Pros: clear case, III form factor including screen, compatible with III accessories Cons: 2MB, non-upgradeable, OS 3.1, no expansion, inverted backlight
The Palm IIIe SE is a very cool Palm. Identical to a Palm IIIe except for its clear case, the IIIe SE is the only Palm OS device ever released with a clear case out of the box. Marketed to students in the United States and sold mostly in college...
Pros: most widely used OS therefore the most software. good small PDA Cons: bulkiest of the Palms, no rechargeable batteries, and no flash ram.
After I wrote this review I realize that it is very long so I decided to create a shorter review at the beginning which just highlights my thoughts. Please read my full review if you have the time! Thanks!
Pros: Pirce, Ease of Use, Reliablity, Features Cons: Looks, No RAM / Memory Upgrade
Let's call it the "Rocky" of the PDA world......the veritable underdog. The Palm IIIe is the most basic Palm there is. It's not slim and sexy, like the metallic Palm Vx. It's not got memory enhancing hormones like the Palm IIIx. It's not as...
Pros: Versatile, inexpensive, ease of use Cons: Only 2 MB of memory. Doesn't sync with the entire MS Outlook package.
I initially purchased a Palm IIIe but realized it only synched with the mail feature of Outlook and I needed to synch with the whole MS Outlook package. Rather than upgrade the software I returned the IIIe and got the IIIxe for $250 ($100 more than the...
Pros: Small, Versatile, Easy to Use Cons: None Yet
Getting a Personal Data Assistant (PDA) was always something that I thought would be cool. I would drop hints to my wife, saying that one would make a great birthday or Christmas present, but I was always thwarted. “You don’t even use your planner,”...
Pros: Inexpensive, does all that an organization person wants Cons: Doesn't have all the slots for additional plug-ins
As of Christmas Day, my wife became a proud owner of a Palm IIIe. This came about mainly because of the great love her husband has for her (Demonstrated by the Difficult Deferral of DVD Devices he Drastically Desired), but also because the IIIe was made...
I just got an awesome deal on a Palm IIIe and I'm so stoked that I have to let the world know. The best price I could find anywhere else was about $160 and that was from ghetto company that wasn't very trustworthy. I got this great $139.99 deal at...
Pros: Great organizational device; very stylish; easy to use; tons of fun! Cons: None!
The Palm IIIe, just in case you do not know, is one of the many palm computers out there. With
this device, you are able to upload files onto your Palm, have Internet capabilities, and plan and
organize your day. There are many features that go...
Pros: Easy to Use, Very versatile, Highly supported by software developers Cons: May not look sleek enough for Executives in which case they should get the Palm V
** Overview **
This is a great beginner's PDA! I couldn't believe how easy it was to learn. The years of experience of the Palm company really shows in how incredibly well designed this product is. If your life needs a bit of organizing you can...
Pros: Low cost, good entry-level PDA, Cons: ugly cover
A while back, I broke down, succumbed to corporate marketing strategies, and bought a palm IIIe. I have always been the type that just kept track of stuff in my head, but lately I have been missing many appointments largely due to the failure of my...
Pros: Intuitive interface; great software; adequate memory; great price; looks really cool Cons: May be hard to find
*Sigh* There's nothing worse than a gadget lover with no money. You'll read countless reviews on this site from knowledgeable, articulate people who have disposable income to burn on their favorite gadgets and gizmos -- PDAs, cell phones, portable MP3...
Pros: Size, Added Benefits, Price Cons: "Learning a New Language"
Who says size matters? With the Palm IIIe Organizer, you can practically program your entire life into literally, the palm of your hand. Using this device, you'll never miss another meeting, deadline, or homework assignment (sorry, I'm a college...
Pros: Get the functionality of a Palm for less! Cons: Wishing you bought a Palm V
After driving econo-Ford Escorts, flying coach, using Safeway tarter-sauce, drinking RC-Cola, and now it's come to this...the Palm IIIe-cono. It's time to draw the line here! The Palm IIIe is great for those of a homey lifestyle, for kids (they have a...
Pros: Turn your Palm into a full blooded Wireless PDA with tons of memory and killer apps Cons: none
Update: 09/06/2000! Update is at the end of original epinion
Ok, you are the proud new owner of a Palm IIIe or a Palm V and are quite happy with your purchase. Only problem is you want to start upgrading it and aren't sure what to...
