Nice, But Longevity Not Good
I use this primarily with my ACT! database.Have never even come close to using the maximum memory even with hundreds of contacts and extensive notes.It has served me well for about 2 years; however now the standard plastic screen cover is hard to read through and the machine "resets" itself or locks up requiring a manual "reset" about once per week.For the purchase price I would have expected a much better life to it.

Annoying digitization problem
Although I was happy initially with my Tungsten T, I am no longer happy because it needs to be redigitized several times a day.I am a teacher and use it for a lot of data entry, calculation, and organizing and it is time consuming and aggravating to have to double-check all the time to ensure that the correct item is going in the correct field.I was dismayed to discover within these reviews that this is a glitch that is endemic to all model T's.I am even more upset to discover that it eventually just breaks!At the price I paid, I expected to get several years of use out of it.I am hesitant to replace a defective product with a product from the same company, especially if Palm is not backing up their product with a meaningful solution (as is reported elsewhere in these reviews).

Worked well for a while
Initially I loved my Tungsten T, but after 6 months, the touch screen began requiring repeated recalibration.This has become progressively worse, to the point that recalibrating or repeatedly soft rebooting does not help and the T has died.This all occurred after the warranty period, and the online knowledge base and phone support have been worse than useless.After reading customer feedback here, it appears that several other people have experienced the same problems with the T and the same frustration with Palm support.I'm now shopping for a (non-Palm) replacement.I would strongly discourage anyone from buying what appears to be a flawed product from annon-supportive company. ...

Great memory
I pack my memory card with lots of ebooks, and it holds quite alot.I never worry about being without reading material with this great little memory card.I also save my own works to it as well, since I do a majority of my writing on my PDA.

A No-Brainer
Any time I get a device, I immediately go for more memory because I'm just a hog. I intend to put all my digital photos on it. (OK, I don't realy have that many, but still.)

I turned the Palm off, put the chip in, and it just kinda does what it is supposed to do. It could not be easier. My only worry is that I might lose it, because its smaller than a Kennedy half dollar.

So much more memory
I have a m505 that's at the bursting point of it's 8 megs of memory, so I figured getting another 32 megs onto the device would solve all my problems.But I still have a few warnings:

1) This card is designed to hold data, not programs.You can put some programs on it, but it's not very pretty.The programs all go into a single group in the launcher for "Expansion Card" and many will not work when installed there.

There's a free program called MSMount which allows you to "mount" a directory on the expansion card as if it were local.It works well for most programs, but there are still some programs that don't work.It also greatly slows down many operations on the device.

2) Programs must support putting data on the card.You cannot move data from your addressbook, memo pad, etc. over to your card.Many of my huge memory hog programs (ThinkDB2, AvantGo) won't let me stick their data files onto the memory card and so I can't offload.

Plus, many of my programs (TealDoc, DocsToGo, FireViewer) had to be upgraded for me to get support for storing their items on the memory card.

Now, if you're looking to hold lots of data for use, the card delivers just what you'd want.

I've moved all of my pictures (which I create/view with FireViewer) over to the device.I now have tons of photos of my friends and family easily accessible.

I've got bunches of eBooks on the card.I used to need to break up a standard novel into a bunch of 200k chunks, but now I can throw the whole thing (usually ~1mb) on the card without worrying about running out of room.

DocToGo lets me sync all my work documents onto the device for convenient access and updating. ... Read more

PalmOne m515 Color Handheld
Average Customer Review:
Electronics

US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

The release of the Palm m515 handheld proves that Palm listens to customers and is willing to make changes. Thanks to the indifferent customer response to the lackluster color screen of the Palm m505 (released in 2001), the Palm m515 boasts a much brighter display and contrast controls that were missing in its predecessor.

We were among the many who voiced disappointment with the Palm m505, and while the m515's color screen still isn't at the top of the class, it's an obvious and welcome improvement. With display support for over 65,000 colors, icons and images (viewed in the included PhotoSuite application) have a nice richness and depth of color. However, as the screen resolution is only 160 by 160 pixels, the m515 doesn't achieve the crispness found in the Sony T615 (which has a 320 by 320 pixel resolution). But ultimately, unless you need a high-end multimedia viewer integrated into your handheld, you should be suitably happy with the m515's display.

