I have owned a PalmPilot Pro and Handera 330, and now own the TX. I
also closely considered the Axim X51v, but ended up going with the TX
for price and familiarity (although the Graffiti 2 is taking some
getting used to). I have to say I love the TX. It comes bundled with
a licensed version of Documents-to-Go, VersaMail, and Blazer. All of
them work smoothly for me. Although it is true that the web was not
designed for a PDA screen, I like having web access for checking movie
times and looking up facts when there's no computer access handy. It's
similar to the fact that I like having a keyboard for note-taking with
my Palm now and then, even though for serious writing I prefer a
desktop computer.
The only thing I personally cannot do on the Palm that I could have
done with the Axim is Skype. Not worth the price differential IMO.
If you do go with the TX, I think you'll have a much better experience
if you don't "upgrade," but rather uninstall your Palm V and install
your TX fresh. Get upgrades on your software while you're at it. Most
of the complaints about the TX stability seem to come from people who
try to switch all their old software right over all at once.
