Palm IIIxe Handheld

Pros: versatile- it does more than a paper organizer
Cons: lid does not adequately protect the screen

Now that Palm is offering a $50 rebate through selected retailers, the Palm IIIxe is even more of a bargain. This offer takes the Palm IIIxe down to the $200 price range. The Palm IIIxe offers almost all the functionality of the Palm Vx for $200 less....

Pros: Best value model, includes sync software
Cons: Hard to find, limited wireless connectivity

I won't wade though the merits or pitfalls of the Palm line of PDAs over their competitors. Some people like WinCE, some prefer PalmOS. Buy what you need.

I researched the Palm line quite a bit before buying, and for me, the IIIxe hit the...

Pros: Fantastic Price... 149!!! dinero , Clear Screen, Flip Cover, plenty of RAM
Cons: Older design form, Yellow-brown screen, the stylus placement and stylus, slow sync

I recently reviewed the Visor which I own.

My dad has recently picked up a Palm IIIxe.

The Good:

It's closeout time, and this model can go as low as
$149+tax. At this price, it is the cheapest, most affordable and...

Pros: Easy to use, ton of RAM
Cons: Email

For years, I used a DayRunner and Now Up-To-Date for Macintosh. This seemed to work rather well. I'd print out a schedule or address list and throw it into the notebook.

After eyeballing PDA's for months, I finally took the plunge and...

Pros: 8 megs of memory, best price
Cons: not slim

The Palm IIIxe by Palm computers is easily the best model they make. Despite the fact that there are newer models, this remains the best model. The reason is the price. It's only $250.

It has one advantage over the normal Palm III. It has 4...

Pros: You can store almost anything and everything on it.
Cons: The touch screen is very delicate (I mean it) and needs great amount of care.

I bought my Palm while I was on an assignment to the US. Before I went about buying it, I had not seen a palm for myself (though I had seen people show off their little BRAINS held in their palms), and so went about learning about one on Epinions. From...

Pros: Plenty of Memory, Can be upgraded, Lots of free software, ease of use
Cons: Wish it was color and battery life could be longer

I purchased the Palm IIIxe because I finally got tired of my Day-Minder, The Day-Minder is way to Big and Bulky. When I first got the Palm I opened it up and installed the software onto my laptop without any problem. After the installation I was up and...

Pros: User friendly, 8 MB, best value (when bought in early 2000)
Cons: Pretty expensive, looks cheap

Great little organizer and toy! When you are busy, it can help you out in sorting and organizing dates, appointments, reminders, etc. When you are bored, download games onto it, or even hack it!

This general purpose machine can be used for...

Pros: small, easy to use, convenient
Cons: none I can think of

I had heard so many good things about Palm Pilots and from all that I had heard, they were "the thing" to have. I knew that they had e-mail capabilities and also acted as an organizer but what I didn't know is that you can actually download...

Pros: Everything except for one or two or Three.
Cons: No internal SD SLOT and No backup battery, and no AC adapter.

From review comment on DRAM problem: (copied from self)...I didn't want to re-type anything...as it will fit in my review of the IIIxe.. after the zire 31 quit on me.. :( way after warranty, I got a IIIx from my father, now just a few days before this ...

Pros: easy to use, convenient, light weight
Cons: Despite my prejudices - none

First, let me say that I can be something of a Luddite. I like technology just fine, but I really prefer a pen and paper – and if you must know I would like that pen to be a fountain pen. Having said that, I finally broke down and bought myself a Palm...

Pros: Cheap; Entertaining
Cons: Big; Difficult to read; Difficult to write

I was previously an avid Franklin Planner user, so I thought the Palm IIIxe would be an ideal upgrade. However, you to seriously reconsider if you are planning to upgrade as well. The bottom line is that the Palm is still difficult to use and difficult...

Pros: Convenient, Simple, User friendly, Plenty of space for your daily activities, Lots of fun.
Cons: Price:$199, No color, LCD really sensitive.

Memory
8MB is more than enough for an everyday use, I only use 4 megs. It has my daily needs on there, I put in when I need to go and walk the dog, meet people, and do some important things also it has games and numbers of my friends. Palms...

Pros: Easily portable; the only organizer you'll ever need!
Cons: I've been advised that when the batteries die, all stored information is lost.

Does this sound familiar: millions of tiny paper scraps covered with telephone numbers, addresses, and appointment dates and times? These were the items with which my purse, desktop, and dresser drawers used to overflow. I would write notes to myself...

Pros: great backlight, clear screen, supports almost all programs
Cons: none really for the price of $200