There are only three levels of brightness contrast control--high, low, and off. At first we were taken aback by the "off" setting, as it rendered the screen almost invisible in our office, but it's fine for outdoor usage and will help conserve battery power.

With its curved angles, thin design, and light weight, the Palm m515 feels very comfortable, both in the palm of your hand and resting in your pocket. Also, with the m515's 33 MHz DragonBall VZ processor, we found switching applications to be very fast.

The applications and desktop software (version 4.01 for Windows and version 2.6.3 for Mac) haven't changed, and that's just fine with us. (Note that a beta version of Palm Desktop 4 for Mac OS X is available for download.) The Palm interface is one of the most elegant and simple to understand--yet powerful--operating systems around.

But Palm adds more power with a variety of add-on applications that you can choose to install, ranging from Documents To Go for viewing and editing Word and Excel documents, to Palm's collection of mobile connectivity apps, to the aforementioned PhotoSuite for viewing images and short movies. Our favorite is AvantGo, an app that downloads Web content to the m515 whenever you synchronize, which enables us to keep up with the latest world news as well as Aussie Rules Football scores. You can add even more content and applications via the expansion slot, using optional Secure Digital or MultiMediaCard memory cards.

You can choose to synchronize the Palm m515 with the Palm Desktop application or link to Microsoft Outlook (Windows only). Palm Desktop is more than adequate, but if you are in a corporate environment and Outlook is your scheduling/e-mailing/tasking brain center (which it is for us), the synchronization is seamless.

Overall, we're very happy with the Palm m515--it's quick on its feet, has a nice color display, and is loaded with great software additions that can enhance both your productivity and your fun. --Agen G.N. Schmitz

Pros:

• Improved color screen--brighter, with contrast controls
• Good range of additional software, from Internet connectivity to e-book reader
• Expansion slot enables you to add even more content and applications to customize the m515 to your needs
• Easy synchronization with Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook

Cons:

• Continued use of high brightness level can wear on batteries
• Palm Desktop for Mac still behind the times, but new software on the way

Great Handheld for Students
I bought myself a Palm M515 after I destroyed the screen on my M100.I have been using the M515 for three years and have had no problems whatsoever.Any student interested in a Palm handheld should give the M515 serious consideration.This device has proven very useful in tracking homework, projects, and tests.Only complaint is no wireless capabilities without the use of Palm's bulky add-on modem (Nearly every school has their own wireless network).

While it works, it's really great.
One star for:While it works, it's really great.

Reason it doesn't get more stars:ITS TOTALLY UNRELIABLE! (ditto the other reviews.)Mine died (stopped synching) after a year.That was my 3rd death of a Palm in 3 years.I've now gone back to paper.I hate the paper, but it's reliable.Loved the Palm while it worked.Then it crashes, you waste days trying to get it fixed.Customer support is ridiculous.Best they can offer is ask you to spend $100 to send it in to look at it - with no guaranty they can fix.

it lasted less than a year
I had my palm for 2yrs but only had it activated for about 3 months I would not recomend this product to anyone.I liked it when it worked but the durability is horrible.I had my palm stored in the box it came in for about one and half years.When I wanted to use it agian it will not work and palm wants to charge $125 to replace. I wouldnt give them $125 for something that has let me down the way this machine has. I paid almost $400 for it and used it for 3 months ... Read more

Reliable Connection
Ever since Palm began releasing modem products for their PDAs, having one as a backup connectivity device has been a priority for me.

Sure you can do a litle web surfing but that is not its' true calling or intention.Checking your eMail is what this modem is all about and where it shines like the true star it is.Setup is easy and the supplied software is not the best but will get you where you want to go.

Battery life is great and that makes it always a good device to carry along on any business trip.

