    Pros: Very thin, great battery life, reliable, cheap
    Cons: Poor visibility in a dark room, but that's it, really

    Summary: The Palm Vx has been out for perhaps 10 years. It should have been forgotten along with everything else. Why do we all love it so much? I will tell you: because it will do the job that you want it to do, without any silly frills or gimmicks. No ... read more

  • general review of Palm Vx Handheld

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 22, 2002
    Pros: Large Screen, Backlight, 8 MB memory, slim, easy to use
    Cons: B&W, low resolution

    Summary: The Palm Vx model has a lot to offer with a slim and stylish body. It features a large screen that can be read in the dark with the backlight on, but the resolution isn't the best on the screen and it is in black and white, not color. The Vx is very ... read more

    Sep 24, 2002
    Pros: high quality, wonderful product
    Cons: none

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 9, 2002
    Pros: thin, thin, thin!
    Cons: power button

    Summary: I've had my Palm Vx for about 3 years now. I've replaced the leather flap with a Parallel Designs plastic screen cover, somewhat reminiscent of a star trek tricorder flap in its function, and the original stylus has been replaced by a Pilot ... read more

  • Excellent PDA Holding Up Well with Age

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 23, 2002
    Pros: Very stylish, still the best looking PDA around.
    Cons: Somewhat dated. iPAQ maybe better.

    Summary: This is perhaps the best PDA ever made, in terms of looks, functionality, and durability. My friend got it 2 or 3 years ago, when it was just coming out. It was $399 at the time. It dropped to $299 soon afterwards. And it's still selling for around $150. ... read more

    Pros: Affordable, slim, durable, plenty of RAM, rechargable battery
    Cons: No built-in wireless connectivity, flip cover

    Summary: Design I really like the way the Vx was designed. As compared to the m100, which was my first Palm, this one is almost twice as slim, so it fits much more easily into my pocket. It is durable, having survived several drops onto hard floors ... read more

    Apr 12, 2002
    Pros: Sleek design, holds enough programs for me, can do almost anything!
    Cons: not color, not wireless, not expandable memory, outdated now

    Summary: I have had this Palm for 4 years now and while I love it and can't live without it I will probably be getting an M515 soon. The only reasons why I will do that is because this model is pretty much outdated now that Palm has come out with color screens, ... read more

    Pros: Lightweight design Extremely Thin Internal rechargable battery
    Cons: no color screen

  • An icon of the 90s

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 26, 2002
    Pros: Slim form factor, long battery life, quality construction
    Cons: difficult to read in some lighting conditions, up button sticks out too much

    Summary: A few years from now (or maybe even now) we'll look back and say "They don't make PDAs like the old Palm Vx anymore." I now own a Palm m505 but my old Palm Vx was a better constructed, higher-quality machine. The only design flaw I've found ... read more

    Pros: Nice form factor, Small, The cool silver finish
    Cons: Power button to easy to activate. Activates in pocket some times

    Summary: I have had my Palm Vx for quite some time and I loved it. I say loved it, it finally bit the dust. I cracked the digitizer. This can cost you quite a bit of money to replace. But you can do it yourself if you search the web for the parts. But if you ... read more

    Dec 18, 2001
    Pros: A dream when it works
    Cons: Mechanical and software problems

    Summary: I am on my third Palm Vx. The power button gave out on my original and I returned it requesting that the same unit be returned to me. Miraculously, the original unit was sent back to me but the power button gave up again after only 5 days of moderate ... read more
