Pros: VERY CHEAP used, very functional even in 2003, a classic Cons: Looks as cheap as it has become.
I've owned a lot of PDAs over the years, from my first Everex Freestyle WInCE unit (hated it) in 1998 or so, to the iPaq 2215 I recently bought, and then returned, I've simply lost count. From getting rid of that first Everex until last June when I bou ...
Pros: Back then... 4 MB RAM, Flash Memory, clear screen, long battery life Cons: Can't compare with models today
Although this model is difficult to find these days, I'm writing this as part of epinion member naphtalia's milestones write off. Perhaps it's appropriate that I'm writing this while on call in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and that the patients are...
Pros: Price drop to 99.00 and more memory than Palm III Cons: still structural problems that may lead to a break in your display
A few years ago I had owned a Palm III. When I first bought it, I thought it was great. Here I had my Rolodex, and calendar at my fingertips where ever I went. That euphoria lasted all of two months as I smashed the glass display on two consecutive...
Pros: Palm OS, Price, 4MB Memory, Upgradeable Cons: Monochrome Screen, Heavy Users May Need 8MB of Memory
This is not a new Palm but still one of the best available. It is also a relative bargain nowadays if you shop for it. I did a simple internet search on one of the shopping sites and found prices ranging from $200 to $300.
Pros: Easy to use with lots of features, very portable Cons: None
It used to be, that when you would mention organizers, Filofaxes and Day Runners would come to mind. Now that we are in the digital and high tech day and age, the "old" paper organizers are out and electronic organizers, known as person data...
Pros: Simple, Small, and Fun! Cons: Getting used to not reaching for paper and pen
I purchased the Palm IIIx earlier this year, because I wanted some way to store all my little pieces of information in one place. To tell you the truth, I also wanted a little gadget to play with. So far it has met both of these needs. Anyone who needs...
Pros: nicely made, upgradable to 8 MB, OS upgradable, nice stylus/flip cover Cons: only 4 MB, non-recahrable batteries, IIIxe is only $50 more
There was a time when the Palm IIIx was among the best PDAs out there. In the PDA world of smaller, faster, more memory, there are many better alternatives, unless cost for you is the key factor. Don't get me wrong, the IIIx is great. However, the...
Pros: Addictive, flexible, durable, easy to use Cons: Eats batteries for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
My company standardizes everything, and all of our PDA's are Palms. We've got about 150 people of varying technological skill levels using them on a regular basis, synching them daily with our MS Exchange. Miraculously, we rarely have to make a support...
This Palm is much like the rest of the Palm family but has the most memory available (that I know of). My Father bought one this last month and he was able to get it up and running in a matter of moments. This is from a guy who is very tech challenged......
Pros: 4 MB of memory, durable, disposable batteries Cons: Not quite as stylish looking as other models and a bit thick
I waited quite a while to write this Epinion. The reasons being is that every product has a honey-moon period (where opinions can be skewed) and then the rest of its life (where reality lies).
Pros: Simple to use ;sleek; same OS as V Cons: Can upgrade to V but with higher costs
I bought the PalmIIIx specifically as an organizer but it has turned into much more than that. Of course, there are the basic functions that are installed on the Palm OS:Address book, Date Book, Notepad, Calc...etc.
But these are pretty basic. ...
Pros: Fast, small and mobile. Cons: IPeople always want to play with it.
I have had the Palm IIIx for almost a year. My wife bought it for me for Christmas last year. I told her I wanted an electronic organizer just to keep phone numbers and small notes. The Palm has become much more to me than an electronic phonebook. It is...
Pros: Just the right size memory. Its as handy as any other Palm but not as expensive. Its all you ever need (who needs color?) Cons: too bulky compared to the V series. Resets a lot , but then again most palms do.
Palm has the sensibility, or should I say the marketing know-how to release Palm pilots with different specs, uncapable of upgrades, so as to create a specific model for a specific type of person.
