I considered getting this when Palm was offering it for $199 on their site a couple of weeks ago just to be able to get mail and access the internet when travelling. Ended up buying the Mobile Crossing Waypoint instead. Picked up CF wifi card for $16 and ended up with a wifi PDA for less than $50 ( they have raised the price but I think you can still pick up the PDA for about $45. Others have had a problem with the vendor but I even went back and bought a second waypoint.

Please consider getting Nokia N800 before you get a Palm. Nokia has built in wifi, bluetooth, webcam, excellent wide 4.1" screen 800x480, 2 x SD slots, great software (if you want to run PalmOS software there is a Palm VM in the working - Garnet VM). Detailed specs here.
You can find it for around $200. Highly recommended!
P.S. Here is my long story on how I ended up with the N800:
I needed a device to play a specific internet radio (a NPR equivalent radio from overseas) down in the kitchen. It should be grandma-proof, so I went with the Roku radio (found one for $250 at Fry's). After an afternoon of torture I couldn't make it work. Roku may be a great device someday. Returned this one and tried the SanDisk Sansa Connect, which was one nice gadget but still won't play the stream. Returned that one too and N800 was my last hope. Well N800 does that and then some. I have it setup over the fridge with the webcam Skype/gtalk ready also pulling the latest RSS news. Impressive piece of hardware and open source community is very active in coming up with great software for the upcoming new OS version OS2008.

That was a better deal too. You got the T/X and the wireless keyboard for $199 (tax only in 5 states) and 4% FC back. No free keyboard with this deal and here in high tax land tax is due.
Since these were selling with little discount for nearly $300 I would assume Palm is dumping in preparation to drop them or bring out something new - or maybe they just need the money?
If you already use the Palm interface and have Palm apps this is a nice upgrade. If you don't and just want something to do wifi e-mail or surfing you might look at the Nokia devices instead. If you travel where there is no wifi (free or paid) then you need to look at something from one of the cell phone companies so you have access where there is "nofi".
Is anybody still buying these things? Palm needs to come up with something new, I love their OS but other then a Palm OS Treo I wouldn't buy any of their devices that they still have on the market now. Just my 2c.
thanks. in 4 1. used $40 off $200 coupon Staples sent me a few days ago. Perfect timing.
my husband is in another country and he doesn't have a pocket pc. He can use this to keep in touch with me all the time now when the phone line is not working. I'm wondering if Skype works on this phone. If so, it would be even better.
The Palm TX is a very nice PDA. I bought my wife one on January 15 of this year from CC for the same price after rebate. Now, 11 months later, the stupid thing turns itself on and off all the time. She has to charge it everyday. This is a very common problem with no solution. And of course Palm won't admit it. So I have to call tech support and listen to their BS about resetting it and blah blah blah just to have the warranty expire and be hosed. If you are going to get this you better get the replacement plan.
