Editorial Review Palms 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 youve 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...

Reliable
I've had this thing for at least 3 years and it just works.It does what it's supposed to and rarely locks up (usually because of some weird software I've downloaded for it) -it's easy to use, the battery has held up...I've dropped it on hard tile floors from 3 - 4 feet up and it hasn't broke yet.I have absolutely no complaints.
3 1/2 Years of Day in and Day Out Use
The Palm IIIc is by all accounts a dinosaur by today's PDA Standards.But there was a time when this was leading-edge PDA technology.Back in 2000, this was Palm's first entry into the Color PDA market (using a Palm OS). 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

Best PDA!
I am sad that Sony is no longer in the PDA business.This is one of the best PDAs of its time.I've had it for several years and still use it.It combines all the features I need, plus more.The keyboard is the main reason I purchased it- very easy to use and illuminates.I also love the ability to check email and surf the web, snap quick pictures, read files, and listen to music and audiobooks.The battery life is not the best, but there are lots of accessories and there is an extended battery.It comes loaded with applications and games.The screen is a nice size.I still get questions and compliments on it!
Hoorah for the UX50!!!
Finally, a handheld that offers everything built-in that is extra with most other handhelds! Surf the net, take a picture, and play games, as well as a built-in keyboard. I LOVE this Clie.
Very nice and beautiful clamshell look but some cons

great first palmpilot!
the palmone m130 is a great palmpilot but if youve EVER owned a pda its basicly the same old same old with color and a sd/mmc slot...
Defective power switch, battery won't hold charge
I've had 2 model 130 Palms- neither was of very good quality.
Never Worked
I started out w/ a Palm M100 "back in the day" and loved it.I then "inherited" my brother's Palm IIIc, which I liked even better.Basically b/c it was color.

BEWARE:Carginogenic - Prop65 in the manual.
The manual says THIS PRODUCT, ITS PACKAGING AND ITS COMPONENTS CONTAIN ONE OR MORE CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS OR REPRODUCTIVE HARM.
Garmin GPS10
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.
Great - But some of them die quickly
I've ordered about 20 of them.This is the best bluetooth GPS receiver out there.But I've had 4 or 5 of them just quit after a few uses.Garmin grumbles but honors the warranty by completely replacing the unit.GILware software is the best Windows based GPS navigation and mapping software and I use it in conjunction with these units; it is a great, easy to use setup.

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.

Editorial Review The Palm IIIxe handheld builds on earlier Palm III models by offering more memory and more options. Its 8 MB of RAM (four times the memory of the popular Palm IIIe) and 2 MB of flash ROM keep track of all your appointments, memos, to-do items, expense items, and e-mail, plus you can add thousands of third-party applications. Although the Palm IIIe and IIIx models have ample memory for many users, the Palm IIIxe better supports users who rely upon their organizer for data-heavy operations. Read more

Might be nice if it worked
I ordered this from a reseller, cg_enterprises@tds.net. The unit arrived without a cradle to charge it. I emailed the reseller and was told it would be sent overnight. Four days later it has not arrived. When I contacted the reseller again, I received the following professional response: "Bite Me!".
long time user..
I still use my palm IIIxe.. bought it in 2001 from Amazon.Actually this is my second one, my first one bit the dust, so I bought a refurb for $39.00 and it synced up with the 4.1 OS... it is great for addresses and calendar + todos... I also type memos with a keyboard when I'm in the field.Also this is used daily from am to pm... at night I dl avantgo and read news from the otherside of the world before bed...
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.

Mine Died
My Tungsten T# just died.It is in a forzen state.It will not reboot or even turn off.It is just over a year old and I am now looking for a new PDA.
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:

Still doing its job after 3 years!
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!

Almost 2 years and (almost) no problems
Minor problems, but very good so far. 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.

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.