Pros: A great Palm for beginners that's not too expensive (comparatively that is.) Cons: Very expensive to repair
I don't think I could do without this little baby anymore. That's really a good thing though. I have had it now for about 3 months and it has helped me to get more done and keep my appointments better than any organizer I've ever tried to use. One...
Pros: Easy to use,compact,& keeps you organized Cons: Just be careful with it-not a toy and pricey
My husband recently got a Palm IIIx for work. I liked it so much that I asked him to get my one too. I really love it... It keeps me very organized at work. I can keep track of all my appointments and it fits easily into my pocketbook, coat or pants...
Pros: Small, compact, and easy to use. Cons: The writing language isn't easy. It eats batteries like sugar candy.
Here's what I use my Palm Pilot IIIx for:
Work:
I use it to sync with Lotus Notes from home and on business trips. It's better than carrying a laptop around! I just plug in the modem and there's my mail!
Pros: Low cost. Cons: Not enough memory. Not very sturdy.
After using the original Palm Pilot for several years, I upgraded to the Palm IIIx. It was a great upgrade since it boosted my memory to 4 MB. At first, 4 MB seemed plenty. But if anyone tries to tell you that 4 MB is enough, they're either kidding...
Pros: it's a full-featured Palm that's affordable Cons: bigger
Since there are a million favorable reviews of the Palm, I thought I would focus on why I think is the right device for some of you. The Palm IIIx is, of course, better with the 8Meg memory plugged in. (see Palm IIIxe). For the most part, if you want...
Pros: Integration w/ Microsoft, Size, Weight, Features Cons: Backlight isn't the best
If you are in the market for one of these handhelds, consider the Palm IIIx first.
The Palm IIIx's memory (4 MB) is double the Palm III (and the Palm V), and is now located on the motherboard, not a separate card. This leaves room for an...
Probably the most useful electronic gadget I've got, besides my laptop, and best of all, the two work together. I can be gadget-resistant, but our office had reached a point where scheduling complexity was starting to overtake us. The Palm IIIx solves...
3Com's Palm Computing division announced the availability of two new models of the tremendously successful Palm hand-held device. But Palm users need not worry: 3Com has not abandoned the line's vaunted simplicity and access to third-party...
Pros: Size,value,convenience Cons: store locations
Hello, I would like to impress upon those who read this message the importance of remembering,organizing and availability.My name is Joseph L.and sometime...
Pros: 4 megs of memory, Flash ROM, Amazing price Cons: Some people report a streaming effect, No rechargeable battery
What did I ever do without my PalmIIIx? Ah yes I remember, I used the palm that God gave me. While this system of skin and ink was fantastic for jotting down little reminders such as goto school, pick up dinner, breath, it was limited in its memory...
Pros: Good hardware, back lighting, light, fast Cons: It doesn't sync up with my life very well
This is not a review about the IIIx hardware, except so
muchas to say that it's much better hardware than the
old first-generation Palm that I had that eventually gave
up the ghost after the screen cracked. I like the visor,
the...
Pros: Small, powerful, tons of applications Cons: It can't cook
I can't say enough good things about the IIIx. My first PDA was the SONY MagicLink. It was a great unit but pricey and big by today's standards. With my IIIx (which I affectionately refer to as "my brain") I can track everything that I usually...
Pros: Cheap for its qualities, Reliable Cons: May take a day or two to learn
The PDA organizers are one of the greatest of recent innovations. For the organized person, this is a way of getting rid of calendars, to do lists, and pieces of paper with memos on them. For the unorganized, this helps one to get organized....
Pros: Memory, cost, Palm OS, Great Functionality Cons: Size
You want to buy a Palm, but don't know which one. Do you get the V or the IIIx? I have owned both a III and a V, get the V because size really does matter.
