Digital camera reviews of Palm TX Handheld with Hard Case
Digital camera Review: Good product
Summary: 5 Stars
Palm tx very good; hopefully it will last longer than the several Tungsten 2E's that I have owned. Hardcase for the Tx does not fit tightly around pda. PDA bangs around in it when carried in pocket. I just bought the Rhinoskin case;lined, tight, useful plug-in cut outs. Better than Palm's hardcase.Digital camera Review: Good product but difficult upgrade
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this product as an upgrade for my Palm Tungsten C. I like the product (although I miss the Tungsten C keyboard) and the hard case has already proven very useful (when I dropped the machine on a tile floor). I did, however, have a number of problems with the migration of my old programs to the new machine. Some of the new versions of programs didn't install properly (Versamail and Documents to Go were particular problems). I would suggest that you check out the Palm website before running the install -- following the advice there will prevent a number of costly (in terms of time) problems. The online Palm help was mixed -- one person gave me bad advice and another got me going in the correct direction. Make sure you have your registration keys handy because you may need to reinstall some of your software.
Your process might be also be easier if you keep the following in mind:
1. Whenever you need to do a hard reset of the machine, Wi-Fi connectivity information isn't restored on your next Hotsync -- keep any Wi-Fi security keys handy.
2. Documents to Go may detect some documents that it can't actually work with (in my case, documents that were meant to be used with the eReader software) and won't fail gracefully if you try to use them within the app (it will try to convert them and may require a hard reset -- actually I still have lingering problems after a Hotsync that I think are related to a failed conversion).
In summary, good product, but beware the upgrade path!
Digital camera Review: Good spec for a PDA, but it have a touch screen problem
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the first PDA I owned. I was excited as I received this product; however, I was quickly disappointed after a few days when the screen become unresponsive to the stylus. For instance, when I tried to click on the Memos icon, I get no respond or another application open instead. Another example of the problem is when I used the Note Pad, the screen make weird marks or inaccurate marks when I tried to write a letter or number.
I was in a looped with the stylus calibrating and even after the stylus become active again, a few minutes later, it becomes defected again. I tried soft reset and hard reset but it did not fixed the problem at all. Finally, I decided to go onto Palm's forum to find a way to fix it. Yet, I found out that there are many problems with other Palm's users revolving around this setback since '06 or even earlier; however, it seem that Palm's engineers/technicians are not taking much action in fixing this known situation that have many Palm's consumer unhappy and having their product refurbished, but only to have the product further defected. However, there are a few solutions that other found helpful without the help of Palm's Support, but it was not for me.
I guess this goes as a lesson for me to looked up product's problem before taking a head-dive into a total disappointment in the end.
Digital camera Review: Good, but have better access to the internet
Summary: 3 Stars
The TX is superior to the Zire 72 I used to have, and overall is a very good product for a fair price. I'm only disappointed with the internet access. For example, the screen size is perfect for videos, but the TX does not open YouTube videos. Also, it would be great if it had a mic so that I could use Skype.Digital camera Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed this particular PDA for school. It was a great price and a case to boot. LOVE IT
