Data Loss after hot sync with Palm Desktop Software
In my humble opinion backup your Palm Desktop software prior to using this product and performing a hot sync.
The Palm Z22
This is a really great Palm for beginners or those who don't want something so high tech it takes days to figure everything out. I would have given this 5 stars but the only thing I didn't like about this was when you want to type you use your stylist on the abc area and you have to tap it quite a few times to get it to come on. Frustrating, but in all a great gadget.

Easily the best replacement for paper planners
I bought one for my wife and she just loves it. It has a small form factor, long lasting battery, and NO DATA LOSS ever. However, it does not come with bell and whistles like MP3 player, fancy screen, etc. But as a electronic planner, it does an excellent job and it looks cool. ... Read more

Great!
I am really happy with this PDA. I was waiting to get a PDA until it was able to actually connect/interact with the world (without costing too much), and this seems to be it! (especially combined with a bluetooth mobile phone)

HUGE Disappointment!!!
I bought this device thinking it would be a great little travel companion when I'm on the road (which I am frequently).I don't always like lugging a laptop around, especially when my internet needs are basically limited to accessing email.So, on my very first trip with the Palm TX I'm sitting in my hotel room trying to get into my emial (which I had successfully done several nights before in my home) only to have an error window continually come up saying the pdf had "timed out".I have no idea of what this means, so I try going to the website of Palm.It's taking forever to figure out where to go to get answers to my questions.I'm incredibly frustrated!There used to be a day when electronics manufacturers sent owners manuals with their products.But, no more!I now have to spend a good deal of my valuable time trying to find out what's wrong with this blasted thing.It also shuts off frequently while I'm in the middle of doing something and I have to re-boot it.I really dislike this overpriced piece of electronic garbage!

FABULOUS!!
This is, quite simply, the best gadget I have ever owned, and a miracle of technology. Who needs a laptop, an ipod, and a PSP when you can do it all with one device??

Works great as a PDA, reasonable price, no problems!
The E2 replaced my Palm M105 after 4 years of trouble-free service. I have had this device for about a year and never had a problem. I have not even had to recalibrate it yet! It charges in the sync cradle and has never once had the batteries discharge. I tried using it for music, but it does not do this very well compared to an iPod or MP3 player (sound is fine though). The main drawback is the file conversion and loading process is not simple. It is also too big to be a useful MP3 player in my opinion. I didn't buy it (or my cell phone) to be a music player, so no big deal for me! :-)
BAD PRODUCT/ BAD COMPANY
This is the third Palm PDA I have owned.I bought the E2 directly from Palm after my previous palm died. It simply quit shortly after the warranty expired. Telephone support is poor and expensive.After research this is a common problem.
My 10-Year PDA Experiment is now Over !!
I've have owned a Palm since the introduction of the Palm 2 way back when. The only still-working Palm I replaced, was my very first, the Palm 2. The other five I have purchased since have all failed in some unrecoverable way forcing me to buy a replacment long before I was ready.

Disappointing.
I bought my Tungsten E about 2 months ago to replace my dead Zire 31. At first, it seemed pretty good, but it all went downhill from there.
Not too bad
I have had a tungsten e for almost 2 years. (My previous Handspring died in an auto accident.)I haven't had any real problems. It mostly does what it is supposed to. My biggest issue is that the charger is not dual voltage and a meager 90 day warrenty. My daughter has a tungsten e. Her power switch broke. The cost of repair is such that it cheaper to by a new one. I was able to disasemble the device ( no help from the Palm website ) and solder a broken contact back in place. Quite a feat with an old Radio Shack soldering iron. So far it still works.
Does What It's Supposed To Do
have used various models of Palms since the mid 90s. the Palm replaced my Franklin planner many years ago.