I wrote a review of the V (see my review entitled "Axioms of Handhelds" at
This functions very well. The hotsync is so simple child could use it. Its as simple as pushing a simple button. This makes data transfer to your computer simple. Backing up is also very simple. The Desktop manager program that is used to store your...
Pros: Expanded memory, infrared, still light and portable Cons: Batteries, memo pad space, etc.
The reality of the Palm Pilot series of products is that you can really get by with the cheapest of all models. Until quite recently, I used the original Palm Pilot, so old that it had a US Robotics logo on it. Yes, I was beginning to max out on my 500...
Pros: does things well that humans do badly Cons: best to keep a couple of batteries at close hand
I'm useless with diaries and address books. I miss appointments, and accumulate phone numbers on post-its and backs of envelopes. I'm human. So, when I lost another stack of addresses, I bought a Palm. It works, because it delivers on its promises. ...
Pros: Twice the memory of Palm III, Improved LCD screen over Palm III, Palm OS devices common Cons: Expensive, may be one-upped by Handspring Visor Deluxe
The 3Com Palm IIIx is one of the best PDAs on the market. It has twice the memory of the Palm IIIe, more expandability options are available, and the LCD screen is improved.
Having owned one of these devices, I am very pleased with it. The...
Pros: Holds everything, good price Cons: Not internet-accessible, but so what
I was given money from my parents to purchase a PDA for Christmas. Therefore, I got to research which products I was interested in, and chose from there.
I wanted a PDA because I was tired of dragging around my huge leather day planner. I...
Pros: The best personal organizational tool ever Cons: Costs more post its
As a techy computer programmer, I have tried lots of the different gadgets out there from voice recorders to franklin planners. For the last 3 years I have been a franklin person, constantly synching my computer driven scheduler, tasks, and notes with...
Pros: Disposable batteries, long-range infrared, compatable design Cons: Are you kidding me? There are none. :-)
This has got to be the best Palm Pilot 3Com has put out to date.
To begin, 3Com & more 3rd party companies have made so many great things for this bad boy because of the simple fact that the design of the unit itself has been around for so long,...
Pros: syncronized, portable information, small package, good price Cons: 4MB "just adequate", lesser end of what's available in palm computing
The Palm IIIx finally reached a value level for me in February 2000. The price was dropped to $150 and for that money I received what I considered to be mature palm computing features. The Palm IIIx adds value to my life through syncronization of my...
Pros: Twice as much memory as the Palm III Cons: Not as much memory as the Palm VII
I just received this item for Christmas and I love it! Twice as much memory as the III but not the price of the VII. I love being able to upload and download from my PC to it...so far everything has gone without a hitch. And there are TONS of...
Screen clarity is very good. Ability to adjust font size for differnet applications. Hot sync easy to use, never crashes. Multiple software applications available, easy to download and install. Hardcover that comes with Palm IIIx acts as good screen...
Pros: Does the job Cons: Marginal mechanical construction, display back light.
I've had my IIIx for over two years. I use the address book and organizer, and a few games. It isn't that good for note taking (in real time). After two years of practice, character input is still tedious.
Pros: Powerful and cheap, lots of add ons Cons: Not as sexy as the Palm V
If you buy a PDA you have to buy one that runs Palm OS. Why? First it is the easiest and best system out there but more importantly it is the gold standard with close to 70% of all PDAs sold running Palm OS. This means there are hundreds of supplies...
Pros: Ease of use. Lot's of memory. Very helpful Cons: Price.. It's not as pretty as the Palm V
I am a high school student. You'd think I wouldn't need a palm pilot, but then again, I am the most disorganized person ever. The Palm IIIx is a fantastic help to me. It's great. The applications built in (Date Book o Address Book o Mail o To Do List o...
I got my Palm IIIX in August and now can't do without it. Originally I had reservations about it's usefullness, but now use it for work, shopping lists, travel directions, memos, etc. I learned all the basic functions in about 1 hour, without reading the...
