Pros: small, Large user base, good battery life
Cons: discontinued, no back lighting, batteries are not rechargeable
Summary: Size does matter, and in this case, the smaller the better. I have always wanted a PDA ever since I first saw them. It sure beats carrying a notebook around with phone numbers and appointments and tasks to do. But there were a couple of things that...

Pros: Tiny. Faithfully synchs calendar and contact info with Outlook.
Cons: Very poor user interface. Very limited functionality
Summary: PROS: It's small ... very small -- the same height and width as a credit card, and about 1/8-inch thick. Imagine something the size of a PCMCIA card that you could slide into a laptop. In fact, it IS a PCMCIA card, and you can synch with your laptop just...

Pros: touch screen
Cons: no multimedia options
Summary: The Rex is a fully functioning handheld device packed into a Type II PC Card. This version has some add-ons: a touch screen and an assortment of improvements.
This model slips into a Type II PC Card slot for data synchronization with a...

Pros: Small size, Easy to use, 1-button synchronization. Does everything a PDA should.
Cons: No backlight, slow synchronization
Summary: The REX 6000 is far and away the best PDA I have ever used. I started out with a Palm, then went to a Sharp OZ-750. Neither compares with my REX.
The best feature of the Xircom's PDA is definitely its size. So small and so portable. It comes...

Pros: Small size, 'relatively inexpensive' (compared to some full-size PDAs)
Cons: Slow synchronization, slow operation. Task list doesn't sort the way I'd like.
Summary: At home and work, I was the model of efficiency. Tasks and contacts were all kept in Outlook. When a job was done or someone's phone number changed, a couple of clicks of my mouse brought me up to date.
Then there was my purse. You wouldn't...

Pros: Very small and portable, easy to use (enter/edit)and connectivity with PC Outlook.
Cons: Slight synch problem with Outlook, no backlight
Summary: Purchased one on eBay for $89. The small size makes this PDA a truly portable PIM. Initially took long time to synch via PCMIA slot, however, after downloading the latest driver from REX, synch takes much much less time. The REX is very easy to use...

Pros: small, functional, convenient
Cons: tough to enter data, insensitive buttons
Summary: I have been using my Xircom REX 6000 pretty heavily for about 3 months now. The reason I decided to go with this very small PDA is that I tend to abandon planners and organizers with alarming frequency. Three months may be the longest I’ve ever used...

Pros: None, really
Cons: Syncs badly; large; slow; hard to read/use; eats batteries; no add-ins; no true Web content
Summary: If you consider buying a Rex 6000, it must be for its apparent small size. So let me say this first: the Rex is not small. It is so fragile that you have to carry it in one of the supplied cases. These cases are 75% (plastic) or 90% (leather) the...

Pros: Very small and light, doubles as PCMCIA card, synch with 2000
Cons: not backlit, batteries not rechargable
Summary: As the saying goes, good things come in small packages. This is especially true for this mini-PDA device from Xircom. The REX-6000, recently released, is a portable hand-held device for keeping your contacts, schedule, tasks, and memos with you...

Pros: Tiny, Lightweight, Leather Case, Outlook 2000 Compatible
Cons: Slow Response, No Backlight, Slow Synch Process
Summary: Xircom's REX 6000 Micro-PDA has truly reversed my opinions on handheld computers. I have used the Palm III, Palm Vx, HandSpring Visor, Compaq iPaq, HP Jornada, and many more. I have found them all too cumbersome or too difficult to use. However, the REX...

Pros: Size
Cons: Limited web news, lack of application.
Summary: Size is the selling point of this PDA. You will be disappointed if you compare it with Palm or PocketPC. But keep in mind that it is supposed to be a "micro" PDA, you will appreciate its size and practical functionality.
There is not much...

Pros: Tiny, Looks Cool, Easy to use, All the PIM info you need
Cons: Fragile, Must Synch frequently
Summary: I ordered the 6000 to review for work. When you open the box, you are certainly impressed by the compact size, then once you play with it a little, you are surprised at the ease of use!
PIM = Personal Information Manager
I received...

Pros: Small, Light, 2MB, Touch screen, USB, Well built, Easy to use.
Cons: No backlit, Slow, No NT, Mac and Palm Desktop support.
Summary: Besides minor glitches I'd rate Rex 6000 as an exceptional device and a revolutionary concept on par with original Palm Pilot. It shines especially as a full-size PDA add-on. To compliment my trusted Palm I needed its small view-only copy that I can...

Pros: Small device, can be synched with a desktop and/or laptop, easy to install and use
Cons: No backlight.
No complete manual.
Summary: My first PDA, a Rex 6000 (ordered directly from Xircom), arrived yesterday. I already have it configured and have connected it to my laptop (just by inserting it into the PCMIA/modem card slot) and desktop (using the USB cradle). I will enter info...
