Palm TX or Ipaq rx1955

Niskyspy · 01-03-2007, 01:13 AM

This is continuation of my first thread about "what PDA to get?". I've done alot of research today and yesterday and now I have a decision to make. Should I go with Palm TX or Ipaq rx1955. They both cost around $200 online, so tell me which one you think is better bang for the buck.

Palm TX. Better processor, memory, screen, and bluetooth.

The Palm is a bit better spec wise (processors are about the same, but the Palm has the ARM).

IMO I would stay away from the Palm OS, but thats just because I favor Windows Mobile. Either one will suite your needs. I have the RX3115 which has bluetooth as well, and I love it.

I don't know much about the Samsung processors, but most PDAs use ARM based ones(or Xscale) I don't know how the compatability is with the Samsung ones... But as the others said, the Palm has better specs. Memory's a bit issue too. Realize your memory on the device is for both your information and your running memory. If you use up all your space, you'll have problems running applications.

Thats what an SD card is for

Well that's what SD cards are for.

Edit: dang Geoff, you beat me.

Which one you think is better for internet use and video?
Can the ram be increased by pluging in SD card? (cuz I'll deff put in 2gig SD)

Oh I have a question about Ipaq R1955.
My friend said that if the battery is removed, Ipaq would loose all of its information that is stored on the device it self.
Is that true?

If it is, does it mean I cant swap batterys.

Nope, untrue.

The higher end models have a backup battery built in (I cant recall if the 1955 does). But it has Windows Mobile 5, which stores data differently, so if the power runs out or you remove the battery, your programs and files wont be lost. (I used to have the Rx1955)
