Cons: n volume control fresh out of the box

I actually won this item but have always wanted one. Although I didn't pay for this item, I would pay the 329.00 knowing what I know now about this item. I have tried several things to organize my daily life including day-timers and nothing has worked...

Cons: Cost, Limited Memory

Have you been looking at handheld organizers and can't decide if the Palm V is for you? What I looked for in a handheld computer:

Pros: Excellent Syncing, good software availability.
Cons: memory constraints.

I've used Newton (sadly missed), Windows CE and Palm devices, and for my own part, the most critical aspect became the syncing capabilities of each platform.

Each of them comes bundled with applications to perform most of the functions you...

Pros: nice look
Cons: pricy

The Palm V is housed in a thin, subtly curvaceous, anodized aluminum case: It's half the thickness of a Palm IIIx and weighs almost two ounces less. The Palm V's four user-programmable buttons are nicely recessed into the case and are pleasant to touch....

Pros: Very small, Sharp screen, Attention grabber (especially from the opposite sex)
Cons: Pricey, Can be distracting

I am the least organized, laziest person on the planet. That makes it tough to remember test dates, get projects in on time, remember people's phone numbers or even remember my own phone number. At the beginning of the Fall '99 semester I decided to...

Pros: Size, Ease of Use, Adaptability
Cons: Fragile

This product, in my mind, is the ultimate PDA device around. I know, I know, the Palm VII has internet capabilities that outweigh the Palm V, but do you really need to surf the web that much? If you have a desktop or a laptop, you can surf and check...

Pros: Small, Lightweight, NO BATTERIES!!
Cons: Typing

I was walking by one of those Radio Shack type stores and got a glance of the Palm V. A couple days later I saw two people using them and decided to check it out. When I asked the guy about it, he said the best part (he thought) was an infrared beam that...

Pros: Productive and FUN!
Cons: Expensive depending on where you buy it

I finally bought a Palm V and I'm so glad that I did. With a new year approaching, I was trying to decide whether or not to buy a new set of pages for my Time Design book or to go with the Palm V. I'm so glad I went with the electronic solution.

Pros: Once you get use to it, you'll wonder how you lived without it
Cons: At first hard to learn how to write

Never before on any Palm Pilot to date have I seen such a device with so many wonderful and useful features. I get so many more things accomplished on a daily basis, due to this little but powerful device. It takes notes, recored numbers, addresses,...