A not so good Internet connection
Well, it is very useful if you use it to download emails or send them while on the road, but.. If you want to surf the web for a long time... I do not reccomend it, it disconnects after a determinate amount of time. I prefer a wireless option, that is, using your cell phone as an wireless modem, this way it doesn't matter how much time you spend online...

PalmModem Connectivity Kit in question.
To use the Palm Modem you have to belong or sign up for unlimited service to: AT&T, Compuserve, Earthlink, PSINet or if networked at work, Unix Verio Windows NT RAS server.

When connecting to the Avantgo.com, the modem will sync to the site for just download enough informtion for the e-mails or web site. It appears in order to go to another web clipping, the modem has to re-connect, which seems like a hassle.

However, for limited internet usage, and could also be used for stock market symbols, the modem will connect to the web clipping and then shut off.

The modem has limited uses and is only a land line with no wireless use. The modem also uses 2 tripple A batteries, without recharable option. ... Read more

Impractical
This just didn't work out for me.First, the on/off button kept getting hit while in my travel bag, leaving me with no Palm on one trip and virtually no power left on another.On top of that, blank notes kept being left due to this issue.The leather flap is constantly in the way when you try and enter something.I gave up and bought the hard case as a replacement.It's smaller and much sturdier so shouldn't have any of the above problems.Plus it opens up all the way for easy use.

Slim Leather Case
If you like a leather case with a professional look for your Palm, ths is the best one for the money in my opinion.It contains convenient slots for expansion cards and and extra stylus.A velcro closure might be better than the slip closure currently used.This would help it be able to open and close easier.You can also hotsync easily with this case without having to take the unit out.

Expensive, but there is no substitute
I have the Palm m500 and while the flipcover that came with the package is nice, it doesn't protect the back of the heldheld from stratches. Since I just got my heldheld, I want to keep it looking as new as possible.
With a leather case, you can protect you handheld from stratches and possible minor drops (if the case is thick, or padded) If you look at other leather cases out there, especially the universial cases and worst, the Iconcepts and (generic brand) cases, they make you sleek m500 look (bad). The original Palm leather cases actually custom-fit into the left side rail of the m500 series handheld.
While the (Palm) leather wallet and zippered case holds more stuff, I prefer to have to smallest case possible (to fit into my pocket), that's why I like the Slim Leather Case the best. Nonetheless, don't get the universial cases because they do not custom fit into your m500 rail and your m500 won't look as sleek. If the Palm leather cases weren't so overpriced, I'd give it a five. ... Read more

CardAccess Wristband Thinmodem Plus Springboard Module
Average Customer Review:
Electronics
list price: $149.99
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

The next best thing to wireless Internet access for your Handspring Visor is CardAccess's Wristband Thinmodem Plus, a 56K modem that packs an extra 7.5 MB of flash memory storage into the miniscule module.

Unlike other modems, the Thinmodem Plus fits snugly into the module slot, with nothing hanging over the edge--meaning you can keep the module in for its storage capabilities and easily sheathe your Visor in its carrying case.

The modem beeps when inserted, to let you know the hookup has been completed. Then the 6-foot phone cable connects to the modem--unfortunately the connection was so tight that tugging the cable out sometimes pulled the module out of our Visor.

Most of the configurations are simple--enter the dialup number for your ISP, as well as login name and password, and you then connect. Some ISPs required minor workarounds: for example, our MSN account needed "MSN/" inserted before our login name. Note that because AOL and Compuserve use proprietary browsers, users of these ISPs can only connect to these accounts for checking e-mail, not browsing the Web.

The registration process for the bundled BrowseIt software took quite a few steps and we were forced to enter our username and password several times. But once we had everything entered in, browsing was simple. We could use the bookmarks (as well as add our own), or enter any URL.

Although the Thinmodem Plus promises low power consumption, it still drains the batteries rather rapidly. Its connectivity is best for e-mail grabbing and synching up with sites for offline viewing more than long-term Web site browsing.

The storage side of the Thinmodem Plus works simply and smoothly. The included FileMover application lets you easily transfer files from the Visor to the module or vice versa. It's a useful extra for the module--who can't use more storage space on their handheld?