As students engage in numerous extracurricular and school activities, their lives may be stacked with an interminable list of appointments, important dates and homework assignments. The arrival of the palmtop technology, however, allows students to...
Being a freshman in college, I was suddenly bombarded with all sorts of new information to memorize. I had to keep track of new phone numbers, passwords, assignments and meetings. How on Earth was I going to handle all of it? My day planner was to big...
Pros: Ease of use, price, capacity Cons: Can't think of any
Being a sales guy that lives out of the car and has customer contact list in the 400-500 range, I really needed a way to have addresses & phone numbers at my fingertips. I have a laptop with ACT! on it to keep track of my contacts, but it's a pain to...
Pros: Invaluable for keeping track of vital information, easy to use, tons of third party applications available Cons: TOTALLY addictive!!
Well, I had an OUTSTANDING Christmas this year. My wife gave me my gift from under the tree, I tore off the wrapping paper, and lo and behold, there was a shiny new Palm IIIe. I was absolutely ecstatic. Finally I had a new toy to replace my aging Palm...
Pros: Affordable PDA, amazing expandability, very useful with many different practical applications Cons: No Flash ROM in the Palm IIIe, 2 MB of RAM can be limiting at times
I recently purchased a Palm IIIe as part of a promotion between Handango.com and Redgorilla.com. Basically if you signup for Redgorilla.com and pay a one time fee of 99.95$, you get either a 125$ gift certificate or a free Palm IIIe (no add'l charge for...
Pros: Easy to use, compact, dynamic software, tons of peripheral devices.
Cons: Only two Megs of onboard memory.
The Palm llle was one of the first real PDA’s (personal data assistant) on the market. It was the best of both worlds. The Palm llle wasn’t as big and bulky as a laptop, yet it was a lot more functional than the electronic organizer. The Palm llle is...
Pros: A definite improvement over the old-fashioned paper organizer Cons: Alarm could be louder
When I switched to a new position at my job, there were many things that I had to do on a weekly or monthly basis. I was already using a paper organizer, but the thought of writing all of those recurring tasks into my paper organizer made my head spin....
Join the Revolution!
I’ve joined the Palm Computing Revolution and I love it! After only three weeks, (and you’ve heard this from other reviewers,) "I don’t know what I did without it." The Palm system is powerful, convenient,...
Pros: Cool Second Edition Case, cost, standard PalmOS Cons: Not upgradable, only 2MD of memory
"Why can't I upgrade?!" That is what I hear at my office, when despite all my efforts a co-worker buys a Palm IIIe. If you want to purchase a Palm, and I strongly recommend that you do, do not buy a Palm IIIe. They IIIe was mainly...
Pros: price, functionality, ease of use, simplicity Cons: a bit delicate
Yes, the Palm IIIe can do almost everything.
Let me start by saying that I've always been a fan of gadgets. But one of my personal
favorites has to be the Palm...
Pros: Reliable, very easy to use. Cons: Not expandable.
Is the Palm IIIe the best PDA out there for $149.99? My epinion is no. Allow me to introduce you to the Handspring Visor. I researched these two products for a long time. Just before purchasing the Palm IIIe, I found the Visor. The Visor and Palm are...
Pros: Perfect for the job at a great price Cons: Get more memory if you want to do more
If you are looking for a PDA to handle contacts, schedules and a variety of other tasks, there is nothing better than a Palm IIIe. It is small enough to take with you all the time, the batteries (2 AAA's) generally last 2 months. At a current street...
Pros: Easy to Use, Great Features, Excellent Price Cons: Can't Upgrade OS & RAM, Batteries Not Rechargeable
First things first... How easy is a Palm to use? I *wrote this review* on mine!
So, what do I like about the Palm IIIe? It's got everything I need in a PDA for less than $200! Sure, it's only got 2MB of RAM, but what does that hold? ...
Pros: fast, fully function organizer at a great price Cons: screen can be scratched easily
I bought the Palm IIIe for my wife's birthday as a replacement for an old casio calculator that held about 50 telephone numbers and the like. Boy what an improvement in technology. Not only does this machine keep your telephone numbers, but addresses,...
