Review: The sorry end of an off/on relationship - I looked forward to receiving this product. I needed a PDA so that I could read pdfs and consult Word and Excel documents on the fly for work and research purposes without having to lug my Powerbook around with me everywhere. With up to 5 days on the battery and Mac-compatible I snapped up this little beauty. Well beauty soon became a beast. On my first day of using it reading pdfs for research, the battery was flat in 3 hours. I returned this PDA to desertcart (who were great) and received a replacement as obviously 3 hours for just reading 2 pdfs must surely be a fault. Oooh no! The replacement I received wont keep itself turned off and so runs the battery down. I turn it off and it turns itself back on. I tried the keylock to prevent this. What do you know? Keylock turns the PDA back on to tell me the PDA is locked down. Then the PDA locks down so I can't turn it back on until I connect it to the power supply. Then I see a screen telling me to deactivate the keylock. The little beast still runs out of juice quicker than bishop escaping a police raid on a brothel! Aaaargghhhh! I don't know if I've been unlucky here but a small device that doesn't turn off and runs out of battery before my Powerbook isn't worth the price tag. The good people of desertcart have now got my (2nd and last) PDA winging it way back for a refund. I expected better from Palm. Review: So good I bought it twice ... errr... - I loved my Palm TX, bought from desertcart. It is (was) my third Palm, and my fourth PDA. I upgraded from my Tungsten T to get wi-fi with WEP security. That alone makes it really great. I can update my e-mails all over the house, browse, update and synchronise documents and listen to MP3s and podcasts. I can even listen to some web radio and view movies, and play tunes on the car radio with a Belkin gizmo. OK, so far so good. After nearly two years my TX began to fail with digitiser problems. It became harder to reset the stylus until it finally failed to reset entirely. I could still work it using the buttons for weeks, but someday I had to do a hard reset, and that meant curtains as I could not set the stylus at the setup. This was a tragedy as it was a really great machine. I bought a cheap one (£100) and I was off again. I could not live without it. Consider all this. You can carry it more easily than a laptop. With a 512MB SD card it holds loads of tunes and podcasts. It synchs "Documents to Go" so that you can do drafts on the move. It has a great colour screen. I have a £10 Targus IR portable keyboard. I found that I could hardly live without it. The down sides are that (amongst other things) the browser is very limited. It works on most things, but not Wikipedia, which I can live without. Based on my experience it might be a good idea to buy a case to protect the screen. When it failed nobody would fix it - the Palm website was useless (as usual) and the listed repair places simply refused to reply. But despite the downsides I reckon it is really good value and superb quality. At the price it is worth viewing it as expendable. That annoys me as my other three old PDAs are all still working. Who fixes things nowadays? In my heart I know - the first Plam TX I bought one did not fail me, I wore it out through overuse. I plan to wear the second one out too. How else do you collect your e-mails with attachments for free in the town square in Georgiopoulis in Crete, listen to "In Our Time" podcasts in the Paris Metro and refine your last minute draft presentation in the living room? I love it. For me, the Palm TX is better than a laptop anyday.