The combination of modem and memory makes the Thinmodem Plus a bargain for anyone looking for ways to stop lugging the laptop along. --J. Curtis

• Fast throughput
• Two-for-one with storage

• Irritating browser registration
• Battery drainer

excellent product
An excellent product, but as stated in the review above, the software that was included did not work. This was easily fixed --- go to Eudora.com, and use their FREE software. The PDA works as good as a laptop for email and nearly as good for web browsing.

Small and good but not as complete as suggested
Incredible, a modem that is so small and working faster than a PC modem (even if the Baud rate does not reflect this).
However, the "Browse It" web browser is not functioning anymore so you have to find another web browser. Luckily, "Avant Go" and "Eudora" both offer free options for this.
Up to now (March 2002) this modem has official approval only in a few countries, e.g. the US, but it appears to be working very well also in Guatemala and the Netherlands.
In my experience the support service took a long time to respond but their answer was adequate.

This is a great buy!
I am addicted to e-mail!I admit it!So when I go out of town or if I am on the go...I NEED TO CHECK MY E-MAIL!This card was easy to install and all I had to do was follow the simple step by step on screen instructions.I also downloaded software from my provider that was immediately installed during my next hot sync.I don't browse the internet on this...haven't tried either.But I have used it to gain access to email and instant messaging.I highly recommend this if you are like me..and have to stay connected. ...

Handspring Treo 90

US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

The Handspring Treo 90 is a small, powerful Palm OS handheld computer with a built-in keyboard, full-color screen, and expansion slot for Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMediaCard (MMC) expansion cards. With 16 MB memory and a lightweight, compact design, the Treo 90 makes getting organized easy. At only 0.7 inches thick and 4 ounces, it's small enough to fit comfortably in any pocket. It also features a fast, 33 MHz processor and an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be charged using the included travel charger.

Entering data and navigating are now faster with the Treo's built-in QWERTY keyboard. You can look up a phone number, view your calendar, and switch applications easily with one hand. Or use two thumbs for fast typing of notes and e-mail.

Display
The Treo 90 delivers text and graphics in vivid color with its 12-bit display. The transmissive color STN display offers a backlight for easier viewing in a variety of lighting conditions and supports over 4,000 colors.

Expansion
With the Treo 90's integrated Secure Digital (SD) expansion slot, you can easily add a variety of applications--from games to databases--as well as family photos without compromising size or sacrificing memory. It is compatible with both SD and MMC cards. You'll also be able to add more functionality using optional SD cards, which will be available in the future.

Operating System
The Treo 90 runs the popular Palm operating system (OS) and is compatible with thousands of applications that use this platform--from games to enterprise business software. It includes all the classic applications that you've come to expect from the Palm OS for Handspring, including Date Book Plus, To Do List, Memo Pad, Advanced Calculator, and CityTime world clock. It also features a few new applications, like Contacts (an improved Address Book), that includes Instant Lookup. This new feature enables you to find any contact, usually within three taps of the keyboard.

Handspring provides its own version of the Palm operating system--Palm OS 4.1H--which seems older than the current Palm OS 4.x now available. Handspring continues to make its own versions of the Palm OS, some of which are given back to Palm and incorporated later, and some that are only available in Handspring products.

Extra Software
In addition to the built-in applications that come with Palm OS 4.1H, the Treo 90 offers the following applications on the included CD-ROM: the Blazer Web browser, One-Touch Mail (POP3 compatible), SMS messaging, phone drivers for connecting to compatible GSM phones, and the WordSmith word processing application. WordSmith features rich formatting capabilities and offers seamless integration with Microsoft Word.

Synchronization
The Treo 90 comes with a USB HotSync cable so you can instantly back up, update, and exchange information between the Treo handheld and your desktop computer. (An optional recharging USB HotSync cradle is available separately.) A CD-ROM is included with the Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager applications for both Windows and Mac; you can also choose to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook for Windows.

