by ronpoz , Dec 28 '00
Pros: Tons of Memory, extensible
Cons: Screen scratches easily,
I love this product. I use it to maintain contact/calendar/task lists with my Outlook at home as well as work (bought an extra cradle). There is tons of software for it, but I mainly use it for contacts and calendar. I also use AvantGo with it for...

Actually makes me LESS productive!

by rjyu , Jul 23 '00
Pros: A great device to get organized, and have fun.
Cons: Hey, where did all my friends go?
So I decided to purchase a Palm due to the utter state of disorganization in my life. I picked a Palm since many of my friends swear by them. Looking over the different choices, it didn't take long for me to get the IIIxe. I really didn't need the...

The Screen is not as good as others!

by mediahound , Oct 18 '00
Pros: 8 megs, Palm OS upgradeable, has flash rom unlike Visor
Cons: Screen seems dark/hard to read, no USB (unless you pay more for an adapter)
I don't know why this unit has as many good reviews as it does. The screen is dark and the text is not as black as a Handspring Visor or even the Palm V.

I have done comparisons, and the Palm IIIXE text looks brownish and the screen not as...

Cheap is not always the way to go

by 186294 , Dec 07 '00
Pros: 8 Megs memory
Cons: Memory problem
I went through tons of information on PDA's and narrowed down the choice to the Palm III xe. I liked the 8 Megs of memory and the very inexpensive price tag. After it arrived I spent a couple of hours adding all of my addresses, phone numbers and the...

Pros: Outstanding memory (8mb), affordable to the average consumer ($249), overall excellence
Cons: Black & white screen lacking the industry's move to color
In spring of 2000 3Com© released its new hand-held PDA, Palm IIIxe. Being a member of the III series, it offered "affordability" and reliability blended in to make a version that would set records of a high-quality product mixed with the new...

It organized my life!

by andybot2000 , Mar 06 '01
Pros: Small, lightweight, backlight for viewing in complete darkness, inexpensive ($199)
Cons: Fragile, poor sound quality, expensive USB connection ($40)
Now I never forget anything! This is the perfect tool for anyone who has a busy schedule and tends to forget anything they don't write down. My only reason for purchasing this device was to replace my bulky paper organizer. What I have found is...

Palm IIIxe - Basic Functionality, Not Much Fun

by kirty18 , Apr 24 '01
Pros: Easy to use, lots of memory
Cons: Not upgradeable, fewer options than Handspring Visor
As a college student, I got the Palm to help organize my life. The unit is very easy to learn and navigate through. The calendars are very useful - they can be seen in a month, week, or day to day format and let you see in seconds what your schedule...

Palm IIIxe - I want the bare necessities...

by bigjohn77 , Jul 21 '01
Pros: Does what I need it to do. Good tech support.
Cons: Batteries need replacing more often than the Professional
I purchased a Palm IIIxe as a replacement for my old Palm Professional, whose digitizer went south on me after 5 years. I didn't need a lot of features, so I went for the basic Palm model. There's not a lot to say about it, other than it's reliable,...

Tim Allen is right, MORE POWER!

by danecoff , May 17 '00
Pros: Memory, upgradable OS, lots o' software available
Cons: higher cost

When I was shopping for a PDA, my main concern was cost. However I then decided to go all the way and get the Palm with the most memory (8megs) and I am not sorry one bit. If you are the kind of person that is fascinated by being able to...

Great concept, horrible quality

by hbj200 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 18 '00
Pros: Simple, stable, light-weight, long battery life, universal
Cons: Questionable quality, slow, no color, forces you to learn special shorthand, expensive as a PIM
The Palm is a pleasure to use, at least most of the time. The Palm IIIxe comes with 8MB of RAM, which is most suitable for people (like me) who download large reference tools. If you don't need to download such big files, a basic Palm III or the more...

by evabaran , Apr 11 '01
Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, a snap to install
Cons: stylus which comes with it too flimsy, not enough memory
Well, after years and years of lugging around a bursting to the seams filofax, I finally broke down and got a Palm IIIxe and life has been sweet ever since. I have seen other people using them before so I had the general idea of how to use one. The...
