Unit works great until it decides to reformat itself. I started out with the original Zire. After a couple of months it erased everything I had put into it and went back to the original software, even stuff I had thrown out. Palm fixed it. I sold it to ...

Pros: excellent display, Palm OS 4.1.4
Cons: faulty hardware out of box; poor customer service on returns

After spending the best part of a day setting up the Zire 71, I took it outdoors to try the camera. Total bummer. The camera is faulty, fresh out of the box. The image resolution, 96x96 pixels per square inch, should give a decent image of snapshot or ...