Pros: Price, Screen, Similar Functionality to other units Cons: Does not include software to synch with Outlook, minimal price difference to offset loss of features
Are you on the quest for the perfect organizer? You can't justify dropping $400 on the V when it has the same "guts", VII=not way, the IIIx has more memory than you will need, and the III is so "last year"?
Pros: Excellent replacement for my old organizer Cons: Can be costly in the long run, especially for the higher end Palm models
I recently decided to get my life in order as far as my daily tasks and other things I need to get done. I'm a very forgetful person for most things and was looking for something where I could organize my life. I work at a local computer store where we...
Pros: it is light, packed with value, and helps me every day Cons: it doesnt really have sound, but that is only a really small drawback
I have said that various products were great investments on my part but I believe that the Palm IIIe was the best of the best when it comes to investments.
The Palm IIIe is in my opinion the best PDA that anyone can buy. This is for many...
Pros: Trendy, Inexpensive Model, Keeps you organized Cons: Operating System is lacking, Just a glamorized rolodex in the end
I got a PALM for graduation. I love the technology. But it is simply a glamorized rolodex. Now I am not knocking the PALM IIIe...the first month I got really in to the technology. But after a while my laziness and needs for something more powerful...
Pros: stylish, affordable, small, lots of available applications Cons: not expandable
I ordered my Palm IIIe Special Edition from Outpost.com for just $179, with free overnight shipping included in the price. In fact, I placed my order at about 6 p.m., and by 11 a.m. the next day, I had my new toy. This is how e-commerce is supposed to...
Pros: simple to use, consolidates information Cons: screen clarity somewhat dim
I am the type of person who has several projects going on at once, and therefore relies heavily on priority lists and calender's to help keep me organized and on track.I've also come to appreciate the usefulness of a computer and was most intrigued at...
Pros: Easy to Use, Inexpensive, No Updates, Can use with Microsoft outlook Cons: NONE that I've found so far
First, let me say I never WANTED a PDA. I thought they were just another stupid fad in the ever widening list of gadgets that we can buy, like cell phones, fax machines, PC's, and so on and so on. So, when I received one as a gift, I wasn't exactly...
Pros: Easy to use, small, fun. Cons: Fragile, with a few annoying problems.
I should start by saying that my Palm Pilot is a life-saver. Taking up less room than my wallet, I no longer have to lug around a paper-laden mess of a datebook. I no longer have to remind myself to check the calendar for important dates. I no longer...
Pros: Easy to use. Fun. Cons: Some what fragile, you will want to buy a case for it.
If you're like me, you may be trying to decide if you should purchase the Palm IIIe or not. I was like you too. Is it too much money? Will it be easy to use? Will it break? Will it help me out in my daily life? All I can say to these four questions...
Pros: I Love This Product Cons: I had two defective units in 2 months
I'm the worst organizer in the world, and if you are to then the Palm IIIe is for you. It really is a cool little gadget I was surprised how attached I became to it in just a few short months. My wife purchased it as a Christmas gift. I kind of knew it...
Pros: Portable, light, play games on it Cons: Fast Battery Drain
I wanted a Palm in order to organize my school notes and homework assignments and when I'm board during study hall, play games on it. The cheapest one there is at the time is the Palm IIIe for around $150, and probertly cheaper later. I wanted to get...
Pros: Portable, All-In-One Daytimer Cons: None to note.
When I received this Palm IIIe as a Christmas gift from my husband, I had just resigned from my professional job to become a full time mom. So I had kindly asked my husband to return such a pricey item, just to keep my schedule. I didn't think I'd need...
Pros: Affordible, Great for Beginers to the Palm Cons: Limited Memory (2mb), non-upgradable
I was weary about buying a PalmOS device. I am a WinCE1.0 junkie and was very used to having Word, and Excel with me. Now since i have had the Palm for a few days (and over 2 weeks of the Palm III emulator) I am enjoying it more and more!
Pros: Great organizing tool, e-mail on the go, address book in your pocket, all the supported software (there is a lot) Cons: Backlight sucks power, Graffiti writing system is kind of picky
I first bought a Palm Pilot Proffessional about two years ago when the were still new, and I loved it from the day I got it (batteries were included) and its things just like that, besides its great features that have really sold me on the Palm...