Pros: Tons of applications, unearthly-long battery life, perfect integration with your desktop computer, compactness, reliability. Better things are coming out with the same OS, but that means the IIIx is getting cheaper and cheaper, and no less remarkable. Cons: No color, not for memory-hogs, soon to be beaten out by better devices on the same platform.
Ever since I bought my PalmIIIx, six months ago, I've been a Palm Evangelist. I love the thing. I bought it after reading a million users' descriptions of all the things it has done for their lives. I've never been an organized person, and suddenly...
Pros: Large memory capacity, hard case, bright screen Cons: Not Windows capable
The Palm IIIx is an invaluable time management tool and my constant companion. Having used the Palm Pro and the Palm III previously, I purchased the IIIx because of its large memory (4MB) and the useful features of the Palm III series, including a handy...
Pros: Small, well designed, easy synchronization Cons: Irritating missing features in some applications
I had previously owned two other PDAs, an HP 200LX and a Compaq WindowsCE machine. Neither of them managed to make themselves part of my routine, or to prove themselves worthy of replacing my paper organizer. Thus, it took me a long time to break down...
Pros: Simple, versatile, zillions of applications Cons: Can't think of any!
I highly recommend the IIIx to help you get organized, whether you are in business, a student, or are running a busy household. I am a Palm-devotee; I upgraded from the Professional model (with 2MB beaming upgrade). Before buying my Palms I checked out...
Pros: easy to use; handy; Cons: may not be advanced enough if you want true internet capability;
I have been using the Palm IIIx for a year and have found it worth the investment. However, there are caveats. If you are not accustomed to electronic scheduling/calendar use, you may find it harder to adjust to using any electronic organizer. I had...
Pros: Top of the line for III series Cons: It'll be a tight fit in your shirt pocket
Since palm pilots fall into the category of 'luxurious gadgetry', when my wife requested one for X-mas, I spent a bit of time looking for a retailer that let these go at a reasonable price. Here are the web sites and strategies I found most useful: ...
Pros: Application availability, Expandable, good screen, lots of RAM Cons: No USB
This device has been a life saver for me. Before I bought my Palm IIIx, I heard many people who said things like "I don't know how I lived on a day-to-day basis without it." I couldn't understand these statements before. Now that I've had my...
Pros: Easy to learn, matches all my outfits :). Cons: Color would be nice, but I am willing to wait for the technology to evolve.
Step aside Messrs. Covey, Franklin (and even Tommy). The Palm IIIx wearer shouts: "I AM connected! My reach extends beyond what you can see or imagine. Embracing the cutting edge and using it to my advantage is the norm for me." ...
Pros: Enough Memory, OS upgradeable, All around good structure. Cons: Memory and slow MHZ to begin with.
This is simply the best pda out there. Let me start by saying that this was my very first PDA about four-five years ago when my father brought it home from the BHC center where I live (a homeless center where he works) and I loved it since (it ...
Pros: Easy to use, convenient Cons: Limited memory for what you pay
If you are new to the world of PDAs, the Palm IIIx is a great place to start. With 4MB of RAM, you have plenty of room to store all your Calendar, Contact, and Memo items, plus lots of games and other software you can find for free on the...
Pros: Lots of memory, small and portable, many uses. Cons: Batteries die kinda quick.
I bought this PalmIIIx to keep track of my schedule, as well as my phone numbers, memo's, ect. After having it for a month or so I found out it has HUNDREDS of other uses. This palm device can do almost anything you would want it to do as far as...
Pros: Suprising how useful this thing really is Cons: Once you start using it you never want to go anywhere without it
I received my Palm as a gift. When my wife gave it to me I thought 'this is cool, but what am I really going do with it'?
It didn't take long before I realized how useful this thing really is. The preinstalled datebook, address book and memo pad...
I sell real estate and one of my biggest problems has been time management. I knew if I was to purchase a PDA, it would help my business.
So I went on the search for the best buy. After a while I thought it would be better if I purchased a...
