Editorial Review
Note: This special Palm TX Hard Case Pak includes the Palm TX handheld, a hard case, and extra screen protectors.

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.

What's in the Box
Palm TX handheld, flip cover, hard case, 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, extra screen protectors, and bonus software.

Product Description

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.

4 Star Rating  "Great product...Not so great support."2008-10-07
- Reviewed By mcarbuckle
The product itself is a great product. I have had none of the problems many of the other reviewers have experienced, except the issues with support. Palm customer "support" leaves much to be desired and my 1 MAJOR PROBLEM is that there is no upgrade for the Palm products software for the 64-bit edition of Window's Vista. So, I basically have a $300 paper weight. But, for the time I used it before switching computers to Vista, it was great! I'll just keep my fingers crossed that an upgrade will be released before long...
 
2 Star Rating  "Screen problems"2008-09-18
- Reviewed By User: A9OQP7NMXXEHX
I liked the TX set up and features. Unfortunately, if you can't access them, it's a paperweight. The screen I got was touchy from the beginning and the digitizing function didn't help. Palm does not sell the replacement digitizer screens separately, and sending the product in for replacement was going to cost more than I paid for it. I couldn't get the screen from any other vendor, like I had done for my Palm E2. Eventually, the screen just stopped working and I couldn't fix it by hard reboot or anything. I have to get something else now, which is a shame. Before you buy this one, I would recommend reading the tech support pages off the Palm website. When I went there with my problem, I found I was in good company as many others had screen problems. I wished I had read them before I bought, but my previous Palm had been very good.

I've bought Palm/Handspring products for years and never had a problem with a unit not working right out of the box. This time around, the first two units shipped were defective. I really like the product, but getting one that worked was a frustrating experience: 9 hours of charging 3 units, another hour fiddling with installation, two trips to the UPS office for the returns, and about 3 weeks to finally get one that worked.

This product does everything a need and it is very easy to use. Much better than my previous PDA. Holds all of the medical software I need and keeps all of contacts and calendar information in an eash to access format.

3 Star Rating  "Case is just OK, but could be better"2008-08-23
- Reviewed By story321
I have a separate review for the Palm TX Handheld, so I will just review the Hard Case.

If you're getting this case with the Palm TX, then you'll find it to be just okay.

Pros:
- definitely protects your TX from hard impacts. Mine was in the case when it fell into the basement floor and the case fully protected my TX. The case had two dings on it, but my TX was safe inside.
- the top lid folds all way back and provides a unique way of holding the PDA. It's not uncomfortable.

Cons:
- there are no cut outs for quick access to the hotsync port, SD card slot, headphone slot, power switch, or stylus
- the plastic latch that holds the case closed will wear out after a while

If you'e looking for a better, more solid case, I'd opt for the Saunders 00497 RhinoSkin Aluminum Hardcase for Palm Tungsten TX/T5. I used this for my T3 and the latch never wore out and it protected my T3 from countless falls.

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.

I use it for business and I have the hard case. Expect your palms top power button to fail in about 1-1.5 yrs of owning. this has happened to 2 purchased palms and 2 that the company has repaired for me. The customer service is ok, you have to pay $30 to ship your palm if you need it back for business right away and it still takes 5 days. AFter 3 yrs of the same problem. I am done with the palm pilot.
 
4 Star Rating  "good deal -with slight reservations on the case design"2008-07-30
- Reviewed By duvis
This is in fact a great deal, where basically you are getting a Palm TX with a free hard case. I'm still getting used to the TX, which seems similar to a E2 but with extra connectivity.

In terms of the hard case, I have noticed the following:

Pros:

Good deal (case basically free).

Pretty burnished steel finish.

Case closes nice and tight, stays closed even if dropped - but don't test this unnecessarily ;-).

Cons:

Case bulkier than that of E1 (still fits in pocket, but fills the whole pocket).

Inferior case design - no access holes for any of the following: on-off button, stylus, hotsync & recharging cables, memory card, earphones etc. This means that to pull out or return the stylus, for example, you have to have the case open and lift the TX up out of the resting position, or if a cable or earphone is connected to the TX the case has to be open, and the unit cannot be resting flat in the case. This was not so in the Palm E1 case, which had access holes.
