Palm IIIxe Handheld

Pros: You just don't get 8MB that cheap
Cons: A bit bulky

I was sooo excited to get my IIIxe last Xmas, and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of getting their first handheld. I find it to be indispensable, and you will too. Makes a great gift for [grad] students, young professionals, and anyone who...

Pros: excellent, useful product
Cons: very little

I had long wanted to buy a Palm product of my own, and for this purchase, I was deciding between the Palm IIIxe and the Palm Vx. Both essentially have the same specs, but the Vx has the obvious "cool" factor. I decided on the IIIxe for a number...

Pros: Small and very portable
Cons: battery life could be longer

I bought my Palm IIIxe last summer and because I am a Palm developer I got a discounted price. I got this little gadget so I could get my email and keep track of my daily schedule. But when I got is out of the box and started playing with it I found out...

Pros: Reasonable price / performance.
Cons: Major reliability issues.

This is my third or fourth Palm device (I'm losing count) and likely to be my last. For the second time in less than a year, it's unable to sync using the com port connection. I can get around this at work using I/R on my laptop, but it's slow and my...

Pros: Incredible power for price. Plenty of room for software, calendar, address book.
Cons: Comes with a plastic stylus....I like a metal one.

Two years ago, I purchased this little marvel and have used and abused it. Not once has my IIIex let me down. The alkaline batteries I use last well over a month and with so much software out there, you will be able to find the programs that suit your...

Pros: Versatile, inexpensive, fun, size, compatibility
Cons: no color

Two weeks ago, after endlessly going through user reviews, company websites, and annoying my friends by asking to look at their PDAs, I decided to purchase Palm's IIIxe. Quite simply, it has changed my life. I'll never need to look up another business...

Pros: Reasonable price, super convienent
Cons: Easily misplaced, entering info time consuming

Being a college student I find this gizmo to be extremely useful and necessary. I can enter in the dates and times of all of my exams and can store in important numbers. The palm goes wherever I do. It is more useful than carrying a separate...

Pros: easy, fun, sturdy, well designed
Cons: screen scratches, no color, hard to see outdoors

I have had my Palm Pilot for over a year. It is the only organization tool, and day planner, that makes me want to use it. It provides places to hold all the information I need. It reminds me of my appointments with an appropriate variable of minutes,...

Pros: Keep organized easily
Cons: No rechargeable battery

I purchased the IIIxe (my first PDA) about three weeks ago. Now that I have it, I can't believe I was able to manage my affairs without it. I considered the IIIc (I like the color but is it worth the extra $150?) and the Vx, but I think dollar for...

Pros: stable, does what it's designed for
Cons: slow processor, slow sync, mediocre screen

I got a Palm IIIxe after doing a review of what's on the market. The Compaq iPAQ 3650 was not yet available at the time, and I thought the Palm IIIc cost too much. The only competition -- at the time -- that I was considering was the IBM WorkPad c3. But...

Pros: Intuitive to use, inexpensive, versatile
Cons: screen gets easily scratched by stylus

I've owned my Palm IIIxe for several months now, and wonder why I haven't bought one sooner. It flawlessly reads my terrible graffiti writing, is simple and intuitive to use. It interfaces and HotSyncs perfectly with Microsoft Outlook on my desktop. I...

Pros: Small size, lightweight, holds nearly everything
Cons: No place for those business cards unless you buy a card scanner

I bought my Palm Pilot IIIxe two days ago and I can't live without it already! As a first time 'palmer' I was a bit apprehensive but forked over the cash for this gadget and hoped for the best. Setup was unbelievably easy. I was tying in text within 30...

Pros: Life-altering organization and information storage
Cons: Frequent crashes, lousy customer service, not rechargeable.

I was once skeptical of all those geeks who organized their lives on silly handheld devices. What could be wrong with a simple calender and date book?

Being a gadget-freak, however, I eventually caved in and bought the Palm Pilot IIxe. I...

Pros: Handy PDA for people on the go, great features, and a reasonable price
Cons: Lacks built-in charger for battery, addons are expensive, and IR hard to use.

Before I purchased my Palm 3xe people asked me, "Why would you need a palm pilot? You're not a businessman!" Now that I have one, I realize that everyone needs one. For those of you who've either been born with bad longterm/shortterm memory or simply...

Pros: lots of software out there to download, Hot Sync feature
Cons: sometimes hard to see the display in bright light

I recently bought a new Palm IIIxe and it's been great so far. This is my first PDA so I didn't really know what to expect. I bought it on-line from PC Connection (www.pcconnection.com) and it came with 3 software titles from LandWare. The one I find...
