CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.7

View score

The good: Slim and lightweight design; bright screen; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity; Secure Digital (SD) expansion slot.

The bad: Cannot be used as a USB drive; average battery life.

The bottom line: ThereÂ’s little to complain about this chic model that follows closely on the success of the Tungsten T5 except that it is not for those looking for the complete all-in-one mobile device as it does not have phone and camera features.

Pros: Easy to use, beaut screen display, surf web
Cons: Another carri on
Opinion:
This is a vote for the Palm TX! Mine works fine, it's about one and a half years old, so I'm sorie to hear about others having problem with it. Best 'impulse' buy I made at dat time! Jus found out dere's powerpoint in addition to word and excel handheld vers of cos. Wifi onto the web wifout paying any mobile phone subscription. PS. not IT-illiterate but not as tech-savvy as you guys, so if there are other opinions, I'm happi to listen to you.

 

Last PALM I am buying

Mar 7, 2008

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: bright screen
Cons: no USB port and dodgy connector
Opinion:
I have been a faithful PALM user since 2001, but this is the last PALM I will be buying, the screen broke after 3 months and had to be sent in for repair, the power adaptor (with a "special pin" failed after 6 and could only be charged from the dodgy proprietry connector and charger.

The web browser (Blazer) is sloooow and prone to crashing and nothing compared to the Symbian on my Nokia E90.

I do not understand why do PALM not use USB in this day and age, I have gone through 3 PALM connectors so far as they keep breaking and synchronising is a touch and go affair everyday. I can now charge my Motorola handphone and Creative Zen Stone with a single USB charger and I have no need to bring 3 or 4 chargers with me when I travel. Why oh why can people not use chargers with a universal pin ?

Hangs and poor on-off button

Aug 29, 2007

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Good features, though not for third party software
Cons: Bad on-off button, hangs-a-lot, poor after sales support, bad connection port
Opinion:
Its high on features and telephone book is one you cannot live without.
The on-off push button is a bad feature "palm" models have inherited from the earlier models.
You need a special cable to synchronize and needs seperate charging device. Earlier Palm device came with a easy mini USB interface which I miss badly.
Hangs on third party applications - stored first "txt" file always hangs when we start the "to Go" software and asks for a reboot.
In all I decided that I had downgraded instead of upgrading, when I purchased this Tx device
