Digital camera reviews of Palm TX Handheld with Hard Case
Digital camera Review: I'm in Love!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm loving this device.. it's amazing.. Very useful and easy to manage...
The only thing, cost one star from my rate, is my device didn't recognize my SD 4GB FlashMemory.. I bought together with palm, but it doesn't work.. It's working in my computer and digital camera... Shame...
Digital camera Review: I'm learning
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not the most technical person, but it's easy to use. I have tons of data at my finger tips, which makes my work easier.Digital camera Review: Inconsistent
Summary: 3 Stars
I decided it was time for an upgrade from my Z22 to a palm pilot with more features. First I bought a Tungsten E2 at an on-line store and it turned out to be defective. I returned it and got my money back and went to a local Best Buy and bought another one. It too turned out to be defective. Both of them had the same problem. They would not respond to the stylus when I'd 'click' on an icon. Sometimes I'd click on one area and another program would open.
After talking it over with a friend who says the Palm is a great product that he has used for years and thinking I'd just been unlucky, I decided to give it one more chance and bought the more expensive Palm TX.
The TX has the same problem. But sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. Every time I turn it on I'm not sure whether or not it will work. And it seems to not work more often that it does work.
The bottom line is that I like all of the features the TX offers but I can't recommend the product based on my experience.
Digital camera Review: Love the TX-case doesn't last a year
Summary: 5 Stars
I am forever loving the TX. It has everything I want.
I bought this pack because I wanted the hard case. After have a very tight magnetic lock protecting the TX, in 8 months the lock is loose and not effective.
Digital camera Review: My impression after 2 years of daily use
Summary: 5 Stars
The Palm T|X is my third Palm. My last Palm was a Tungsten E2. The reason for the switch was that E2 lacked the power and capacity to run my medical software Micromedex and Epocrates together. I also wanted the WiFi access.
PALM DESKTOP
I have never been able to make the Palm Desktop sync with the T|X on my Vista system. The driver wouldn't install properly. Fortunately for me, I also have a computer which runs Windows XP, and the Palm driver installs there. Once downloaded and installed, syncing is easy. Just press a button everything is automatic.
WiFi
I used to think the internet capability was very poor. Turns out, it was the connection. Once I get to a location with high speed access, surfing the internet is a dream.
GRAFITI
The writing area, which was dedicated in the E2, is virtual in the T|X. This means it can disappear when displaying photos or pages, giving a much larger viewing area.
However, I find the T|X does not do as good a job at recognizing my handwriting as the E2. Whereas before I could simply use the tip of my fingernail to write, I now need the stylus for more precision and it still makes more errors than E2.
OPERATION
I bought this unit in 2008. It is still going strong. Battery life is excellent. I use it every day and only have to charge it maybe once a week. Charging is done via a cord. It would be much nicer to have a dock, but a cord works just fine.
I've programmed some of the buttons on the bottom of the unit to automatically open my favorite programs so when I press them, not only does my T|X turn on, the software is loaded and ready to go. This is the chief reason I do not want to replace my Palm with a smart phone.
I've loaded my Micromedex and Epocrates onto the T|X and they both work fine -- none of the sluggishness of my previous E2. My entire schedule is on it and an expansive phonebook, my children's photos. I don't know what I'd do without it.
PROS:
+ virtual Graffiti area means larger viewing area
+ more power and capacity to run demanding software
+ long battery life
+ WiFi internet capability
+ programmable quick start buttons
+ comes with a protective hard case
CONS:
- can't get it to sync with my Vista computer
- Graffiti does not work as well on the T|X as the E2
- no cradle
