I've been using an E2 for the last couple of years. I'm getting fed up
with having to reset the thing once or twice a day. I do use a 1GB SD
card with it. Don't know whether that's part of the problem or not.

Anyway, I'm looking at replacing the E2. The only viable alternative
seems to be the TX (I do run my business on the Palm). Would I regret
this in the long run?

Anything else I could get to replace the E2? It'll have to sync with
Palm Desktop on my MacBook, which runs OS 10.4.11.

All advice gratefully received.

I'm not Palm-Technical enough to offer a more reasoned opinion,
but I despise my TX.

Been through at least 4 Palm devices, starting with a Palm
III-something-or-other, and ending (before the TX) with a Sony
Clie.

Prior devices made me a Palm chauvinist - thought Palm was the
greatest thing ever.

The TX has me waiting and watching for the opportunity to migrate
away from Palm entirely. With Android on the horizon, I'm not
ready to jump to Win Mobile yet, but the time's coming when I'll
ditch Palm.

My main gripe is the graffiti - just about unusable. I can't
enter more than a word or two with having to re-stroke letters.

TealScript has alleviated it a little, but not nearly enough.

There's more, but the miserable graffiti is sufficient for me to
advise against a TX.

More likely it's a problem with one of the programs you are running on
your E2. You might want to do a hard reset and reinstall each of your
applications one by one before replacing it.

I've been very satisfied with my Palm TX. I love the wifi and the
bluetooth works perfectly with my phone (a Treo 680 but it connects
with any GSM phone) for on the Internet access.

I agree that it's likely a software issue and if he installs the same software on a
TX it will behave the same way. Most likely the problem is with some application that
runs in the background.

Also I posit that those PDAs with a dedicated graffiti area such as the TE2 have
better graffiti recognition than those with virtual areas such as the TX.

Maybe. But my TX has better graffiti recognition than my older
Tungsten E. Of course this could be because the TE has suffered a lot
more wear and tear to its graffiti area.