Pros: Size, Back Light, Price Cons: Can't think of any!!!
Recently I was in need of a universal remote control that would control my whole home theater system and allow me to write scripts to control actions. I heard about software that did this for the Palm OS, so thinking that it'd be pretty cool to control...
Pros: great price, software, easy to use Cons: only 2MB of RAM (not bad)
I received this Palm Pilot in the mail one day and I didn't order it. I opened up the box and the Palm IIIe was sitting there with no letter or explanation. I had no idea why I got it. I eventually tracked down the person who sent it and found out...
Pros: low price and TONS of great freeware programs Cons: short AAA battery life
i love my palm IIIe its great, they are good to use for games ( yahtzee is great ) you can store dates with clients or whatever you want, has a great calculator. But i think the main reason why a palm IIIe would be better than any other palm device is...
Pros: Cheap, very useful, versatile, easy to use, solid construction, compact/lightweight Cons: Cannot add RAM, short battery life, sometimes hard to sync
Since the Palm Pilot Professional came out, I've also wanted one but I was never able to get around the price. Prices only got worse with the introduction of the IIIx and V, and then the IIIe came along for 150! I knew I could benefit from its...
Pros: Easy to use, better than paper planners Cons: A little on the fragile side
I got my Palm IIIe shortly after I graduated from college. I had been using a paper planner for a couple years, and it was beginning to become unmanageable. I also am a computer scientist, so this was the last step I needed to become a true geek. ...
When my IBM Workpad (Palm III with an IBM sticker on it) gave up the ghost I thought I could live without a PDA for a while because of expense of buying a new one. Living without it was harder than I thought and it was only a few days before I was...
Pros: Palm platform and well-thought out design ability to sync with other Palms or PC Cons: No Keyboard, Grafitti somewhat hard to learn
I love my family. After my Psion broke, they bought me the Palm IIIe for Christmas. Granted, I haven't had a lot of time to play, but I like it so far...
First of all, you can't deny the price. They got this thing with a three year service...
Pros: keeps you organized and on time, Computer nerds will have fun programming for it (yay) Cons: a little pricey still at approx. $250
Wow, and I was whining that I didn't have a laptop. Now I don't even care. This little puppy is my new favorite toy. It has opened up my life in ways unimaginable...for example:
You used to find me in my room at college in front of my...
This functions very well. The hotsync is so simple child could use it. Its as simple as pushing a simple button. This makes data transfer to your computer simple. Backing up is also very simple. The Desktop manager program that is used to store your...
Pros: Simple, Affordable, One-touch PC synchronization, Many software out there Cons: Replaced by m100, Too little memory
I have been using Palm IIIe since 1999. Back then, my godson broke my PalmPilot Personal and he gave me an excuse to buy a new organizer. Palm V was the star at that time but I was looking for something less expensive yet can do everything as my...
Pros: thousands of software available. Good price and capability, proven brand Cons: Small memory, Visor offers better deal.
When I first got my Palm IIIe, I was thrilled. It is the same feeling I had when I first got a PC. Palm is indisputably a true personal computer. It is my brain backup and second I. I take it anywhere I want and enjoy using it.
Pros: Inexpensive Cons: 2 MB RAM, but I still haven't come close to using it all.
I originally bought this Palm IIIe, because I could not afford a better one. I am very happy with it, though. It may be low-end at only 2MB, but I haven't filled it up yet and I am a power user. The only thing is that I don't have enough room to add a...
My palm pilot is my little buddy. it is great. I own a palm 3e and it is the best. I recently i got a program that converts it into a windows like desktop and its great. it is complete with 2mb of ram, has email, schedule, to do lists, calculator, memo...
This little gadget is great. It does all the things it say it would do. The user interface is way better than those Windows CE devices. When you buy this device it comes with lots of software. But their is so much free downloads you can get from the...
Pros: easy to use features, great price, really helps you organize Cons: screen is still not the most ideal screen for a PDA
After using my PalmIIIe for just about 2 months now, I have found it to be an invaluable tool for keeping up with just about EVERYTHING I need to organize. I mean, this thing is GREAT!! The graffiti writing part of it took a bit of getting used to and...
