I purchased a Palm TX for my wife last Christmas. After the first charge, we discovered that the power button on the Palm TX didn't work. It wouldn't turn the unit on or off, nor could a hard reset be done. Fortunately, the unit could be turned on by pressing the home button and initially we resorted to the TX turning itself off after 30 seconds of inactivity.

After some searching, I discovered that the inoperable power button is a very common issue with the TX units, so much so, that it discouraged me from sendin it back because it is likely that the replacement unit would have the same problem.

We decided not to exchange the TX unit because software is available that maps the power functions to another button of the users choice. In other words, we don't use the original power button on the TX, but get the same functionality using another button.

The Palm TX is very light compared to the Nokia 770 (I have a 770 too), probably because the screen/battery.

For me, the killer application on the 770 is the Application Manager/Catalog, which has huge potential in tailoring the 770 to the needs of each user.
