Just got my TX last Sunday, and all things considered, it's a good investment. I don't know about Singaporean dealer. Normally, one can get it at the airport duty free a day or two after announcement. Not on the TX. I passed the aiport twice since they posted the TX on the web. All they have at the airport is the T5 at S$599 (no GST, about US$360). The web advertize the TX for S$548. I got mine for S$525 at a downtown shop.

Still trying to migrate from my old M515. There are old applications which would just invoke an endless loop of system reset when installed. Took me time to learn that the way to stop the loop, is press the on/off button for 10 seconds or so, then do a hard reset.

Anyway, got my calendar synchronized using Lotus Notes and EasySync, iSilo up, and Avantgo running. Those three applications are my must have list. I agree with the rest of the Palm community, Graffiti 2 is worthless. Wireless works at home, but not in the office as we use LEAP protocol. BigClock doesn't work, and I'm still puzzled why I can't install/send file to my SD card. And my telco's GPRS setting is not in the phone list. So I can't setup my GPRS connection using Bluetooth.
