RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Cell Phone

Pros: Boy do they look cool.

Cons: Everything else.

Review: Just to add my voice to the others on line: these speakers are a nightmare. No support,the instructions that come with them are so minimalistic as to be non-existent. They do not work half the time, and the other half they sound good, but not so...

Pros: Nice large color display. Easy to use reset button.

Cons: Features not thought through very well. OS problems prevent Wi-Fi from shutting down correctly.

The Bottom Line: Nice features but be prepared for some disappointments and frustrations.

Review: I have had this Palm TX for a month and it works fairly well. I use it at my business and used to use Wi-Fi to check on the weather forecast while walking out to my car. BIG MISTAKE! Palm has two problem reports #40702 and #40643 dealing with Wi-Fi...

Pros: ease of use, features, light weight

Cons: non replaceable battery

Review: Hey Folks, I recently jumped ship away from Pal when my Tungsten E's battery took a premature departure from the recharge process. As we all know, Palm Tungsten E has a non replaceable battery. The reason I decided to try the HP iPaq hx2495. The HP...

Pros: A solid performing PDA that excels in wifi browsing, music playing and general uses.

Cons: Built in battery, no microphone and it maybe the last Palm OS.

The Bottom Line: If you're not an uber-geek or power business type, then this is the pda to get for the real world.

Review: Rumor has it that this maybe the last Palm device that uses its own O/S rather than Microsofts. Shame really for it is a really good unit.

I won't list all the hardware and spec's here. You can get those from the other reviewers. I'll...

Pros: Speed, Usefulness, gorgeous screen, and great software availability.

Cons: Takes some manual labor to personalize.

Review: Until the TX I thought I would stick with pocket pc, but the TX rules in speed and reliability. Far too much downtime on pocket pc. Be careful with trial software though. Other than a few add-ons, (and a few games), the built in software on the TX...

Pros: Good build. Bright screen. Loud alarm. Great wi-fi. Good default memory

Cons: Frustrating lack of bundled software & capabilities. Graffiti 2 is terrible--just awful.

Review: I (literally) crushed my old Microsoft PDA out of frustration with its failures and moved back to Palm having been happy with them before.

Here's what's new to Palm:
1.) They've changed to Graffiti 2, which has the worst handwriting...

Pros: Had a Palm IIIxe and loved it. The TX is a delightful upgrade.

Cons: Relearning graffiti.

Review: I no longer worry about the poorly designed Hot Sync cable. Just purchased a $36 bluetooth adapter for my PC. The TX connects to my computer from anywhere in the house -- takes a few seconds longer, but I don't worry about breaking off the little...

Pros: Versatile; gorgeous screen, simple/reliable WiFi, fast, and the power to do what I need

Cons: Cradle not included, ineffective/inconvenient cover, hit-or-miss connection between cable/cradle and PDA; exposed pins

The Bottom Line: Powerful, versatile PDA with gorgeous display, solid construction, simple/reliable WiFi, and good vaue for the money

Review: When my well-used and beloved Sony Clie SJ30 finally gave up the ghost during at the end of a business trip, I knew I needed to get a new PDA ASAP. My wife jokes that it it came down to her or my PDA, I'd probably choose the PDA. Of course she's...

Pros: 320x480 screen, WiFi & Bluetooth at attractive price

Cons: screen does not dim far enough

Review: I replaced my wife's Palm IIIxe and my own Clie SJ22 with a pair of Palm TX PDA's. I expected some rough transition to Palm OS5, and I got it.(sigh) Also adapted to grafiti 2. After a week, all is ironed out and I'm one who finds G2 more accurate...

Pros: Wifi and Bluetooth, great screen, and decently fast processor.

Cons: Outdated OS, no removable battery, hard to transfer files to memory card

The Bottom Line: If I could do this over again, I would probably pay extra and go with a Pocket PC, but I am not disappointed with this purchase at all.

Review: When my Toshiba Pocket PC broke, I immediately went into the market for a new PDA. I was looking for one with WiFi and Bluetooth, and as it turned out, my Pocket PC had broken on the same day that Palm released the T|X. I took this as a sign that I...