Pros: Small, lightweight, durable, long battery life, Lifesaver Cons: Some Graffiti letters are too similar and the device gets confused. Otherwise, this PDA is like a shark: a perfectly evolved specimen
I was lucky enough to get my Palm Pilot through my company, Egreetings.com.
Setting up was easy. Idiot-proof instructions meant I was on my way with my new toy within about ten minutes. I had mastered the short hand language Palm utilizes...
Pros: Intuitive Interface, Nice Feature Set, Handy Gadget Cons: Makes You Seem Geekish (if that bothers you)
I've been using the IIIx for about three months now and don't know how I could live without it. I used to have a Palm Pro for about two years until I dropped it and cracked the screen. That was the excuse I was looking for to upgrade. Compared to the...
Pros: Low cost, great assistant to travel with, user friendly Cons: only 4 mb capacity, no Active Matrix Color Display
This Palm Pilot has much going for it...Including: Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, E-mail, Expense, Calculator, as well as Microsoft Outlook Links included. AAA batteries are required, good news, AAA batteries are universal. Easy to find...
Pros: Great programs, easy to use, good interface, more than enough memory Cons: Pricey, have to learn the handwriting
About June of 1999 I was looking for something that would function as a date keeper, expense book, and simple memo pad. Then I found the Palm IIIx. Yes, it was pricey, it didn't have color, and I had to learn a new way of writing. What it had outweighed...
Pros: Memory, Power, Cheaper than V Cons: Batteries required, Not SEXY
Read my review on the IIIe to learn why the IIIx is probably the better choice of the two models! For a minimal price difference you get twice the memory, a conduit to synch with Outlook, the promise of expanding the memory, and a small "x"...
Pros: Light, Efficient Cons: Limited storage and speed compared to laptop
I purchased my Palm IIIx as an alternative to lugging around my laptop. I travel widely throughout the state and as a commuter and carrying my laptop was straining my shoulder. Most of the time the Personal Information Management and Note-Taking...
Pros: Inexpensive alternative to Vx Cons: Only works for 6-8 months
I chose my first Palm over two years ago. The IIIx although exciting at first, was a disappointment over time (I currently am very happy with the Vx). For normal use, carrying the Palm III in my pants pocket proved to damage the screen, leaving it...
Pros: easy to use, faster than WinCE systems Cons: bulky, difficult to read the screen sometimes
Hi,
I bought this three weeks ago from Amazon.com. I have a friend who has a Palm V. I played around with it, and found it rather useful. It's light and easy to carry. But Palm V is very expensive, around $250, and oddly has only 2MB of memory....
Pros: Small form factor, speed, simplicity of use Cons: Grafitti, Dull
First, let me give you a history of my PDA use. I started out with an Apple Newton MessagePad 120, then 130, then MP2000. I now use a Palm IIIx. The IIIx is a very functional little PDA. It has the important features a PDA should have, simplicity, speed,...
Pros: definitely outweigh the cons, clear screen, adaptable, convenient, small and light, easy software, am able to run and use on Windows 2000 without any problems, and has enough memory to store any information needed. Cons: battery life can be a little short but well worth the organization the device brings.
The Palm IIIx was a great addition to my lifestyle, allowing me to keep track of important dates with it's alarm feature and the storing of phone numbers, ranging from family and friends to business contacts. It has served it's purpose and has enough...
Pros: weight, battery life, free software, ease-of-use, intuitivity, general coolness Cons: screen glare (the only thing I could come up with)
After months of deliberating "will I or won't I use it?" I finally broke down and bought a Palm IIIx. I'm so glad I did. I've been using it non-stop, plugging everything in my life into it. Sure the WinCE devices are more flashy, but they are...
Pros: Good memory level (can upgrade), easy to use, lots of software Cons: a bit bulky, need to keep AAA batteries around
I got the Palm IIIx originally for my wife, but she decided she liked the look of the PalmV better, so I got her one of those and kept the III for myself.
