Palm TX Handheld
The Palm TX is Palm’s new wireless handheld. It features a improved 320 x 480 pixel screen,
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless and 128MB of nonvolatile memory. The TX drops the Tungsten
sub-brand moniker but adds Wi-Fi at a very competitive price.
The TX and Z22 are the first new models to return to the Palm name, after the company
reacquired the rights to the Palm name. Palm has decided to drop the Tungsten sub brand, in
order to highlight the strong Palm name brand.
Design
The TX has solid body and finish. It is black plastic, though it is very rigid and almost feels like a
metallic shell. The TX is physically identical to its predecessor the Tungsten T5 besides the new
black color. It has the exact same dimensions and body.
Overall the TX has a very simple and smooth design reminiscent of the Palm V. The rectangular
display makes up the majority of the front of the handheld. A white painted Palm logo is pressed
along the top. The sides are smooth and the corners are nicely rounded. The left side functions
as an attachment rail for the flip cover and the right rail doubles as a slightly open stylus silo.
Two sets of black customizable application buttons border the rounded rectangle 5-way
navigator in the center. The buttons are flush with the case and have a sturdy feel. The 5-way is
solid and has a smooth finish and is easily to pressed in each direction.
The top of the handheld is made of a glossy black plastic. On the left is the SD expansion slot,
which unfortunately lacks a dust cover. To the right is the IR window, the standard 3.5 mm
headphone jack and the power button. The bottom is slightly curved to the font and holds the
multi connector in the center.
Palm TX HandheldThe back of the handheld is mostly smooth. The reset button is in the mid
center and is now large enough to be pushed with the stylus tip. The speaker is also located on
the center of the back, with a 5×5 hole grid. Below that is the standard sticker label with the
Palm TX logo and the usual logos and serial numbers.
The TX has physical dimensions of 4.76 x 3.08 x .61 inches (120 x 78 x 15.5 mm) and weighs
5.25 ounces (149 g). It is just slightly larger and taller than the Tungsten E2. It is both shorter
and thinner than the LifeDrive.

2. The handheld comes with a pleather black flip cover. It has a white stitching border that says
“palm” centered on the bottom. It is a little different from the T5 flip cover as it has a more
suede like feel. The stylus is polished steel metal and has a nice silver barrel with a black plastic
tip. It is the same stylus as the T5 and is fairly comfortable with a good weight and size.