Pros: small lightweight and powerful Cons: battery life usally 2 to 3 weeks
MP3's IN YOUR CAR ????? Yes that's what I said. Quite frankly that's the only reason I bought one. But I will say that after owning one there are numerous benifits. I take it everywhere with me now. Back to the topic, do you have an old pc sitting at...
Pros: Cost, Efficiency, Appearance, Ease of Use Cons: Not Palm OS Upgradable (overlay upgrades available)
I have a Palm IIIe SE. I use this product for work, college, and fun. I use this unit on a daily basis. I have my schedule, phonebook, directions, pictures, books, games, a mirror, and the solar/lunar calender. I must check each of these and this...
Pros: Small, cheap, and useful Cons: I don't see any-- though some people think it doesn't have enough memory
Before buying the Palm IIIe, I had read the details of it online and found out that it has only 2 MB of storage space, the OS can't be upgraded and additional memory can't be added. I was somewhat worried but this was my only choice due to its $150 price...
Pros: Very inexpensive, easy to use Cons: Limited functionality, average display, graffiti input not intuitive
As I write this review, I do not have a Palm IIIe anymore. I had one for almost a year, and it became clearer every day that this PDA was not doing everything that I wanted to do. I now own an HP Jornada 525 PocketPC, and it’s much better suited to my...
Pros: Easy to use Cons: you do have to change the battery every once and a while
I was involved in a car accident two years ago and my only injury was a closed head injury. Or as they explained it to me, I had brain damage. I laughed at first at the idea, but as time went on I soon realized that I was having problems organizing...
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to learn and use Cons: I can't think of anything except maybe they could include an extra writing pen
I love this PDA, and, after throwing $100 on the cheaper (in every conceivable way) Royal DaVinci, I feel I finally have a great PDA. I am a consultant and my briefcase is my office. I need all my important info with me. I could carry my super...
When I first started looking for a PDA, I was on the market for a cheap yet effective device that could accomplish my hardest tasks. Being overwhelmed by such words as "Palm Pilot OS" "Visor" "Mega Byte"...
Pros: flexible storage, easy-to-use, inexpensive Cons: finite memory storage and no internet links
My Casio 32K organizer was all I thought I'd need until my brother-in-law suggested I check out the Palm IIIe. WOW is all I can say. The first time I hot-sync'd I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
The Palm IIIe is a great value for the money. If you are a person who loves to be organized but needs help BEING organized, this is the product for you. Although, the Palm IIIe only has 2 MB of space it is more than enough for the average user. If you...
Pros: Excellent at basic organizer functions, a lot of 3rd party apps Cons: Screen is very prone to scratches, OS non-upgradable.
The Palm IIIe, while good for basic functions, does have some problems.
What are the benefits of the IIIe? Personally, I bought it for the low price, the cheapest Palm on the market at $150, when I got it six months ago. Everything you expect...
Pros: Inexpensive, plenty of bells and whistles Cons: Less memory than other current models
The Palm IIIe is a stripped own version of Palm Computing's electronic organizer systems. While it does not have the expandability of some of the more expensive models, it is a very good choice for those making their first venture into this category....
Pros: now on sale at officemax.com Cons: could use more memory
Well, I finally got into the PDA market. And i chose a good time to do it. At officemax.com you can buy palm iiie right now for $179.99. That is a fifty dollar savings. 3Com is the manufacturer and have a product that can get up to speed in no time. It...
Pros: Excellent LCD and Backlight, Good Graffitti recog., Good Sized Memory, Good Battery Life Cons: Could be a little smaller.
I bought my Palm IIIe about 2 months ago, when the price dropped. I must say, as far as palm top devices go this is the way to go. It runs on a seemingly slow 16MHz processor, but the fact that the PALM OS runs so quickly and efficiently I really...
I recently bought a Palm IIIe and have used it almost constantly since I bought it. It is great for storing all the phone numbers you forget along with all the business cards I get. The infrared data transfer was a great idea. I have traded business...
I have used Palm IIIs for two years now and have been generally pleased with them.
Benefits include:
1) Convenience: a III is smaller than a comparable paper organizer and fairly cheap, so you tend to take it with you in situations...
Pros: ease of use, available software Cons: it does everything but cook
I replaced my Palm III with a Palm IIIe and found, initially, that the screen was better indeed. However, I tend to want to use the III more than the IIIe. I found it to be a better screen after all. As a summation, the IIIe works the same with the...
