Summary: 3 is not for me
Review: Palm 3's are not what they are all cracked up to be. Speaking of cracked up, thats what you feel like when you try to synchronize it with your PC or Mac. For a little bit more money, the Palm V or Palm VX are a better choice.

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: I had a PalmPilot Professional that died, so I got the IIIx. I am thoroughly thrilled with it, especially the weighted stylus and the better screen resolution. One suggestion: download the hack to make the backlight normal. Instead of the text being dark against light, the backlight makes the text light against a dark background, which looks a little weird.

Summary: Best product I've bought since my 1st PC
Review: I have been trying to find faults with my IIIX since I bought it three months ago, and still cannot. Every time I think I have found something I don't like I consult the manual and my solution is in black and white. Next thay need to have voice activation so it will type while you talk and I don't have to write while driving. As good as this product is it won't be long.

Summary: The little engine that could
Review: I bought by Palm IIIx on a whim. I figured, "Well, everyone else seems to think they're great." They were right. The Palm IIIx is fantastic. For me, the best features are its address book and the "To Do List." Gone are the little scraps of paper I used to use to keep all my lists of stuff to do. I've been completely neglecting my paper address book ever since I got the IIIx. Between its small size, its ease of use, and its versatility, this Palm is a winner all around. BTW, I highly recommend the O'Reilly PalmPilot guide to go with it. Like all O'Reilly books, this one cuts right to the chase. It makes the IIIx even easier to use.

Summary: Love it so much I'm neglecting my laptop!
Review: I absolutely love my Palm IIIx. Originally, my wife ordered a Handspring Visor for my birthday. Six weeks later, with no indication of when (if ever) the Visor would be shipping, she cancelled it and ordered the Palm IIIx for me instead. I've been playing endless with it since. I find, for example, it's easier to write on the PDA than on paper in a moving car; hence, car rides can be much more productive. Then I found out about downloading games from the Internet. I've been wasting endless amounts of time playing a beloved game from my college days ("Rogue").

Summary: Great toy but needs better batteries
Review: I love it. Great software available. The only drawback I have found is the batteries. 2 AAA batteries are not enough. They learned and the V has lithium batteries. Oh well.

Summary: Pretty good, but so much like a PC
Review: I got mine several days ago and, so far, it works like a champ. Applications like address book, calendar and email are so well designed that you never have to consult the directions for their use. I especially liked the one button link between the Palm and my PC that sychronized files. Palm's operating and character recognition systems work quickly and are easy to learn. It's remarkable how many applications it runs. The only negative is that you have to scrounge the WEB for downloadable application programs like text and image readers. 3Com should have included these in their package.

Summary: very useful but mine malfunctioned within 2 months
Review: Although I love it and found it to be more useful than I had expected when it would not turn on or activiate after two months of use I felt lost, ripped off and up a creek with out a paddle. Would 3com upgrade to the latest model - NO WAY ! Did it take 10 minutes to speak to someone in customer service - count on it. It may be too early for this technology to last and $300 plus for a 2 month day planner will hurt you just like it did me ! You have been warned !

Summary: The BEST!
Review: The PalmIIIx is something that no one can live without. I recieved my palmIIIx on Nov 3rd of 1999 I love it. What I really like is that you can but a small portable keyboard that you can hook up to your palmIIIx and type in the information that you want to put in instead of writing it. This product is fun and easy to use. I love the e-mail. Now I don't have to wait for my desktop to boot up and then sign of to AOL. I get the internet all here with the push of a green button wait two seconds then push on the e-mail and check it. It's so easy to use I love it.

Summary: Do you buy the Palm IIIx or Palm V?
Review: Just wanted to say to anyone who, like me, was not sure whether to buy the new, funkier Palm V or the Palm IIIx.. Just read all of the reviews listed here and your mind will be made up. Palm IIIx is upgradeable, more powerful and less money...ummm...tough choice.