great medium-level palm
got the zire 72 ~2 years ago, replaced with t/x 12/05 (see my review on it). thought i should still write a review because i thought it was a great palm overall.
Palm sized power
I had a Palm III followed by a Palm V and I was pretty pleased with both these older model PDAs. After some study, I opted for a Palm Zire 72 and I am very pleased with the features.
Problems from the beginning
I bought this device because I loved that I could use it for both work and personal fun.I bought it in September 2004, and by January 2005, I'd returned it because the blue paint was peeling off.PALM was pretty awful to deal with.It was returned to me in April or May.When they did return the device, it would not sync properly.I called PALM and they gave me the run around, telling me it was my PCs problem, my company's problem, etc.They wouldn't take it back.Then the warranty expired and they wouldn't take it back, and quite frankly I was exhausted by the whole thing and stopped using it for a couple of months.Finally, in January 2006 I decided just to use it for its organizational tasks and forget the syncking.Now, June 7, that just broke and I am throwing it away. ...

Great Little PDA
I recently purchased the Sharp OZ-590A at a local office supply chain for $49.95 and it did exactley what I needed to do. I am a pool service and repair contractor and I needed an organizer to store all my customers contact info and addresses, along with some of my suppliers info as well. I set the date and clock on the unit, plugged it into the supplied USB cable and downloaded my Outlook contacts info. It worked flawlessly! It even downloaded the notes entered with each contact. All your Outlook info such as contacts, appointments etc. will download into it or you can upload from the unit to Outlook as well. It gives you home,office,fax and mobile phone numbers as well as email address too. It has a calender, appointment scheduler, anniversary & birthday reminders and evan a language phrase book and translater which you can choose not to download from the CD rom if you wish.You can even download your emails and read them on the go. If like me, you just need a basic organizer for contact info and schedule reminders, this unit can not be beat! Recommend highly.

Amazing for the price !!!
I recently bought this PDA for 49.99 since my (paid $120 and less than one year old ) palm zire 31 screen started acting up. This is exactly what I was looking for since I only use a PDA for contacts and storing personal info.
PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY
I have been a user of PALM for several years and now am retired, but find that using a handheld is part of my life.I don't need a handheld with a lot of bells and whistles, but this no doubt is one of the worst ones I have come across.I changed batteries at least three times upon receiving this personal organizer and it still didn't work....a hint of things to come.

Garmin jumps on the wireless bandwagon with its GPS 10 Deluxe, a GPS receiver that communicates with Bluetooth-enabled Pocket PCs and PC laptops to allow easy, intuitive navigating. Unlike GPS devices with built-in screens, the GPS 10 Deluxe displays its mapping and navigational data on your mobile computer's monitor, ensuring superior close-up detail, more memory storage, and faster operation than with traditional navigators. And because it's wireless, users won't have to futz with cumbersome cables that get in the way each time they need to move the laptop or reposition the receiver. The cable-free solution is ideal for cars and trucks, as the device installs via the included magnetic or Velcro mounts, or even outside the vehicle should users need a clear path to the satellites. It's also waterproof, so it can withstand nasty weather and poor conditions.Read more

Features

• Bluetooth-enabled, 12-parallel-channel GPS receiver for in-vehicle navigating
• Connects wirelessly to Bluetooth-compatible Pocket PCs and PC laptops
• Comes with MapSource City Select North America CD-ROM with maps of U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico
• Included nRoute and Que navigation software turns mobile PC devices into fully functioning navigators
• Measures 1.77 by 3.46 by 0.75 inches (W x H x D); 1-year warranty

Not road warrior friendly
The GPS unit is extremely sturdy, the magnetic mount is perfect, and the power adapter plug cover thingy is lost already (I've owned for a month).
GPS 10 - Good Unit With Some Shortcomings
The bluetooth GPS device works well. The fact that it is weather resistant and has a strong magnet for holding it on the roof of your car adds to the versatility. However, the plug which weather proofs the connector socket when it is not being charged is not attached and very easy to lose. Also, the software for use with PDAs and phones does not allow you to plan a trip on your desktop or laptop and then download routes and waypoints to the phone. With that caveat, overall operation is excellent.
Worth The money
I wanted to thank amazon for their quick response to my first order not arriving. within a week they sent me another. I have been using it everyday, and have not gotton lost. I install wood flooring in NJ PA NY, works like a charm. I use it with my palm treo 700P. ... Read more