Pros: Very affordable for its power Cons: Not a lot of memory for extra programs
If you're like me, you forget things easily. Birthdays, dates, when certain assignments are due, your work schedule, etc. After I bought the Palm IIIe, everything changed. Everything you need is already included. I mostly needed the scheduling and...
Pros: Inexpensive Cons: Somewhat Limited in its Abilities
The Palm IIIe is convenient for anyone who just wants to get organized. For someone who isn't interested in games, or in a lot of extra programs on it, the Palm IIIe is inexpensive, yet runs well. It can handle everything from organizing phone numbers...
Pros: Price, Flexibility, Connection to Computer Calendar Cons: Lack of software to synch with Microsoft Outlook
I own a Palm IIIe and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am an attorney and have never carried a paper calendar around with me to meetings, hearings, etc. because I prefer the flexibility of a computer calendar with contacts, tasks, etc. The Palm IIIe was a...
Pros: you can do so much with them Cons: hard to learn graffiti at first
When I first bought my Palm IIIe people said I was wasting my money.... Well to everyone who said that you were wrong. My palm pilot is great I could not live with out it. It is able to give me all of the phone numbers I need with one touch of a button,...
Pros: Keeps your life in order Cons: Need to learn how to navigate it a bit, it's another gadget to add to your collection
When the Special Edition Palm IIIe (the one with transparent casing, and coloured covers) was released, we were so impressed by it that my boyfriend and I both bought one each (because we wanted to be able to beam each other stuff!).
Pros: Better LCD than Palm III Cons: It's no Palm V
Having owned a Palm III, I was familiar with the device's extreme helpfulness as an organization tool. After losing the Palm III, I received the Palm IIIe as a gift to replace it. Be warned, once you try it you will be hooked!
Pros: Cool & Cheap Cons: Little bulker than other models, memory
A palm IIIe is the best palm for the money. This little PDA(Personal Digital Assistant) has 2 mb of memory inside of it, storing everything you need. If you wish for more memory you can boost yourself up to a IIIx for a couple more bucks (it holds 4...
The palm IIIe operating system is for the most part reliable. The differences I have found between the palmIII and the palmIIIe are that the the three-e has less available memory included. On the up side, the monitor of the IIIe is far superior....
Pros: you can put ANYTHING on your Palm Cons: tech support is horrible and there are a few bad units out there
Everyone needs a Palm.When I first bought it I thought it was a hi-tech rolodex but the amount of software (free and low-cost) on the internet that one can download onto the Palm is INCREDIBLE. I would be wary of spending large sums of $ on the Palm. I...
Pros: Fast and effective, no problems Cons: E-Mail function limited
I am a traveling salesman and service rep. and was looking for an answer to my clipboard jungle. I had read a little about Palm Pilot and met a customer service rep. in Circuit City that had a Palm 111e and had used it for several years. He answered...
Pros: Functionality and size Cons: Screen brightness
I really believe that this is the best Palm product on the market today. The size and weight are excellent, and it has all the functionality of the other models.
I use it to keep track of my entire professional and personal life and have...
I bought my Palm because I'm one of the types who likes gadgets. I also wanted to see if this could be something that could supplement or even replace my PowerBook for keeping a schedule, address information, etc. It has more than done that. Yes, its...
Pros: Excellent for on the road use Cons: A little Expensive
The Go Vox digital voice recorder is a nice accessory for the Palm III line up. It's not a very popular product; I mistakenly came across it on a web site one day and realized it was just what I was looking for. I works totally independent of the Palm....
Pros: small, handy, long battery life Cons: has crashed on occasion
I absolutely LOVE having this little device. For once in my life I'm not carrying bits of notepaper with phone numbers and notes on them. It's great to have everything all in one place.
I've got this clear edition because it seems to go well...
Pros: cheap Cons: no rechargeable battery. not stylish
This is basically a good Palm with good price. But before you buy this i would recommend you to spending a bit more money buying the palm 5.
both of this should be enough for normal users and they have enough memory to store games and address and...
Pros: Price (if you can find one), quality and ease of use Cons: They don't make it anymore
To keep it short and simple I am going to tell you that this is a great deal if you are looking for a PDA. It this is your first time even dealing with a PDA, you will never want to have anything less.
