Not too good -- 2010-08-26
I got off to a tough start with this product. It appeared that something inside was dislodged or out of place, floating inside. Occasionally over the next day, I found the device prone to reset itself and give me tips once restarted. Dumb. I really liked the form factor and design, and I am an experienced pda user. I sent out for an exchange so we will see how the next one fares. I just want a reliable device, anything more than that will make it a legend to me just like my old RX3715 and Jornada. So two stars for this product. I had just returned my other one for being defective, and here I am on a totally different site ordering a totally different device, and they were both a bit sickly. Trouble started when the box was opened and the battery was installed. The screen lit up momentarily, and after that the device would not power up. I figured it needed charging and plugged it in. But even just turning the device in my hand would make the charging disconnect periodically. It seemed as though the housing was putting too much pressure on the circuit connections inside.
Audio could be improved HP IPaQ -- 2010-08-18
It is just not designed to be loud enough but is very intuitive on its functionality. In a quiet room, I had to set the volume control to the maximum level to hear audio books. I tried all of the internal adjustments, several different audio book files, and types of headphones. Nothing would solve the problem. As I use the unit for an MP3 player when traveling on airplanes, the low audio output was not sufficient to be heard over the noise of the engines (and seat mates). I returned the unit to Amazon.com without difficulty - full marks to Amazon. I will nurse my rx1955 along until HP (or whoever) manages to market a unit that will meet my needs. I have been using the prior one for almost 22 months and am quite satisfied with it. Unfortunately, one of the multi-purpose buttons no longer works reliably. I purchased the iPAQ 111 Pocket PC as a replacement - newer operating system, more memory, faster processor, WiFi, and buttons that work. The basis features of the units (with the exception of Bluetooth) are comparable. Unfortunately, the audio output volume was very disappointing.

Palm M500 -- 2010-08-21
I needed a Palm pda that was available in 2006. Of course, by now it's obsolete. Through Amazon I was able to purchase a NEW M500 that satisfied my needs. Works just like it's supposed to.
worth the money -- 2010-07-26
A nice, smooth transition. my data from the old product transferred almost automatically to the new application on my computer and then blended it (syncronized) with the new PalmOne. My old palm pilot failed but i still had the application running on my computer. It was an easy upgrade to the new one. the supplier provided a disc with software and instructions.

Worst Customer Service Imaginable -- 2010-08-31
Dealing with HP customer service is like dealing with mindless automaton. I must have spent more than 8 hours on the phone with them to no end. This device is necessary for certain applications, but if you purchase one, be sure to order a revolver as well to shoot yourself in the head after getting off the phone with Soulless Packard. Or, of if you are anti-gun, try cyanide.
Got it used and still love it -- 2010-08-28
I got this Ipaq from my friend, to replace my older one and love the larger screen size. I mainly use this as a storage device for helpful informaion. The replacement was very helpful since I can have all my documents and books on one small device and still access the web with wifi. Nice product.

great palm pilot pda -- 2010-06-14
i've had a palm pilot pda for years and it still is the best way to organize my life!
Product exactly what I wanted. -- 2010-06-13
Seller was very helpful and provided extra information about the product. My Tungsten E2 arrived quickly and was exactly what I wanted. I would trade with this seller again.

 | Palm TX Handheld
old timer found a replacement -- 2010-08-17
A reprieve for a few years - as Palm no longer makes PDAs. This refurbished TX helps me keep organized with appointments and contacts without the necessity of an un-needed data plan or "smart" phone. Sometimes simple is better.
mostly good Palm TX handheld -- 2010-08-12
I like this product overall but I am having trouble powering it off, as the only way to do so is via the power button at the top. My PDA has no scratches and usually roams around my front pocket. I have talked with other users of this PDA and they have complained about the same problem. I haven't tried Palm customer support, but i'm assuming they'll refer me to the poeple I purchased it from. It seems more like a design flaw than anything else. I just thought I'd give others a heads up. I purchased this Palm from a reseller for about a decent chunk of change. It's a great overall PDA. However, the power button is flimsy. I have not dropped it or anything. It's just slow to respond. My first TX, the power button stopped responding within about 3 weeks. The people I ordered it from were nice and replaced it. I'm on my third TX and have been noticing the same problem again after 4 months, although eventualy I can get the button to work if I keep pushing. I can turn the palm on with any of the buttons at the bottom, but that brings me to whatever preset program that is assocaited with it.

Palm One m515 disaster -- 2010-07-08
Worked great for about a week... hasn't worked properly since then... a true classic piece of junk!
Product won't turn on unless you use the stylus to push the "reset" button... then, in the middle of booting up.. it crashes with a "fatal error"..!!
Based upon this experience... this is my last purchase from Amazon!
Not so much color. -- 2010-05-19
I bought this PalmOne when my original Palm of 10 years died. I'm disappointed that the color is only on the computer and does not extend to the handheld piece itself. It isn't a deal breaker just a bummer.

A cumbersome electronic device -- 2010-08-21
Wish I had understood that you have to learn how to write letters to bring up information. What a pain in the neck in comparison to a keyboard popping up!

 | HX850S Floating Handheld VHF 6Watt With GPS And Strobe
works as described -- 2010-08-14
use in a kayak for contact with big boats also if i have a problum the coast guard knows where i am if i hail them.
Essential equipment -- 2010-07-28
I have a 32' sailboat with the latest Standard Horizon vhf radio with AIS. I also bought this radio this spring as an essential backup. I use it in the dinghy and for those occasions when the other radio is not available. I have also in the past lent my "spare" to those who lost their own VHF. I readily recommend it to those who chose only one VHF on board.
This is a substantial upgrade from my earlier handheld. The GPS is quick and accurate, and with the DSC capacity and the ability to input your MMSI, gives you the ability to let the Coast Guard and others know where you are in case of emergency, or disclose your location to your friends. It floats, always a nice feature. It has scan and other programmable features. You don't need a PhD to use it, but it would hurt if you want to know everything that it can do. It is perfect for the ditch bag. The new programming requires entry of the MMSI twice, so you avoid the "two strikes and you're out" of the earlier models.
The battery feature is a bit different than my earlier SH portables and it does not accommodate AA batteries, but the battery life is good, you can charge from AC or DC and most importantly, when you need it, it works. Power and range are terrific.
I can only guess that Standard Horizon has another top-of-the-line model coming, because this was financially well out of reach until this Spring. It has become very affordable and a great value. Grab one while you can.
