International AC adaptor and sync cable International AC adapter to charge your unit and USB sync cable to connectect with your computer, this comes with detachable plugs for most countries.
Palm Cradle WWZ The cradle allows you to position the Palm so it can be easily read while it is either charging or syncing, the cradle option does not include an AC adapter or sync cable so if you do not have these please choose either the US or International AC adapter option.
Along with this decision came a vast amount of digitizer problems, the first plastic digitizers were terrible and the currently ones are better but do not come close to the durability of our glass ones.
Contrary to what you might think, the glass actually makes the whole unit stronger, more rigid and less likely to damage the expensive and fragile LCD, which is also glass but much thinner so it needs to be protected. The glass digitizer is chemically strengthened which strengthens the glass up to a factor of 8; you will not find this in most other aftermarket glass digitizers. A draw back to the glass digitizer is if it dropped on a hard surface it can break. This Palm model comes standard with a plastic digitizer.
Internal Microphone A built in microphone — this is what Palm forgot to add on this model. Two voice recorder applications are also included on the unit.
ROM Upgrade This update removes some unnecessary applications, adds some applications and brings the WiFi up to the most current version. I need an organizer, but also would love to have WiFi access for road trips I have two scheduled in the next few months — a Southeastern states tour, and also a visit to Utah.
Where would one go to replace the battery, if that should ever be necessary? A bricks and mortar store? Thanks for this site. The need for a replaceable battery is two-folded. The other is if the battery ever dies completely.
Batteries fail. If you need to replace the battery, you could buy one online, crack open the unit and do it yourself it will be out of warranty by the time it needs a new one , or ship it off to Palm and pay about 2x the price, or ship it to many other pda repair places. The rates are fairly reasonable.
Julie, I would have to agree that the T5 and TX are an unfair upgrade. I did the same thing. Have also tried commercially available software fail to recall name that emulates drive mode into TX … no good. Yes a wonderful replacement can be installed and noticed a reference to it within this forum. So lets get back to comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
Now, what is simular in capability to the TX. But the wife has the T5 now … and may have the TX in the future. The device was a terrible disappointment. The alarm function was completely unreliable.
Alarms set on the calendar would work for a few days and then stop working. The PDA required what is termed a hard reset in order for the alarms to function again. A hard reset is a time consuming operation. It takes about an hour to completely back up and restore the files deleted by a hard reset. I had never owned any type of PDA before, But I naively believed that a simple reliable alarm clock and audible appointment notifier would be included in the programs.
I was wrong. The Axim x51v originally accepted voice recordings for calendar appointments, but that function also stopped working correctly. After a few days, whenever I tried to record for the calendar appointment, the PDA would switch to the notebook program and put the recording in the wrong place.
There is an option in the notebook program to force the recording to stay in an existing program, but that option no longer worked. The folks at Dell repeated the mantra of soft reset, hard reset, and reinstallation of Outlook and the Sync program.
Doing such did not permanently fix either the alarm or recording problems. They continued to randomly recur. I returned the Axim 51v to Costco after trying to get it to work for three weeks.
I consider the reminder programs the most important on a PDA and the only reason one would purchase the device.. The first thing that I noticed is that the TX came with no case at all, only a flimsy little flip cover. The x51 came with a pretty poor cloth sack that offered no protection for the top of the unit, but it did protect the rest of the unit from dust and abrasion. I would say that a decent case is a necessary requirement for both units.
The Palm stylus is much nicer as the Gadgeteer reviewer noted. The case appeared to be well constructed on both units, and they both look nice. The X51 had several features lacking on the TX. The x51 will accept flash cards as well as SD cards. The Axim X51 has a replaceable battery. The TX cannot use extra batteries because the battery is not user replaceable. As a side note, many vendors on the Internet offer replacement batteries for the TX so that one can replace the battery if it fails after the warranty has expired.
The replacement battery comes in a kit with instructions and the Torque drivers necessary to disassemble the TX. After initially testing the Palm alarms for a few days, I decided that the TX was a keeper. The notification system was easy to use and it worked flawlessly. The TX so far has never had any problems whatsoever and that feat has occurred despite an inexperienced user entering data and playing with the programs.
