Summary: Very Happy
Review: This is my first PDA, very easy to understand and use. Perfect for someone on the go who needs organization. A lot of internal space and is compatible with most computers. It's lightweight and very portable, not bulky.
The only thing I wish was different,was that it had LED backlighting. Otherwise, very nice for the price. I recommend this one!

Summary: Love this little baby!
Review: As a first-time PDA owner, I couln't recommend this product more. It has an easy-to-use interface with logical "Graffiti" handwriting interpretation abilities. My husband and I can "beam" contacts and appointments back and forth to keep our schedules coordinated. It's packed with features and has plenty of memory for basic downloaded applications. I don't need all the bells and whistles (and this model doesn't have them...color, web access, etc.), so this price was great for everything I need.

Summary: It is what it is.
Review: If you keep your data on a Palm device, you'll understand that this is the entry level, no-frills model that can serve several purposes. For me, it is a back-of-the-desk-drawer back-up, and with its small 2 meg memory, it is perfectly suited to holding all my address book data (the key stuff!) and my memos. I don't use it for more complex tasks.
It does what it does as well as any Palm. It is not flimsily built or ill-equipped as packaged (but, ouch, the package will cut you if you're not careful!!).
I think for the multi-user like myself, it has a place, and that it also has a place for beginners or light users who may want to upgrade (or not) later on; key to all databanks is the migratability of data. You tend to build up unbelievable amounts of names and numbers, etc., and if you change brands, moving the data is well nigh impossible.

Summary: Horrible!
Review: Worked for 3months, then stylus just never registered again! Horrible device! This was my first Palm -- and my last. I'm switching to PocketPC!

Summary: First PDA
Review: I had never owned a pda before, and was looking for something to eliminate some of the items I carried in my purse (date book/planner, phone book, mini notepad, etc). I am a full time college student, own my own business, have 2 children, and a husband that works shift work. This was perfect. It took a little time to get all of the information into it (I had a lot of info to input) but once it was entered, it was very convenient and easy. As far as storage capabilities, for me it works. There are also programs / games that you can delete to give you additional space.

Summary: Lame compared to new PDAs
Review: I got one of these as a gift. It is easy to use and works OK, but is really low tech compared to the newer PDAs. The screen is hard to read in low light and is low resolution. Battery life is good, however.If you want a cheap black and white pda, at least get a Sony with the high resolution screen for another $30.

Summary: A good Palm, but worth the money?
Review: I got a Palm Zire during the summer. It was my first Palm, and enjoyed it for a little while. But I got a look at all the other ones out there, and it made me think twice. for only (a bit) more, I could have gotten one with color and 16 meg of memory!(Sony Clie SJ22) The Zire, with only four buttons, is not ideal for playing most palm games out there. Also the two megabytes it comes with won't be enough for alot of programs, such as word processers. Its monochrome display has no backlight, and this can be frustrating. However, if you want a Palm just to keep phone numbers and notes, and maybe an alarm, this palm is the cheapest one you can get.

Summary: Get what you pay for
Review: I foolishly failed to back up my data on this product and had the screen go dead on me. Lost a few weeks worth of scheduled events like Doctor and visits and work related meetings that will take me half a day to reconfirm. The sound on the alarm is too soft. The image on the screen is hard to view. This is not a very good product.

Summary: Useless as phone book
Review: If you want to buy this to store phone numbers, don't. If it is placed near a cell phone, all memory is erased! Palm is aware of this and is still selling them while they look for a way to fix them. They don't know how to fix them yet. Their solution? Keep it away from all cell phones. What a joke. The only reason I give it 1 star is because 0 stars is not an option.

Summary: I Love It!
Review: I am a stay at home Mom with a busy schedule and a large address book. I needed something to organize my life a bit. The Zire did just that! I love it and I use it all the time. If you only need it to jot down notes, keep appointments and as an address book...it's ideal... and the 2 MB of memory is plenty! I debated whether or not to get the Zire 21 instead- mainly because of the memory (the 21 has 8 MB)and I think I made the right choice. My only complaint about it is the cover. It doesn't stay open and it only protects the screen. Regardless...it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.
For someone thinking of buying a PDA for similar purposes as I need it for...I would recommend this one.
