"Fantastic PDA from Palm"
Pros: A lot of bang for the buck. WiFi, Large Screen
Cons: No volume control on side/front
Summary: I debated between the Dell X51v and the Palm TX. I decided on the Palm for the best buy. The biggest problem I had was to physically hold and compare the two. Most retailers do not have the TX on display yet. Dell does not have retailers. I read many reviews,compared with my friends and decided on the Palm. I was very impressed with the color screen. The Dell has 640x480 vs Palms 320x480. This worried me until I had a chance to see the Dell and Palm side by side. The Dell won this battle, but not by much (Remember, the Palm is less expensive). The Dell has an external battery, but needs this since the higher resolution screen will drain the battery sooner. The Dell also wins the memory issue (256 vs 128), but this was not a factor for me since I would add a flash card to either unit. The Dell also has a faster processor, but the Palm seemed faster to me since the Palm OS is less taxing on the processors. The Palm won the larger screen issue. The Documents to Go does a great job with the Word and Excel (I believe it is better than Word and Excel on the Dell). The WiFi worried me from the reveiws, but my connected with no problems. It actually connects in areas that my laptop won't connect in. In summary, the Palm TX is an awesome PDA.