Compatibility
Like other Handspring handhelds, the Treo 90 is compatible with the following Windows and Macintosh computer systems:

• Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP with USB port (USB cable included); Windows 95 and NT 4.0 with serial port (serial cable sold separately)
• Mac OS 8.5 through 9.x with USB port

In the Box
The Treo 90 comes with a USB HotSync cradle, travel charger (100 to 240 volts), metal stylus, and CD-ROM with Windows and Macintosh desktop software. It is backed by a one-year limited warranty. --Agen G.N. Schmitz ... Read more

Handspring-the world of compact PDA's
I just got my new Handspring Treo 90 about a month ago, and so far, I have no complaints. Seriously, what got me into the Treo first was when I saw doctors using it for appointments on CNN saying PDA's are really useful, plus I had never even seen one with a built in kepyboard. I'm really glad I got it finally. The screen doesn't look as nearly as vibrant as the one on the front of the box or the picture on amazon, and that's good. My eyes are sometimes sensitive to vibrant colors probably because I don't have good eyesight, but it's still great to have a color PDA after using a black and white one ever since I got into handheld devices.

The built in keypad is very original, almost like a Blackberry, and also very compact in the small space you have on the screen and the PDA, but as surprisingly small as the buttons (and the PDA itself) may seem, it is very easy to type in things. I'm already a pro at it, and only have sideswiped a key next to the one I was aiming for once or twice. Like for me I'm 5' 10" and my hands are fairly large, but it helps to remember assignments for High School, since I'm a junior, and things can get pretty hectic around the middle of the day when you try to remember homework. I really also like the keyboard because with PDA's that don't have keyboards (which is mostly all of them) you have to continually tap at the screen with the stylus, and it gets annoying after a while.

I'm sure I'll still be using the PDA for work when I get out of college, but while you're using it, it helps when you're so concentrated on entering in something, and you forget about the smallness of the PDA and it's just very smooth in what it does in the small space to hold. It's even got a guide through on the programs so you won't have to go back to the guide book to find out how to use the keyboard or how to get started period.

And also another thing that I like is that when you turn it off, it stays in the same place that you left it so you won't constantly be going back to the main menu and have to click on the place you were just to get there. I'm still trying to figure out what mail is all about. The guide that comes in the box is very basic, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

I didn't want to bother buying it for $300.00 though. I'm sure a lot of us don't have that kind of money, especially when you're in high school like me. But for a refurbished one, and you're not paying full price for one that might break down as many have said before, I got mine which works great, almost like a new one, at priceisright.biz where PDA's of all sorts soar in low prices, and I saw that it's currently unavailable here, so there you have it. I got mine for $39.00 because the previous owners of them all must've all had the same problem: the flip cover came off, but I like it even more without it. The battery life is also very useful when recharging. It doesn't even take an hour before it's fully recharged, and it last's a long time. Like me, I'm used to my Sharp OZ-590 (which I still have) which needs one triple A battery, but I wanted to upgrade to something more modern, and durable, and recharable instead of regular batteries; thus the Treo 90, and it works great.

Synchronization is a little hard to figure out, but once you do, it turns out to be extrememly helpful. I learned how just today, and I got to download a good number of games. I was sort of angry when I found out I had to download the games from the cd rom, and I couldn't figure out how to synchronize, but now that I figured it out, it works perfectly. Try not to pay attention to the guidebook too much. It might mess you up even worse. I just went with my own instincts.

The metal stylus is also very helpful in my favor. It's a lot more heavier than just the plain plastic ones, and is easier to hold because it's wider than the other ones. Everything is very useful. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because if the bottom buttons are touches while it's being jostled around in a backpack or a purse, or pressed up against someone in their pocket, it'll turn on. I've already found it on twice after pulling it out of my pocket, and I was wearing baggy pants, and the fact that you have to press two buttons to get to the main menu is sort of annyoing, but these things can easily be worked out. No big deal. All in all, I hope Handspring comes out with a lot more PDA's this size and compact. They'll definitely be a huge help in the long run of a busy life.

Died after one year
I loved my Treo 90....while it lasted. One month after the warranty was up the unit completely died. Reset wouldn't help it. The manufacturer would repair it...for almost the cost of a new one. Be wary of this product.

