Upgrade T5 to TX? or WIFI Card?

[Christy W]

Hello everyone! This is my first post. I have been reading this forum for a while now and really like it. I bought a T5 about two years ago (I really like it) thinking that I would get a Bluetooth phone in the future, to access the web. Well, I singed a 2 year contract last year with Verizon. They don't let you use their phones as a modem, you have to buy there data plan. I don't want to. So I can't access the web that way. So that leves me with the question: Should I buy a TX for the WIFI or should I get the WIFI card for the T5? Taking the money out of it, what do you guys think? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Get a TX. I have an E2 with the WiFi Card. While it functions OK it is real slow compared to the T|X. The WiFi card will cost you $100 bucks so consider it as getting a T|X for $200 bucks. I purchased NetChaser and have now found hundreds of places to connect.

Thank you very much for your input! I'm kinda sick my $400.00 T5 is going to be collecting dust soon.

It does not have to. Keep it synced, (beam) info between the two. Then you always have a backup. I have different stuff on all my Palms and I play with them all. Any one I pick up has the same vital info on them plus the different games. I kind of pick one depending on the mood I'm in and what games I want.

Thats not the worst advise. Thank you. I'll have to try and wrap my mind around that for a while.

I would also suggest a T|X over the T|E. You'll be getting a better bang for your buck.

Hi guys. I took your advice and sprung for a new TX today! It's all charged and ready to go. I just have one question before I can get started. I have all of the software from my T5 on my computer. What will happen when I load the TX cd into my computer. Will it conflict? Overwrite or what?

Can I go ahead and just do it or should I delete the old Palm software?
Thanks.

Backup your data folder, uninstall Palm desktop, install Palm desktop from the CD included with the T|X.