I started my love affair with PDAs (Personal...
Pros: Simple, affordable, and very useful. Cons: Small memory and not as thin as other models.
Being new to the Palm lifestyle I thoroughly researched all of the PDAs that were within my budget (<$250). The Palm IIIe was rated the best buy according to various online reviews (i.e. CNET.com). I have a lot of friends that bought the Palm V, but...
Pros: extremely practical Cons: black and white screen
I received the palm IIIe for Christmas and I absolutely love it. As a senior in college, I rely on the palm for everything: my daily schedule, phone numbers, homework assignments, etc. I also found a great website called standalone.com which offers a...
Pros: Inexpensive, considering cost of daytimer, great functionality Cons: Um, sometimes a bit hard to read in bright light, but that's it.
Yep, my husband bought a Palm IIIe a few months before the wedding, and while I was run ragged with bits of paper flying out of my daytimer, he always managed to get his tasks done by the deadlines I gave him, and he had a spreadsheet of our projected...
Pros: Versitile, easy to use Cons: scratchable screen
The best thing about the Palm IIIe is the value. For a low price you get everything you could want in a PDA. Download a few free applications and its fully customizable. You can write messages in the text program called graffiti almost the same way you...
Seriously folks I love the Palm IIIe. Yes, people do use them for cool games like Asteroids, Space Invaders and Chess, but the real power lies in it's ability to synch with MS Outlook. Email, ToDo Lists, Memos/Notes and especially the Calendar....
Pros: Works as advertised and more Cons: Will not synchronize with Lotus Notes 5
My Palm 3e and I have lived and worked well together for the last eight months. It's been a great relationship. I have instant access to tons of memos, lists, speech notes, and To Do's. And the Address List is a dream. Replicating is effortless, clean...
Pros: The weight, the size, the style, the cost! Cons: Its not color.
Being a college student, I wanted a PDA to organize my daily schedule, handle my accounts, and have enough memory to save a few games so that I could keep myself occupied during class.
I previously owned a Mindspring PDA and just wasn’t...
Pros: not extravagant, a nice addition to anyone's set of toys--plus it is actually useful for something Cons: IR works only with other Palms out-of-box, only 2mb ram
The Palm IIIe is the most daoist of all the Digital Organizers
I have come across, it has just enough functionality to be helpful
yet cool, but not so many nifty "features" that I spend more
time playing with it than doing...
Pros: size and effectiveness Cons: no rechargable battery
The Palm IIIx is a major improvement over previous models. This holds gobs of information, I have over 900 emails, 500 contacts, 150 notes, and 10 digital magazines (http://www.avantgo.com) currently stored in my device. With the above mentioned free...
This is one of the greatest devices i have used. I'm able to keep track of everything from my expenses to my calender. I use this as my little laptop away from home. I can use this on a plane to manage my time with out taking out my laptop. I can...
Pros: All pros for the non-business user. Cons: None
This is an easy to use product that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's great to have all me addresses, appointments and reminders in one place. I'm retired and find the Palm IIIe keeps me connected, on time and thinking. I have had no problems and...

I purchased my IIIe special edition translucent case as a birthday present to myself and have had the organizer for a year now. I've only had to replace it once due to my dropping it, and cracking the screen. Other than that, it does what it needs to,...
I LOOOVE THIS THING! I just got the Palm IIIe for Christmas after begging my father for it. I've worked with the darn thing for MONTHS at work (an electronics store) and quickly fell in love with it. We paid $179.00 for it at Best Buy, and for the...

1. Send and Recieve email via AOL-Mail and a plugin modem
2. Write Notes by hand
3. Convert Hand Motions to data text
4. bring documents on the go in the palm of...
Who is going to pay $100+ more for the two MB more that the IIIx has? I'm sure most IIIx users are going to have 3MB free for the rest of their lives. I mean, this isn't WinCE where one single program can eat the whole memory or where you have 30 second...
Pros: Great Features and Price Cons: OS not upgradeable,Handwriting Recognition is not 100% accurate
The Palm IIIe is a great Palm for all, especially the
budget-conscience shopper ($130 [ecost.com] - $160. If your considering getting a Palm IIIe or a IIIx, and don't have much money to spare, get the IIIe if you don't need 4 MB memory (rarely...