LATE adopter
I bought mine factory refurbed: came with auto bundle.
A Wonderful Product
I have been using the 3600 since the fall of 2003, when it first come out.It is a wonderful product and has served me well.You can't beat the combination of Palm and GPS.Prior to receiving it as a birthday present I used a stand alone Palm, which was great by itself.The combination is awesome.I carry
Great Product. Never Had Battery Probs ... Maybe because ....
I read the directions before I began using it. I've had it for nearly three years now. 1) I don't use it with the screen up at max brightness; 2) When it's not connected to the cigarette lighter adapter, I disable the WA-AS setting (more than doubles the power consumption); 3) I avoid using the GPS feature for navigation when on battery power (only use it for spot locating a position) since the GPS really consumes lots of power; 4) I watch the on screen battery indicator for low charge and when it gets low guess what? Iturn it off and put it on the charger as soon as I have the chance.

Palm’s Zire brand is designed primarily for consumers rather than for professionals. The first Zire was a low cost, entry level machine, this one, the second in the range, is a multimedia extravaganza. The most eye catching feature of the Zire 71, after you’ve noticed the sleek rounded blue casing for the hardware, is the built-in digital camera. Read more

I may not be the best judge
I may not be the best judge of the quality of this PDA but i upgraded to it from my Palm Visor. It seemed easy enough to use and the camera feature was what drew my attention THE MOST! I loved this palm it remains my favorite long after its untimely demise (my dog stepped on the LCD screen! *cries*), i even tried to find on shortly after but no where could get me one as quickly as i needed it. So i was stuck with the zire 72. Its ok, the camera quality is MUCH better on the 71, and i miss it greatly but 118 bucks to replace for an identical or 120 to fix, just wasnt worth it. I loved this palm and would recommend it to any one! (Get the plug in keyboard too! Its awesome for college note taking!)

SUPER GREAT Zire 71
the zire 71 is a great palm. i love it. it has a great battery life, and a high res. screen.(360x360) The backlight is great.the camera is amazing. also the camera has 3 different resolutions.(160x140, 360x360, or 650x480) the mp3 player is great. sound quality is awsome! I hope you get one!

It's great ... but I'm still disappointed
This is the slickest pda I've ever owned. I bought it 2 years ago because of its great color screen. My eyes are a little weak and the hi res color is so nice! That it has a built in camera was just frosting at first but I find I use it all the time now. So why am I disappointed? You can't put the darn thing it its case without it turning on and running down the battery. I don't like carrying it around unprotected or banging in my pocket. And I don't want to add to the size and weight by getting a clunky box to put it in. I know this makes me a dinosaur but I actually like the original palms the with their tough plastic case and flip top. Of course the screens were so bad I couldn't read them. Oh, well... ...

11. PalmOne IIIc Personal Handheld Organizer by PalmOne
	Electronics list price: $299.99 Asin: B00004RC2E Average Customer Review: US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Editorial Review For the technophile who refuses to see the world in black and white,Palm has created the Palm IIIc handheld--a color version of the company'simmensely popular Palm III handheld. Measuring 5.06 by 3.17 by 0.67 inches andweighing less than 7 ounces, the Palm IIIc handheld is one of the smallest andlightest full-color handhelds available. Its active-matrix screen producesvivid, crisp colors and is viewable from many angles in both dim and brightlight.

In fairness, the market and technology have truly now headed to pace where most consumers can't even keep up. However, if you aren't interested in having the latest/greatest technology, the Palm IIIc may be a true bargain if you are looking for solid PDA technology. Still a solid value Great, with one caveat: *very* hard to find replacement batteries nowadays -- you will eventually need one.There is only one place I know where you can order it (cheap, only $35 for a lithium ion rechargable):Read more
