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

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... ...

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

Read more Features 8 MB RAM HotSync cradle included Easily transfer data from your handheld to your PC or Macintosh Rechargeable lithium-ion battery Stores thousands of addresses, appointments, to-do items, memos, and more Reviews (193) Rock Solid I bought my Palm Vx for six dollars at a thrift store a year ago and I've never had a problem with it. I own a IIIxe, an m500, and a Handspring Visor Deluxe, and the Vx and the Visor are my favorites.The 3.5.3 OS on the Vx seems to be rock solid-no crashes or freezes. The construction also is very solid. It was made in the USA, which I suspect is the reason for the high quality. Beware of PDA's made in China! The case on my m500 (made in China) became loose not long after I bought it and when I tried to tighten the screws they just stripped. I also get good battery life on the Vx, about a month per charge. With all the problems I read about concerning the latest generation of Palm PDA's, I can't help but think that Palm peaked with older models like the III series and the Vx. You really can't go wrong with the Vx, especially at today's prices. You'll have a reliable PDA with enough memory to add plenty of applications and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. Tip: if you want the Notepad app on your Vx (or older Palm), download Notes! 1.1 for free at palmgear.com. Crashed three times I don't see why this item is getting good reviews.It's crashed three times, losing everything.Now the battery won't completely charge.I never could get it connected to the computer.Makes me wonder about Palm. Still worth it In 2005, there are a lot of PDA called Pocket PC, but when you look at palm Vx, you will love it. You are able to put it in your suit or handbag and its glass screen provides you a crystal clear writing. I only need a PDA that take care my telephone list, my personal finance and bible reading. I don't need to listen MP3 or watching DVD on the road, and this palm just meet my need. You will love to carry it with you everywhere you go. Read more

Quality But No Frills PDA I just bought this PDA used from Amazon and I'm pretty pleased with it.It's not color which I don't care about, but I am having a bit of a hard time seeing the screen well.I have had a terrible time getting it to synch correctly with Outlook and I couldn't get it to synch at all with Palm Desktop 3.5.3.No clue what the problem is, but after 2 hours trying to figure it out, I just gave up.I use Outlook Express, not Outlook and it took a lot of trial and error, but I can get it to synch names and addresses, but I can NOT get email to work since i don't use Outlook as my default mail handler.So..if that fits your situation and you want to synch for email and download from AVantgo, then do not buy this.However, I just want it for names and addresses to replace an old trusty Sharp Wizard that they don't make anymore.I really loved my Sharp though.What i like about the Palm IIIxe is that it's battery-operated (2 AAAs)- i honestly don't even fathom why people complain about this feature - they're nuts.The battery operated PDAs are the way to go because they can last forever in your purse and you don't have to remember to charge it.If the battery is dead while you're on the go - just run to a convenience store and buy AAAs.That simple.The Palm IIIxe seems pretty sturdy, but we'll see in the long run.Either with Palm or Sharp, this beats carrying around a paper and pencil organizer.The person I bought from on Amazon was great and honest too. ...

Palm T3 disaster I was about to write my miserable experience in agonizing detail, until I found that others have traveled the same path. It is a pity that a product that has come so far was (in my case, also) mercilessly deserted by its maker in the clinches - in this case a hotsync failure that eventually destroyed not only the data stored in the handheld but also the backups of those data that were religiously placed on the "official" Still a great PDA in (almost) 2006 If you're in the market for a PDA designed with the businessperson in mind, here are some reasons why you may still want to consider the T3 as we approach 2006: Read more

I have carried this PDA in my front pocket for three years. After numerous collisions with furniture and such, it still works as new. The metal case and folding design keep me from replacing this with a newer PDA. My only complaint would be the lack of Mac support. Long-term fan of CLIE NX70V I just had to put in a good word for this product. I've had it for 2 and a half years and it keeps me sane. I love all the bells and whistles that go along with it- i'm always able to keep busy during "downtime". From pic and vid capability, to the mp3 player (and voice recording), to email, to scheduling and various Palm related tools- this product has been well worth the investment! Good not Great I think it's pointless to go on and on when writing a review so I'm gonna keep this short:Read more

Had a Zire71, moved up a little. This one should have a shrine built if it ever dies. A LEMON I bought a Palm Zire72 back in April, 2005 for $299.00 and it has proven to be money down the drain.I experienced the screen freezing up on me which required a hard reset procedure thereby resulting in a loss of all information.I sent it back for repair around August, 2005.They returned it, supposedly repaired, and I experienced the same problems with it after this first repair.Around May, 2006, it was sent back for another repair and I am again experiencing the same problem.The previous two "repairs" were done at no cost to me.The company now says that they will repair it at a cost to me because it is out of warranty.The company, notwithstanding the language of its warranty, should, in my opinion, stand behind its product.The product has proven to be unreliable and a headache.Be forewarned.I rated this product with one star because there was no lower alternative. Terrible! Don't waste your money. I bought the Zire 72s as an upgrade to my previous black and white Palm that I had no problems with. It has been nothing but a lemon since I got it. Often when I turn it on it has lines going across the screen and has to be turned off and then on again to get rid of them. The graffiti is terrible and rarely works. I have to reset it all the time. Customer support is terrible and did nothing to rectify the problems. I even sent it to them at one point and they sent it back in exactly the same condition I sent it to them. I don't think they even looked at it. After my experience with this Palm, I will never buy Palm again. ... Read more

	Electronics list price: $99.99 Asin: B0000CBJ8J Sales Rank: 10156 Average Customer Review: US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Features Keep all your important information--from appointments to addresses to notes--at your fingertips 8 MB of memory, bonus software, and a fast processor Play games on the go or read an eBook Synchronizes with Outlook What’s in the box: Handheld device; Palm Desktop software including Note Pad and Expense; Software Essentials CD with Handmark Mobile DB and PDA Money; pre-installed basic applications such as Address Book, Date Book, etc. Reviews (79) Design Flaw I received this as a gift over one year ago.I did not put it to use at that time because the screen is hard to read... and my Palm XIIIE was working perfectly.Recently, I bought a new computer which did not have a LPT ports so I decided to use the Zire which synchronizes via USB.The big problem is that it is uncompatible with my cell phone.If my cell phone rings all data in the handheld is lost.According to Palm Support they should not be close to each other, not easy being a female who carries both products in the same bag.I never had a problem like that with my previous Palm. Very good value for its price Best feature is the Note Pad application, you can scribble on it just like writing on a post-it note and can save it.
