I had. Once you get past the installation of the upgrade, it's fun to use and enjoy new features. Perhaps it's much easier for new Palm users than for upgraders.