Psychadelic, Mon!
I got 1 of these PDAs for my b-day, and it's great! I dropped it in the toilet, and it still works! My dog ate it, but it came back. It must be magic! Bye bye, silly-willy! ... Read more

LIke it
I needed a low cost PDA/phone for my high school freshman son (who loses things a lot) and this did the trick.

Stellar-But Buy the Warranty
I think I have had one of every Handspring product except the Treo 270 at this point. Color was not a big need. I purchased my first 180 in Feb 02, and picked up the extended warranty. I was very glad that I did.

The Treo has everything that I could want in a unified form factor. My Calendar/Phone/AddressBook/Work Files are all included in the one machine. Now that I have the Targus Universal Keyboard, this thing is practically self-sufficient. Despite the marvelous features and form factor, reliability has been an issue with me, and many others apparently. Check the comments at TreoCentral.com regarding periodic problems.

After I purchased the extended warranty, the sent me a new Treo within the first 90 days (in basic warranty). Since I need the phone constantly, the new Treo is sent with a return box for 29.00. After 90 days, the story changes unless you have Extended warranty. They have replaced my Treo 5 or 6 times since I bought it, and speed/courtesy are part of the warranty. The product is not perfect, but their quick and courteous treatment of the extended warranty provisions is excellent.

I am waiting for the Treo 600, which is hinted to be the perfect PDA/Phone. But I will buy the Extended Warranty. ... Read more

shoddy
I suppose this might be a cool device if it actually functioned properly.Almost from the second I unwrapped it there were problems - it freezes every other day.I don't know how much data I've lost cumulatively.I don't even want a replacement, I want a different model.I'll even take a "lesser" model.If Palm support fails me (which I hear is likely) I'm going back to handspring.

WHAT'S A LAPTOP?
As a New York Criminal and Divorce attorney, I swear the 1-705 is
guilty of being the best friend you can have out there in the field. The ability to read Excel & Word docs is a godsend, and between the power to remote access the internet, and the freebie downloads available for a palm, who needs a laptop? This beauty and a cell phone, and you've got all the equipment you need to be a successful road warrior. You are hereby summoned to appear with your i-705 and run your business on the run.

Inferior
I received the i705 for Christmas.I have had nothing but trouble with the product.The Infrared radio didn't work.I tried for several weeks!The absolute worst part , however, was Palm's customer service.If you think they are out there to help you, you are wrong.They agreed (after several phone calls), to replace the unit.This was a new unit that they finally agreed to replace. After reading the fine print, I realized they were going to send me a reconditioned unit, and by now, there are better products on the market. Curiously enough, the unit still hasn't arrived. Additionally, you need to sign up for their service, which is pricey.IfI have to have a reconditoned unit, I may as well have the top of the line reconditioned PDA.The price on this unit has come down considerably, I guess there is a reason.Oh, and the customer service department may be suffering from post Christmas stress, as they were a bit touchy, to say the least. ...

Fake batteries - Cheap Imitation from Networker-7
Fake batteries - Cheap Imitation from Networker-7
I made a mistake by ordering this item from a reseller. I bought them from "Networker-7" and he sent me a perfect set of batteries, but something was wrong. The battery package was badly sealed (like it never passed QC) and when I opened it and checked the batteries, the colors and fonts were slightly different from my other original Cybershot Batteries, which came with my camera. I compared them carefully and realized this are fake sony batteries, just an imitation. Must be some cheap-made-in-brazil ones with a printed sticker on them or something like that. Be aware of this seller. Buy from Amazon Only!!!

The only rechargeable batteries that work.
I've tried others for my digital camera--but these hold their charge and continue to recharge many times over. I lost my original set and was forced to buy other brands a few times over because I couldn't find Kodak in retail stores. I won't waste any more money on other brands of rechargeables, they simply don't last.

Works great
It really seems to work great after 6 months and many charges.It was a very economical purchase and worked great overseas.Oh yeah, it works with any NiMH.By the way NiMH really lasts longer than regular AAs for my mp3 player.Disposables make zero sense to me.

