Re: upgrading (new) Palm thoughts

Hello I believe that I can help shed some light on this:
First I have a T5 and my wife has a TX. Both are very good machines
but I wish that I would have waited for the TX for the simple fact of
less stuff to carry around. The built in WiFi is much better that my
external card and as I said above you can't leave it in the breifcase
or even worse at the house on a long bussiness trip.
Cons:
Battery life isn't as good as the T5, and doesn't have the Drive mode
that my T5 has but it is a little cheaper that buying a T5 ($349) WiFi
card ($99) and a SD card (1G) are a great investment.
In conclusion go with the TX (Inmy humble opinion) and enjoy.

The battery is not improved on the TX, it is just that the TX is a stripped down version of the T5. If you have a slower processor and less memory, besides...
