Summary: Palm IIIx rules
Review: I have wanted a Palm Pilot since they came out and being a poorcollege student, I wanted to make sure that I got the best dealpossible. I have had my Palm IIIx for about a month and I can say that I am quite pleased with it. There are a few flaws, but I will present the pros and cons of purchasing a Palm IIIx. Please email me with any questions.Pros: -There is an abundance of software out there and several sites. More software is coming out daily and some of my favs are jot, Traffic, Four.zero, and flash, among others. -You will get a lot of attention, this is a great toy and people are interested in it. -an excellent way to get organized, much more fun than a pad a paper and plus, there are alarms to remind you of important dates. -The handwriting recognition is superb. I once owned a Davinci which has horrible recognition. I would also suggest Jot, which is a program with a more advanced handwriting recognition system. -Customer support is ok, I'm not blown away by it but I can understand because there are a lot of palm users out there. -The price. In my opinion, it is the best value out there. Cons: -yes, you have heard it everywhere. The backlight is pretty weird. But it's not terrible, it does the job -I have had mine crash twice in a month, but luckily only one time did I lose data. There is a "soft" reset which comes in handy -Everyone else says the hotsych is great, but I have had problems with it. I cannot get it to work on my computer, but that may be the exception. -no color display, but hey, I can live without it because it costs hundreds of dollars more. Overall, great product. It's fun and helps me to be more organized. Buy it!

Summary: Handle with Care!
Review: The Palm iii is a great product, and the Palm iiix is definately worth the extra money if you run Outlook on your PC - within days you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. But it is fragile - really fragile. I've dropped my mobile phone on countless occasions, likewise my calculator, and even my lap top once or twice. And they all lived to tell the tale. Drop your Palm once, and you can be looking at a cracked screen and - Wham! $100 replacement fee. What's more, you can be waiting 3-5 days for a replacement to arrive. So if you're anywhere near as clumsy as me - buy a case, and be very careful when you're taking it out