A Great Charger
Traveling outside of the U.S. with a digital camera?You better check your battery charger before you leave.I tried to find a battery charger that operates from 100-240 volts and they are few and far between.This model is one of them.Voltage converter you say, read the instructions on a voltage converter all the ones I found for sale specifically said do not use with battery chargers.

I picked this charger up with 4 batteries for $20 and all I had to add to it for use throughout Europe was a plug adapter.It takes 8 hours to charge which is a little long, but all you have to do is plug it in before you go to sleep and they'll be done when you wake up.I don't know what I would have done without this charger on my trip through Europe.

works great after many charges for cameras, minidisc, etc
got it free from the Kodak's camera purchase, but does not mean it's junk, in fact it works still very well, gives full charge and auto shut-off the way it's supposed to be, charges little bit slow (8 hours) but may actually be good for the batteries, too much current too fast will destroy the batteries, one big plus is it take both AA and AAA and it also works 100-240v, some other KODAK chargers don't do that, take care of it (never drop it) and it'll reward many years of good service ...

Small font and poor customer support
My install had a lot of hiccups and customer support was no help.They said they would let me know if there was an update available--never happened.I just donated it.I also didn't like the small font.

Pocket Quicken vs. Handmark's PocketMoney
I have been a long-time user of Handmark's PocketMoney, and recently tried a 14-day trial of Pocket Quicken.

As you might expect, each program has it's strengths and weaknesses.

While PocketMoney has a nicer, icon-based account list, Pocket Quicken seems a little cluttered, with awkward rounded and square "buttons" to switch between account list and register.I also thought PocketMoney had a more natural method of entering data - more like Quicken.

So, if I like PocketMoney so well, why am I giving Pocket Quicken a 5-star rating?It all comes down to the conduits - how the information transfers between your desktop and PDA.Pocket Quicken wins, hands down.PocketMoney requires a manual export procedure, where you have to designate a particular file directory.It doesn't always work all that well, even if you are an experienced computer user.If you are a novice, well, it's just too much trouble.

Pocket Quicken's strengths more than make up for its weaknesses.It works so naturally with your desktop version of Quicken that every Hotsynch keeps both your PC and your PDA current.Compare the free trials of both versions, and I am convinced you will also come to the conclusion that Pocket Quicken is the best personal accounting software for your PDA.

Accounting Synergy!
I am in awe of this product. It is used with a Palm Zire 71 and synchs with Quicken 2002 on a laptop using Windows ME. It performed so flawlessly after I downloaded and used the trial copy that I wasted no time ordering the full version (Amazon.com, of course).For its intended mobile purpose, I find no reason to fault this program.
Anyone requiring on-the-go data gathering with simple and accurate transfer would do well to try it. ... Read more

PalmOne Zire Handheld
Average Customer Review:

Editorial Review

Small, light, and compact, the Palm Zire handheld is a great PDA for anyone looking for a basic electronic personal information manager to help organize their tasks, meetings, and contacts. Getting started with the Zire is simple, making it ideal for people who are new to the world of handheld devices.

Organization in your Palm

We were up and running within 20 minutes of opening the package. As part of our setup, we synced the Zire with Microsoft Outlook. Initially, we had to try twice before we could successfully sync our data, but have been able to sync data flawlessly ever since. All of our contacts and scheduled meetings transferred effortlessly, and we quickly came to depend on the Zire to tell us where and when we had to be at a given time. However, with only a 2 MB storage capability, this handheld won't hold a huge about of data.

The Zire is attractively colored with a white front and a silvery gray back, but Palm really cut corners with the screen cover. The cover is made of a flexible plastic that flaps around when it is supposed to be centered on the screen, and is awkward to keep out of the way when you want to access the screen. It's so annoying we recommend not using it at all. Fortunately, the screen cover comes separate from the Zire itself so this is easy to do.

