Summary: Disappointing product
Review: It never failed that when I went to use this device, the batteries were dead. I'd have to replace them and then learn that my data was all gone. Very, very frustrating. After about the fourth time I turned it off, and haven't used it for months. What a waste. I can't believe this product made it to market. Also, the few times I was able to access some Web clippings, I was not impressed with the information available or the presentation of what was being displayed. These would be hard to give away.

Summary: What the Palm VII should have been
Review: The 8 Mb of memory the VIIx has is what it needed in the first place. Now you can load all of those games and non-wireless apps you had to pass on with the VII. The integration is a little tighter in Palm OS 3.5, but a lot of people won't be happy with this until (1) the screen improves from four shades of gray (yes, I am envious of the IIIc) and (2) the modem speed improves.The Qualcomm PD100 tried to overcome the speed (and coverage issue) but left you holding a Palm to your ear with a screen just too small to read). And in the meantime, the Palm VII provides an integrated wireless email and fax platform (both with lookup from your address book) which a novice can get out of the box and running in ten minutes or less (try that with a PC). TIPS: go to palmgear.com and download DPWeb browser (or other browser) and go with the unlimited plan if you can afford it. Then you will be able to access nearly any web site, not just those with web clipping applications.

Summary: Palm IIIe upgrade
Review: Ye,Ye,Ye nice toy, not for business though.
1)It eats batery, and it is very very very hungry.
2)I got rechurgable batteries for it, but
you can not regarge it through the Sync tool,
every time you have to charge another set and manualy replace it.
AND once you forgrot to do it in time ALL information is gone,
Yes you can regulary back it up... but you can not trust to this thing any critical info...
In my case I had to redo my workstation due to virus, and
at same time Plams battery expires, so I lost it in both places... No I can't trust my information to this thing anymore. Go for the new once that have flash memory at least.

Summary: OLDER MODEL... BUT STILL A GREAT MACHINE
Review: You need to go to Palm's website and look for the "Coverage Map". I ordered this Palm VIIx and then checked it out on the website to find out that Palm.Net was not availible to me. What [garbage]. I'm glad I didn't get it. I bought the Palm IIIc which is color and phat as anything. Palm.Net is WAY to expensive too. Don't get stuck with this handheld and not be able to use the feature that makes it the bulkiest thing on one hand. You might be sorry.
