Palm IIIxe Handheld

Pros: low price, strong 3rd party support, long battery life
Cons: occasional alarm problem

When I was researching for a pda, I wanted a machine to keep me organized and entertained at the same time. That's why I purchased the Palm IIIxe, the little machine that could.

Now for the goods:

hardware:
8 megs of ram...

Pros: It is what it is- very helpful. Very capable little PDA considering the age.
Cons: Old-ness, AAA batteries, b/w screen

I bought this little bugger for 4 dollars at a school junk sale. I must say, it is what it is- there's very little difference between this and even today's top model, save for more space for your programs, a rechargeable battery, more space, and internet ...

Pros: a Palm , 8 Meg memory , solid build ,dependable, great s/h buy
Cons: no USB, eats batteries , no internal rechargeable battery, unexiting design, oldish now

[will write fuller review later] Great dependable organiser with ample 8Mb of memory and Speedball 16 Mhz processor. Good clear sharp screen. Solid build Bit long in the tooth now, but a good s/h buy on eBay etc Eats batteries, so worth getting ...

Pros: Nice price, well featured, 8mb mem
Cons: no color screen here

An Ode to Palm

I love my Palm IIIxe
It is by my side endlessly

I bought it so I could be real cool
It makes all the techies really drool

But then I found it had its charms
It became an extension of my...

Pros: 8Meg Memory Allows For All the 3rd Party Software I Could Possibly Want
Cons: Stylus is the same lump of plastic that came with the original Palm Pilots.

I have owned and used (every day) a Palm III for about two years and the 2 Megs of memory just wasn't hacking it anymore. Palm was offering a $50 rebate on the Palm IIIxe during the holidays, so I took advantage of the lower price.

...

Pros: Sync's well with Outlook2000
Cons: No replacement media available; gouges for post-warranty repair

I have owned the Palm III, and most recently a Palm IIIxe. The reason I chose the product is that with the addition of Chapura Pocketmirror (included with both models) I could basically take my Microsoft Outlook data on the road with me keep email,...

Pros: Upgradable OS, Cheap
Cons: none

I've had my Palm IIIxe for about four months, and I must whole-heartedly say this is one of best PDAs on the market, dollar for dollar. Is it color? Well, no. Is it thin and lightweight like the Palm V series? No, not that either. But what it the Palm...

Pros: 8MB Memory, Standard Palm Features, New Stylish Black Color, The Most Sold Palm! The Best Rated Palm
Cons: no cons

Let me start out by saying that I have just purchased a Palm IIIxe and I couldn't be happier. A month ago I decided that I would treat myself to something for the holidays and was very interested in these new PDAs that hit the market. I am a computer...

Pros: Everything
Cons: 265 price tag can be an expensive new toy

When the palm pilot first came out I saw it as another toy for the very rich or the very busy. Boy, was I wrong. Purchasing the Palm IIIxe was perhaps one of the best buys that I have ever made.

I bought my Palm IIIxe from Circuit City (this...

Pros: Large Capacity
Cons: None

I first purchased the new M100 but had to return it after a week because of a sticking button. Fortunately they did not have another in stock. So I opted for the Palm IIIxe and I'm glad I did.

It has plenty of room to add all your favorite...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: expensive

I love my Palm Pilot IIIxe!! I bought mine about 3 weeks ago and it is so cool, I can't even begin to tell you. I have access to write my e-mail at ANYtime, even while I'm waiting at the Dr.'s office and then can do a hot sync as soon as I get home and...

Pros: Small, compact, has many features.
Cons: Black and white screen, not enough memory...just obsolete!

The Palm IIIxe isn't a bad handheld, and must have been a good option as a handheld organizer when it came out, but today it's just obsolete. The specs on the product do not even come close to the ones available on the most advanced palm machines today....

Pros: Excellent OS, Superb Product, Lots of OS Support, Great Customer Service
Cons: Haven't thought of any yet.

----------------------------
Update: August 2000

I have had my Palm IIIxe for several months now, and I can't be any happier. I have become attached to may Palm IIIxe! I feel lost without it! :-) But seriously, the Palm IIIxe has...

Pros: -8MB storage space -IR connectivity -Low price -Works like a charm -Graphiti (handwriting) has good recognition
Cons: -Poor sound quality (no MP3s for you) -Graphiti (handwriting) takes an hour or two to learn

This is probably the best hand-held computer there is.
First of all, let me enlighten you on the differences between this, and the Palm IIIe, IIIx, and all the other major Palms.
This is the upgraded version of the palm IIIe and IIIx.
The...

Pros: Great gadget. Excellent OS
Cons: Monochrome screen, hard to see.

I bought Palm IIIxe a couple of weeks ago. That is, after three months of reading many reviews and research, and hands on try-it-out at local Office Depot.

Many things that were not apparent at the time of purchase will surface when you...