While not a powerful handheld, the Zire is worth considering if you're looking for a way to keep your tasks, contacts, and meetings organized. It performs those tasks wonderfully, and is priced affordably. --Patricia Atherly

Unreliable
I need a palm to have my calander and address book on hand at all times. This model proved to be extremely inefficient. The lack of backlighting meant that often I could not see what was on the screen and it's memory would empty from one moment to the next. I would be stuck with no calander or address book. I contacted the company by email and the only advice they had was to keep the Palm seperate from my cell phone. This I did, to no avail, the Palm continues to discharge it's memory.
I have now discharged the Palm into the rubbish bin and will not purchase another!

Wonderful Item
I don't know what people expect when they buy this item, but for me, it was to keep addresses, phone numbers and download my outlook calendar.If that is all you expect, then this is perfect.For those people who live and die by the palm gadgets, then get yourself one of those expensive palms. Zire is cheap and convenient enough to take it anywhere you want and you don't get upset when you bang it around a bit.I had it for about a year and zero complaints.Also, the battery lasts extremely long for my purpose.So, if you are a simple guy like me, then this is perfect for you.If you are expecting a small computer, then you need to spend some money.Hope this helps.

Decent product - horrible support!
I bought this Palm as a cheap contact manager - that's what I got - I knew what I was getting into. However, a word regarding Palm support...

After a couple months - the screen went completely black and I needed to call tech support. What a nightmare. It's obvious to anyone that Palm has exported its help desk overseas (India most likely). The five different support engineers I talked to ALL had very thick accents, could not understand simple English sentences, could not make logical decisions (they follow a very formal script) and made the whole experience VERY frustrating, time consuming and expensive (they don't have a toll-free number anymore). The point is simple - sooner or later you're probably going to call tech support for help - and in my opinion, the "help" desk at Palm is horrible!

Good not Great
I think it's pointless to go on and on when writing a review so I'm gonna keep this short:
The Sony clie peg-nx70v is one wonderful piece of equipment.
I found that I extremely liked some of it's features like the compact design with the rotating screen, the thumb keyboard, the icon lay out, the camera/video recorder, and the voice recorder.
However, I rate it only good not great because of the annoying weight, how prone it is to being damaged, it's batery which tends to die rather quickly, and it's price.

Overall, I recomend the Sony clie peg-nx70v to most anybody!

me and my Clie
This thing has more buttons & bells than I'll ever use!I'm glad I bought a book "How to use Your Clie".The included paperwork doesn't begin to explain everything you can do.Screen display is sharp & clear.I like using Graffiti to enter data rather than the keyboard. (You have three entry methods to choose from.)

Great product
Unbelievable technology!!!Great sony software to improve the useability and increase the features available.Incredible leadership by Sony, very innovative.I purchased mine for $299 a display model at a local retailer, I had a 32 mb memory stick from a video camera I had,I have only had the CLIE for a few days but its wonderful,I have not tried to sync it yet, for mac you need the program the Missing Sync for 30$ you can download it I haven't yet, but I have read good reviews and it seems like a solid program.

No complaints, it seems that something like this should costat least$1500.The software that Sony provides for it is excellent Bravo Sony!!!I purchased the Zire 71 which is also an excellent product at a great price around $249, but if you can get the Sony for anywhere close to $369 or more its still a great deal. ...

Loose and flimsy pins in the socket
I am disappointed with this charger.On a recent overseas trip, the flimsy and weak clip twisted and came loose and I was unable to use the charger for my Tungsten C Palm.Very disppointing and poorly disgned accessory for the Palm.I am planning to contact Palm and ask for a refund or a replacement.

Great product!
I am 40 yo professional woman with a palm 130.I originally bought this poduct as a TRAVEL charger ONLY.I was a little put off by reviews saying it was flimsy, etc. But I was feeling desperate to find something smaller than the large charger which plugs into my computer.I just received my charger, and I am impressed.It is small, lightweight, holds my palm securely, and fully charges in about 2.5 hrs.It has now replaced my regular charger (which I use to back up into my computer about once a week).For my palm 130, this is an indispensible item - even if you don't travel!Oh, the travel bag is convenient for storing it all in one place when I'm on the go and fumbling around in my suitcase to find it!

YES it works fine in Russia
