Summary: Fun and Handy Little gadget!
Review: Fun,Handy,and Easy to use! I bought a Rhinoskin Cover, in my mind a necessity. It is not protected with out it. I am getting pocket quicken to get more out of it. Keep in mind you need to have Quicken 99/2000 on your computer to be able to use it. I did also buy and would recommend buying the O Reilly Palm Pilot book. The disc is useful for downloading programs onto it. Instead of having to hunt all over the web they are right on the disc, all though I had some trouble with getting a lot of them to work or the links were out of date etc. Majority of the ones I wanted worked. Ebook selections are horrible! I liked downloading Riding the Bullet in a matter of minutes where it would have taken 20-40 on my computer. I just wish there were more selections out there. If anyone has any great freeware links I would love to know about them in order to get some more free ebooks for my Palm. Well worth the investment and I would highly recommend owning one.

Summary: I Love My Palm
Review: I've been using my Palm V for 6 months now and I love it. I had never used a PDA before and was afraid to make the leap into technology, but I found the Palm V to be very easy to use and intuitive. Learning Graffiti was quite easy and I had it down the first day. I use my Palm everyday for notes, to do lists, addresses and phone numbers, and a calendar. I do email on my PC. Hot syncing was easy, start up was easy, and the battery lasts at least a week before needing a quick recharge. I am no where near using up the 2 mb memeory, although there is lots more I could be doing with this machine. Get a case for it, but not one of the 3Com ones. Nurses think it looks cool, and for once I can read my own writing.

Summary: Great For Home use but.......
Review: I received the Palm V as a birthday present. At first I thought that it would take forever to learn how to enter information using the graffiti language but within a couple of hours I had mastered the basic letters and most of the symbols. I am not a sale person or one who keeps track of any business type of information. I planned to use the schedule and the expenses the majority of the time. I found that the handbook for the Palm V is very user friendly and most quesitons could be answered by use of the handbook. The only complaint that I have that you cannot edit the categories under the expenses type or add any expense type. It is strickly aimed at the business persons. It would be great to be able to add or delete expense types. Other than that this is a great tool for any person and really easy to learn how to use. The cost is finally coming down to make it worth buying. Don't pass this up for any reason. Give it a try, I know that you will get hooked just like I did of the Palm V.

Summary: Excellent synchronization, good software,good bang for the $
Review: A quick take on my perception of the good and bad points of this device, and some suggestions from a vetran Palm upgrader (I've returned and repruchased these machines a little too many times!)There are a few things I love about this device: 1. You don't end up changing batteries all the time like you did with previouis models 2. It costs lesser than the Palm Vx 3. Synchronization with outlook 2000 is flawless 4. The screen is very readable in bright outdoors 5. The battery lasts and lasts (they aren't energizer bunnies!) Things I do not like about this: 1. The choice of cases for this are kind of lousy. 2. Applications built into this device could have been a little more intuitive. Overall perceptions: 1. Good value for the money 2. Buy a spare docking cradle if you move this between home and work PCs (accompany sells them for dirt cheap if you are in the right buying cycle) 3. Do not attempt to browse the Web on this...you'll only be disappointed.

Summary: Very Cool, but be careful!
Review: I love my palm pilot. I'm only seventeen put i use it to keep track of my work and assignments. I have lots of other cool programs on mine too, you can download them free from lots of place on the internet. I would advise one to be careful when purcahsing a palm pilot because one must take into account price vs. use. Look and see if it is worthwhile, if you will use it frequently, in otherwords be inteligent about it, don't just frivolously spend money (unless you want to) because other hand held palm devices will soon hit the market such as the cassiopeia. which I believe is a better deal than the palm because it will eventually have expandable memory where as the palm will not. This is a note to serious shoppers. If you want to buy it for fun... It's a great deal.... you can read books on it play games... all the necessities of Life!

Summary: Just What I expected
Review: I purchased the Palm Vx 30 days ago. It has completely replaced my daytimer (which I had used heavily for years)and saves me valuable time. I use Microsoft Outlook as my PIM. With Intellisync the two sync well. I had some problems syncing before installing Intellisync. This is the best work tool I've purchased. I've had zero buyer's remorse.Thanks to all of you who submitted reviews. I read many of them before making a purchase. Palm has hit the mark with this PDA.

Review: The Palm V organizer is THE BEST! I am a student in high school and find MANY MANY MANY uses for it. Everything from, keeping track of my assignments, to tracking my diet, to reading the newspaper! And, don't forget avantgo.com for your Palm, it lets you get several newspapers every morning to read on you palm!

Summary: Handy
Review: I have been using the Palm V for a couple of months now and I must say that it does indeed serve its functions very well. It is extremely compact in size with reasonably emphasised ergonomics. The Hot Sync works flawlessly with speed and the character inputs are not difficult to master. However, I have noticed that the screen tends to get very blurred and 'foggy' whenever this product is being used under approx. 2 degrees Celsius. One would have expected anything like that to happen under only extreme climatic conditions. The rubberised 'frontal flap' supplied with it is redundant as it offers zero protection to the overall integrity of the product, which merely covers the pad area (Good excuse for all Palm V owners to purchase an alternative cover). This product will stay on despite the advent of new OS palm-based counterparts w/ alternative memory expansion, as most (general) users will deem that facility redundant. With its main unit, flap & (separate) hard casing being manufactured in Malaysia, India & China respectively, one can deduce that efficient & cost-effective production has helped contribute to 3Com's global market.

Summary: Worth Twice The Price!
Review: My Palm V has worked flawlessly since my purchase in September. The device is very well-made and is the only electronic device I've purchased recently that fully delivered on its promise. On a Windows 98 laptop, the synchronization worked flawlessly the first time out-of-the-box and every time since. I have also successfully (i.e. without glitch) upgraded the OS so that the HotSynch is faster. I don't normally rave, but my Palm V is everything I expected and more. I have found it to be both intuitive and reliable. It is rugged (I have dropped it on concrete, and it has been rained on countless time, albeit briefly) and very easy to use. I had initial concerns about the amount of memory, but those concerns have been allayed. In addition to all the addresses and appointments of a busy MBA student, every day I download: auto.com, Bloomberg, Business Week, Fodor's (Chicago), ExploreZone, The Financial Times, Hoover's IPO Update, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and TheStreet.com. And I still have more than 30% of my memory available.

Summary: Hot Sync total failure (support disappointing)
Review: Out of the box expectations were high, product very pretty, nice to hold. Unfortunately, the hotsync didn't work (no user), customer support said it was a known problem and that a developer would call back, they never did. I tried e-mail support which began a long trail of "you need this upgrade" and "this extra piece of software at a new version", all tried and all failed. I gave up and returned the product. Very disappointed. I believe that the product line has now become so diverse (new color III also) and moving so fast that perhaps stability should be their next focus.
