Comments on: Best Buy Palm PDA Holiday Sale
The Palm TX is currently on sale for an ultra-low $199.00 after a $115 instant rebate off of Best Buy's strangely higher-than-MSRP TX price of $314.99. The Palm TX, alongside the Z22, is the most recent of Palm's remaining PDA lineup, having been introduced in October 2005 and featuring both Bluetooth and wi-fi alongside OS 5.4.9, 128MB of RAM and a 320x480 LCD.

The Zire should be free in boxes of cereal. OK, then free for two boxtops and $4 postage.

Then get some sync/player software going with Amazon music and e-books.
Palm's biggest problem is that they've lost any touch with reality as to the market ... and they certainly don't have a marketing plan. As it is, a $299 iPod touch is more appealing: full browser, nice screen, iTunes Store, easy sync, etc.
Palm TX: Buyer Recommended
>>>Considering the issues I had with my Palm TX, I'm not surprised. Of course it quit working with wifi and went into an endless loop after the warranty expired. The cost to get it fixed was almost the price of a new one.

Good look with that sale, Palm. Let me know when I can get one for $99.
Er, maybe.
RE: Palm TX: Buyer Recommended
I've used my TX DAILY since I got it in Oct/Nov '05. Besides the battery finally to show some signs of weakening, it's performed flawlessly. And it doesn't creak & groan not has the power button hasn't gotten mushy like my T5's did.
It's honestly the most reliable Palm (from a physical build quality AND OS stability standpoint) device I've used since my T|T2 or T|C.

RE: Palm TX: Buyer Recommended
Mike, I can recommend the TX and you know I'm not astroturfing or a paid apologist.
I can recommend that you STAY AWAY from the TX unless you absolutely need a replacement device. Build quality is down-right atrocious. I bought mine for Christmas in 2005. My power button is dead (year and a half later) and so is the built-in speaker(eight months). Luckily the head-set jack is still working. By contrast my old Palm V and Visor Edge are still functional (the springboard modules too). I moved off the Edge only because of the TX's BlueTooth and Wi-Fi.
Can I still get a Mac SE?

Quit Whining!
Listening the Press Reports about Palm's demise, I (Stupidly) switched to a Sprint Mogul & Windows Mobile. Journalists are idi*ts! The Mogul was the worst phone I've ever owned in every respect. The Phone was terrible, Windows Mobile is a joke. I've never had a worse experience... Windows 95 was better.
Enough about that, I ordered my "replacement" phone after 3 long, painful months. I was going to go back to the Treo (which looked tons better after the Mogul), but read the reviews and played with the Centro in the store.
I don't look at it as cheap replacement for a Treo. I look at it as an upgrade. I love the smaller size.... and believe it or not, it's Faster!
With internet service, I now sync my Avantgo (w/PalmInfoCenter) over the air now. I only need to manually sync my contact list once or twice a month now.
My advice if you on the fence.... GO FOR IT! .... YOU CAN DO IT! (I'm not the RA RA kind of guy, but after the Mogul, it's like a get out jail free card!)

This is now a world where I can get a *subnotebook* for less than $500. Next month, one with a *30GB hard drive* for $400.
This is now a world where Sandisk is offering a better MP3 player than the iPod Shuffle for just $40.
This is now a world where PDAs over $99 is a bad joke.
