Summary: Just like a Casio, until you download the right stuff
Review: My first impression was that I had bought a (expensive) Casio organizer... Until I downloaded the software that really makes the difference. Now I can edit MS Word documents either in my Palm or my desktop computer, go everywhere with critical information I had in MS Word format, have a great datebook with appointments and to-dos at a glance, keep my memos encrypted, have an AUDIBLE alarm (one of the flaws to be solved), read the books I want, etc.With the proper software, 5 stars. Without it, just 2 or 3.

Summary: The Palm 3x has changed how I work and travel
Review: It is amazing that something so small and so light weight can do so much. I love my laptop, but the Palm 3X has replaced much of the on-the-road work I do and saves me from lugging my laptop through airports. It syncrhonizes with my desktop and laptop, stores notes, gives quick access to my roladex and with the modem attachment allows me to get my email. I can even put games on the Palm 3X for when I get bored in meetings.I found learning to write graffiti was intuitive and easy but my friends found the keyboard attachment helpful. I have only used the palm for 2 months and am still learning all it can do. The O'Reilly book David Pogue wrote gives clues to all sorts of extra stuff that doesn't come in the manual.

Summary: Excellent with but one exception!
Review: When I first got my IIIx, I adored it. I simply couldn't live without it. All of my appointments were in there, my friends addresses, phone numbers, everything. As soon as I knew of a meeting or doctor's visit, got a new phone number, I would pop it open and enter it. I was in heaven. Then, one day, it wouldn't turn on. I had to replace my batteries - which had been practically brand new and then all information - much of which I'd entered directly onto it and which therefore was not backed up on my home computer - was gone. Since then, my efforts to use it have been disastrous. After HotSyncing all of my data back on, I would turn it on to find the Stylus tutorial - 'Press here, here, here' and so on. For the past several months, I have been unable to use it. Still, it is my frustration and annoyance that prevents me from giving this a higher rating, not the quality of the product, which really is quite good. Like I said, when it worked, it was perfect, and I miss it very much. I'm in the process, actually, of trying to fix it/get it fixed so that I can use it again. It really is a remarkable tool, one that can make it incredibly easy to access enormous amounts of information.

Summary: Good all-around product
Review: I bought the IIIx last Christmas and 3Com has already upgraded it with the IIIxe and the IIIc, the major upgrades being the extra memory for the xe and the color for the c. However, the IIIx still stands on it's own quite well. With 4 mb of memory, it still has lots of room for applications and data. It took a few weeks to get used to using a PDA, but once I did, it has saved me time and time again as I have not once doubled booked an appointment since having this device. Right now it's the lowest cost 3com unit that has the upgradable OS capability, which I think is an important feature. If you have the $50, you might as well move up to the xe and get the extra 4 mb of memory, but if you don't and need a workhorse, there isn't much the more expensive IIIxe will do that the IIIx can do just as well. I'm sold on mine.

Summary: Powerful, small and expandable
Review: This latest incarnation of the Palm III adds memory and the capability to expand, a little. While lacking the sex appeal of the Palm V and the Dick Tracy like abilities of the Palm VII, the IIIx also lacks it's sibling's extravagant price tags. With 4 megs of memory, there is plenty of room for data with enough left over to add some favorite software. The IR port makes it possible to beam data to Palm owning friends and the solid, no frills operating system and software are easy to use and crash free. If I had a complaint, it would be that graffiti is not as intuitive as I would like. It could have something to do with my sloppy writing, but the Palm seems so smart in other ways that I expect it to do better. Still, Graffiti is more than adequate for entering the occasional appointment or business card. This Palm has performed for me as advertised. My life is more organized and I have more valuable information at my fingertips. It is reliable and easy to use.

Summary: It's Dead Jim!
Review: I bought a PalmIIIx about 6 months ago and I have been very dissapointed. Don't get me wrong... in principle the ability to store and beam addresses & business cards, manage my calander, securely store network passwords is great! When the unit was working I loved it. However, after about three months of ownership, I began loosing all my data at random internvals, forcing me to revert back to my last sync with my computer. I would turn the unit on and all my data was gone... evern with fresh batteries. Palm was not able to diaganise the problem... just telling me to re-set it again... duh. The last time this happened the unit went completely dead. It could be that I just had a bad unit. However, I would advise other Palm purchacers not to store any critical data on the unit. As for me, I would not buy another Palm product.

Summary: palm 3x is great
Review: I have owned a Palm IIIx for over a year. I cannot live without it. But, it has it share of problems. Lines have appeared on the screen but were cleared up with a hard reset. I have had to replace the unit once (free of charge). It is fragile. My screen broke (but I have not lost any data) when it hit my cell phone in my purse. I am buying a protector for it. I have it hooked to Aventgo and read the Wall Street Journal and NY Times daily. I recommend it to anyone.