In the first week that I had the Axim, I found it necessary to perform three hard resets and about six soft resets because of crashes in the Windows Mobile 5 operating system. In contrast to the Dell programs, the TX calendar notifiers and task alarms are easy to use and the audible alarms have been completely reliable. In general, I found the Palm TX operating system much more convenient even though I have been using the Windows operating system for many years and the Palm programming was completely new to me.
The TX comes with one of the most comprehensive help systems that I have ever seen. One can download a page Adobe PDF manual that covers just about anything one would ever want to know about using the TX! The only area where I was a little confused even with the pop-up help file was in the transfer of contacts from my address book in Outlook Express to the TX. After some fumbling around, I discovered that I could export my OE address book as a comma separated file to my desktop, and then import that file directly into the TX Contacts program.
All of the fields that I used were correctly transferred to the TX using this method. Names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses synchronized perfectly. Probably somewhere in that huge manual there is a description of how to import data directly from Outlook Express, but my way works nicely, and it is fast and easy once one knows the procedure.
The TX Pocket Tunes music player and Rhapsody music cataloging and transfer systems worked flawlessly. Soft passages were inaudible on the Axim speaker with the volume control at maximum.
Cataloging was difficult on the Axim PDA because the library insisted on importing all of the voice commands installed by the GPS navigation system when searching for music files. The TX reproduced the music perfectly from Mp-3 recordings cut from old vinyl records.
For some reason, The Windows program on the Axim did not suppress the irritating needle hiss on MP-3 recordings of old vinyl cuts. I think that the TX is the winner at music storage and reproduction. Photos were well displayed on screen by both systems, but the TX had an intuitively easier system for cataloging and showing photos. The Axim sync system for music and photos was buggy and difficult to use so I turned it off. The Axim has a potentially useful feature that is lacking in the TX.
The x51v accepts recorded messages. Unfortunately, I found the recording system to be unworkable for calendar appointments where it would be most useful to me. The buggy program worked for a few days, and then it would arbitrarily refuse to allow voice recordings in the calendar notes. Whenever I pressed the record button, the recorder jumped out of the calendar and went to the notebook so it put the messages in the wrong place.
The recording to the calendar feature could only be restored by a hard reset. Essentially, the voice recorder is useless except for making a short note. The Axim includes a good dictionary and spell checker and can suggest word completion after the entry of a few letters. The Axim is far superior out of the box as a word processor. I fooled around with the Palm Grafitti handwriting recognition system for a bit, and it actually could read my lousy handwriting that left the Axim clueless.
I suspect that the better performance by the TX in character recognition may simply be a result of the fact that the TX stylus is larger in diameter and more comfortably suited to handwriting.
For one thing, it has a delete key. For another, the keyboard can optionally be resized to a larger format. My Palm has a simple book case that was shipped with it, which attaches to a groove on the left side of the PDA A bit like a stylus silo.
Does anyone know of a similar, simple case for the T X I note that the standard flip cover has nothing to protect the back of the TX? The T X comes with the flip cover, but there are many other cases available. The most protective cases, I expect, are the metal cases that, as with your m, attach to the groove on the left of the T X. It is quite trim and form-fitting. It does leave the SD-card slot, the headphone jack, reset button and the docking connector easily accessible, along with the top of the stylus silo.
There are two SD-card slots in the cover. I started using metal cases after I fell with my Tungsten C in my pocket. I also ordered a metal case. Stylus Central has an aluminum case and other accessories. Palm , itself, sells several cases, though their prices tend to be high. ExtremePDA has several cases, including the Innopocket metal case.
You can probably find more if you nose around. Some cases open from the bottom, others from the right side. Some are leather of varying quality—and cost! It just depends upon what you want. Does the Innopocket cover slide into the slot used by the cover that comes with the TX?
My current Tungsten E which I bought in the states came with a univeral power charger that I can use in the States or here in Europe. Clear and free of jargon. There is a hole in the back cover to access the reset button, but you can flip the TX out of the back cover for access, as well. It looks like the Tungsten E uses something like a mini-USB data connector and a round power connector.
The TX uses a proprietary Palm data connector and a square power connector. They are sometimes combined into one piece. MacX YouTube Downloader. Microsoft Office YTD Video Downloader.