I am approaching a full year with the same PDA, I received it for Christmas in 1999, and haven't been able to put it down since. As an entry level device this has been very versatile and for the most part I have been very happy with the product. I use it...
Pros: convenient. lightweight Cons: cost vs capabilities doesn't add up
I received my Palm IIIe as a gift. Since I have a imac I wasn't able to use it right away. I had to buy an adapter. I thought their customer service was fairly good though. I like the palm mostly because of the email capability. otherwise, it's just a...
How do you spell A W E S O M E? If you have to treat yourself to one cool gadget this year make it one of these.
This is one cool toy, I love the compatibilty, the tons of cool programs, the tons of cool utilities. I like the readablity of the high...
Pros: Affordable, Easy to Use, Great Palm OS Cons: No Internal Modem, Only 2 MB of Memory, Dull Appearance
This product is great. It is one of the original Palm Pilots so it has all the original features such as Memo Pad, Calculator, and Schedule. The OS is newer, so most of the downloadable applications are compatible on it. The software is easy to setup,...
My father presented my this Palm IIIe as a Birthday Gift, I was excited to see but I realized that it is waste of money. Don't waste your money to buy Palm (not only this, any palm), I will tell you why.
I purchased my palm 3e because alot of the people in my school were starting to use them. They can replace bulky notebooks, binders, and planners. I like them because word processing makes it simple to get a head start on projects or reports. It's...
A PDA like Palm IIIE is an excellent product at an affordable price. This PDA not only compliments a Laptop and it is very easy to carry around, but it also replaces a Planner like Franklin Covey Day Planner. I have been using it for some time and I can...
Pros: Cheap, Gets the job done. Cons: OS is not upgradable
When looking for a PDA, if you want something that is fancy with lots of Bells and Whistles, this is not what you want. With it's 2MB of memory, and non upgradable OS, this Palm is down and ditry to the point. Although it is not expandable, it is perfect...
Pros: good price; stable; convenient; user-friendly Cons: minimal upgradability; larger, heavier than other models; only 2 mb of memory
The Palm IIIe is a great buy. It provides all of the features that users have come to expect form a Palm: reliability, stability, a user-friendly interface, etc., but costs less than $150. The Palm IIIe is about the typical size and shape of the Palm...
Pros: palm platform Cons: outlook syncing not included
For anybody that wants to sync with outlook, do not purchase this product. Chapura's Pocketmirror software is not included with the IIIe. The software price on Chapura's website is $40(US). You might as well upgrade to the IIIx/xe for that price(the...
At $229, the Palm IIIe is a good deal indeed. It is alot cheaper than the IIIx but is very similer. It's correct that the Palm IIIe has only half as much RAM of the Palm IIIx, it has the same amount as the Palm V and Palm VII. According to 3Com, that's...
After ownig several Palm's over the last year (upgraded several times), I wanted to purhase one for my wife. I was looking at the new 150 and found the IIIe on sale. It is less money, comes with a hotsych cradle, and has more features available. She...
Pros: Simple, inexpensive, can be passed on to younger siblings/kids Cons: OS not upgradable.
The Palm IIIe is perfect for someone who wants to start using a Palm. You can learn how to navigate the operating system and integrate it into your life with a desktop system. I use the Palm Desktop Software, but there are people who integrate both ...
Pros: Small, Light, Versatile, Ease of Use Cons: No Internet
I always used to forget important things. Not anymore. I used to forget my moms birthday, and sit at my computer. Now i can remember things, and still use a computer.
Of all the Palms this is the cheapest and most compact, at the moment. It...
Pros: Excellent screen, 2MB RAM, Great battery life Cons: Peculiar backlighting, annoying whine
The Palm IIIe is a vast improvement over its predecessor, the Palm III. The most striking improvement is the new advanced LCD screen, which provides excellent contrast and readability in almost any lighting situation.
As a former Palm III user,...

Pros: Great screen, useful tool, easy to learn Cons: None for me
There are two reasons for buying a handheld: coolness and utility. If coolness is your main goal, spend more money and buy a Cassiopea. If you must have the coolest Palm, get the Palm V, but the Cassiopea is still way cooler. Not that the IIIe is...
Pros: Very easy to use. Cons: Screen is hard to see in low light situations
