I spent a few months saving every single dollar I made at my first job back in 2003 to save up for a Palm Zire 71. Managed to finally buy it at $599 from Dick Smiths. Yes, it was expensive, but I used that little device every single day for a few years. It was an absolutely wonderful little device that worked so well (although it did develop the horrible internal ribbon cable fault which prevented wired hotsyncing, but still charged). I still have it, but it is in storage in a box with a few other Palm PDA's. I long to get it and mess around with it again some day!

Had and still have a m125 and a Palm TX some time after which was quite similar to the T5, but it had Wi-Fi although it had slightly slower CPU (312MHz I think) and only 128MB of flash memory. I had to choose between the TX and the Lifedrive at the time (2007), but I chose the TX. Quite an amazing machine for the time though, I loved it. One big software limitation was to not support SDHC cards without a special paid driver. Another big drawback was the lack of a microphone and low RAM (heap memory) for some heavy applications like emulators. Thanks for the video. 👏👏👏

It was only years later when I bought a T5 because I'm a dork, that i found it was compatible... D'oh

I was on the Treo side specifically, which was great…until it wasn’t.

Palm later went on to develop probably the best phone operating system (at the time) years later, WebOS. It was at least a decade ahead on features vs Android and iOS. Unfortunately it was too late to the party, and support wasnt there, then HP bought it and killed the whole thing. Was such a waste and a shame. I'm glad I can say the first ever smartphone I had was a Palm Pre, as I grew up playing and messing with a second hand Palm Zire 71 PDA I got at a garage sale.

I don't have this rom. I do check the Palm subreddit hoping that it will become available one day.

Fun fact: This Palm PDA runs at a higher default clock speed than the PS Vita from 2012, which runs at 333MHz with Wifi turned on and 444MHz with it turned off, but the Vita's ARM Cortex-A9 CPU was heavily underclocked by Sony from its maximum speed of 2GHz to improve battery life and thermal performance, so technically the CPU on the Palm T5 is faster than the one on the PS Vita* And even faster with overclocking. *With networking enabled and default clock speed settings on the vita. also, other components such as the GPU and RAM make a greater difference in performance, making the PS Vita obviously the faster machine overall.

I have an old Olympus player, MR-500, that also runs opie, but unfortunately the processor is way too slow to drive that vga screen, barely can run anything.

I would argue the Palm Lifedrive is the fastest Palm. Same CPU speed as the T5 but with all the features of the TX. I have a hard time choosing between my TX and my LifeDrive as my favorite Palm to use. My T5 was always in third place no doubt. The display on the TX is easily the best official Palm LCD Screen.

For fun, I'm going to speculate that the LifeDrive with it's extra functions of WiFi and CF interface may take ever so slightly more CPU time to administer, making the T5 slightly faster in raw performance :) But I do think your claim is valid for the LifeDrive being a better Palm model. I've never seen a TX screen, it's really interesting that you say the screen is better. I want to see one now. I do own a LifeDrive though. Thanks for your comment, really enjoyed it.

Palm came so close with their original design philosophies. Before getting off track any copying other designs instead of sticking with their own direction. Apple then came in using Palm's original philosophies to make the iphone.

I agree. It's also weird they brought out the Tungsten W. Put a keyboard on it, instead of a full touch screen, and it could only make calls when a headset was plugged in! What were they thinking.
