Summary: This is just what I needed !
Review: Palm Vx is a perfect companion that is essential in keeping my busy schedule, contacts and todo lists. Before the Palm Vx,I had many PDAs starting from Apple Message Pad 120, Boss, Sharp Zaurus 5800, Sharp Mobilon CE computers. All were fine, but they were bulky to carry around all the time. Initially, I was struggling to decide whether to purchase a Palm IIIx(4MB) or Palm V(2MB, but thinner), but Palm Vx was the perfect solution giving me 8MB of memory in a slim Palm V package. The Palm Vx is thin and small enough to carry it anywhere. If you can't take it with you, you won't use it very much. Synching up with outlook was very easy. I usually, enter all my meetings and todos on my desktop PC at work and I synch them up to my Palm Vx. Furthermore, I have all my contacts, notes and mail with me. I carry a lap top with an IR port. Hotsynching through the IR works great and convenient! No cables to carry. I especially like the Avantgo.com hotsynch capability. Through it I get all the news, stocks, relevent info from the web sites that I choose. Recently, I read all the down loaded news while I was waiting for my son's haircut. Great time saver. Easy a touching a button. I also carry vital information on my Palm Vx using freeware/shareware DOC readers that you can down load from a web site. You can easily convert MS word documents into Palm's DOC format. The Graffiti hand writing recognition works pretty well. Much better than my old Message pad 120. I have even the map of Boston's Transit system down loaded into my Palm Vx. You can scroll the map with your Stylus. There are thousands of things you can down load to make the Palm Vx as useful as you want it to be. The only drawback I see is the price. Need to go through a tough justification process before deciding to buy it, but I think it's worth it. Now I cannot go anywhere without it. It's always by my side.

Summary: Impossible to synch with Windows; dreadful tech support
Review: An elegant and useful device ruined by frequent difficulties synching with Outlook and lack of a USB interface that would speed connection and reduce port conflicts. Tech support has no toll free line and has, after three weeks, prooved incapable of resolving the difficulties.

Summary: All in all a very good buy
Review: To be honest, for an average-income employee, this sucker causes an arm and a leg, and it is a bit hard to justify the purchase ... at first. I did a lot of research, and I wanted to buy a useful and powerful PDA that I would be able to use constantly and consistently. I am aware of products like Palm IIIx, Palm V, Handspring Visor, or even Casio Cassiopeia. Based on the speed, memory, design, size, weight, software expandability, reputation, and usability, I have decided Palm Vx is the choice for me. If I had to choose between IIIx or V, I would have picked IIIx, simply because 2MB of RAM is just too little. Vx encapsulates the fortes of V and IIIx, and then some (e.g. Faster processor - 20 vs 16, more memory - 8MB vs 4MB vs 2MB.) Window CE PDAs are handheld computers, not pocket-size organizers which you can easily fit it in your shirts', jackets' or trousers' pockets. It tries to do too much. If I want to play with Windows, I have my home PC, work PC, and my laptop available. Of course, if you like to use Excel and Words on a device so small that looking at a file which has more than 5 columns will give you a excruciating headache, though in color, sure, get the Casio Cassiopeia.I just attended a business Christmas party, and I carried my brand-new Palm Vx with me so I could enter all these new acquaintances' contact information and filed them probably in seconds instead of writing it onto a napkin. I looked trendy and professional. Can't beat that! The sleek style would have been a bit more difficult to accomplish with larger size PDAs. (You don't know the difference 2 ounces can make to the overall design of your evening-wear until you tried it.) Palm Vx has everything I need. I really enjoy downloading my contacts, meeting notes, emails, and WebPages (AventGo is a very nice feature) onto my Vx and read it on my car ride home without killing a forest. Additionally, I can easily backup all the information on different computers that I have access to (you can't trust anything these days.) The lithium ion rechargeable battery is truly a blessing too. My bank account is running low after the purchase, but my personal well-being is certainly going up. If you decide to get it, the traveler kit is a must. You can use it at work or when you are away without carrying the cradle around with you. Size does matter!

Summary: Palm Vx - Fantastic!
Review: Only my second day using it and I love it already! All of the advantages of the V, without sacrificing memory space, which is important since the unit is not expandable. The slim form factor means it's always available in my shirt pocket when I need it. (Larger units might incorporate more functionality, but if they're not handy when I need them, or they're inconvenient to carry, what's the use?) Syncing with the Palm Desktop is a cinch. I did have trouble synching with MS Outlook 2000 and I have not gotten this issue resolved yet. I'm working with 3Com Tech support. I think that at this price, 3Com should supply a toll-free support line, but that's really my only gripe.

Summary: The weight, the added capacity and screen are superb.
Review: This has become an ideal tool as I juggle a multitude of assignments in corporate, non-profit and domestic arenas. It surely has gotten me more organized as I carry the needed information with me, without being technologically obstrusive. One strong peeve is that the back-lighting is rather pathetic. Further, the cost is rather high for justifying an across the department, or across the team, or even an across the family, purchase.

Summary: How much is it worth to you?
Review: The Palm Vx is great. It's stylish and elegant! The Palm Vx is a great orginizer and it looks great, but is that enough to justify spending twice as much as the competition costs? I'm sorry, but I just don't think so.

Summary: Palm V with way more storage capacity
Review: I love this PDA because it has the ease of the Palm V with enough memory to store 5,000 appointments, 100s of emails, etc., while being able to run some of the 1 or 2 mb apps. These apps including GolfKeeper (1.88mb), allows you the ability to take your Palm even farther

Summary: Great unit
Review: I upgraded from a Palm Pilot Pro about 5 years back to a Palm Vx and then again this year to a Tungsten C. The Vx was a very reliable and robust unit (I got the hard case for it which makes it fairly indestructible) and did everything I needed for a long time. The reasons I upgraded were:
- colour screen so I could carry pictures and movies of my family with me, and watch DVD and MPEG movies (Tungsten C quality is fantastic for these). The colour also enhances all the applications, especially DateBk5
- WiFi just in case I needed to get email whilst away - though so far I've not been anywhere without an internet cafe in range !
- expansion slots so I could store and listen to audio MP3s and which alows me to make a complete compressed backup onto the expansion card (so I don't need a laptop with me nowadays as well)
- enogh memory to store DocsToGo, Ultralingua (French dictionary), Handbase and a few other apps which I use heavily
Unless you need/want any of this, the Vx will do the basics very well indeed. However, the Tc is pretty good too so far (and I can sync via WiFi anywhere in my house so the cradle I only need for recharging now) and you will certainly find useful things to do with the extra features and memory.