It has proved to be a very useful tool, keeping track of my daily schedule -- I can...
Pros: small, beeps, third party games Cons: tiny screen, mediocre applications, no personality
When I bought the Palm IIIx, I thought it was the best thing since electricity was discovered. After a number of months, I'm beginning to doubt the value in the device at all.
I'm no luddite, I work on the net, in fact. And the Palm IIIx was,...
Pros: Long battery life, easy to use Cons: grayscale screen
Who would have thought that this small marvel of digital gadget would be sitting in my shirt pocket wherever I go. I received the IIIx as a gift from my wife on my birthday. I was desperately in need of an organizer.
I had all of my Names/Addresses...
Pros: 4MB MEMORY, INFA RED LINK, UPGRADEABLE, SHARP CLEAR SCREEN Cons: INVERTED SCREEN DOES NOT WORK TOO WELL IN BRIGHTER THAN VERY DIM LIGHT
Although the palm IIIx is not as strong as its bigger, more expensive brothers, the palm V and the palm VII, it certainly packs a bang for the buck. This palm is between the featureless little organizers and the huge monster pda's that cost a small...
Pros: Lots of software, stable, great battery life. Cons: The built in software could use a little tweaking.
The Palm IIIx has been by companion for the last five and a half months. As an organizer it has been outstanding, I have never been they type to use a day planner, but this little gadget has barley left my side. Hardware wise, the screen is very clear...
Pros: price, ease of use, lots of software for the platform Cons: limited upgradeability, low batttery life with backlit display
I purchased my Plam IIIx as a birthday gift for myself last year, and it has been a trusted companion ever since. I think it is sort of useless to compete with other opinions on the unit, so I will just highlight the ways that I use my Palm. It's been...
The Palm IIIx carries on the tradition of the attractive and popular Palm line of PDAs. With its 4MB memory, this connected organizer is rated to hold 12,000 addresses, 5 years of appointments, 3,000 to-do items, 3,000 memos, and 400 e-mail messages. The...
Pros: Good Memory, good price, good programs Cons: no color background, easily scratch-able screen
I am a student at Georgetown University and this PDA is a very good object to have if you're busy or forgetful. It stores a remarkable amount of information, it has a multitude of programs, and it is good for anyone. I would suggest getting a GoType...
Pros: Expandability is great Cons: Lacks in processing speed.
I purchased the Palm IIIx about 5 months ago and have not regretted it yet. Although this model does not contain certain features like a color screen, it still has the capability and expandability of the higher versions. The Palm IIIx comes with...
Pros: Great entry PDA Cons: The III series is becoming a thing of the past.
I bought a Palm IIIx about a year ago. And I loved it! What a phenomenal device these PDAs were. I had tried to use one years ago and found it to be obtuse, difficult, and much more of a hindrance than help. I quickly returned to my Franklin and...
Pros: Great at collecting all your information Cons: Documents have no fonts
The Palm IIIx is a fantastic, easy to use personal assistant
Great points
It almost instantaneously sorted out all the bits of information that I generally need close at hand, including phone numbers, PIN numbers, Mobile phone...
In choosing between the IIIx and the V, I was fortunate to have two different friends, one owning each. The only real differences are the size and power options (batteries). And, of course, price.
On size, the V is certainly smaller, though needs to...
Pros: Get Organized, data at you fingertips Cons: Don't sit on it
This device has drastically changed my life. I used to miss meetings, birthdays and appointments. Basically, whenever I think of something that I should be doing I add it to the Palm list. I especially like the Date Book feature. It allows you to...
Pros: Sturdy, more memory Cons: Not as sleek as the Palm V
I have had occasion to use the various Palm devices at work and needless to say, I love the Palm IIIx the best. It is my trusted workhorse and comes with ample memory to help me use it very productively. The Palm IIIx improves upon the original Palm III...
Pros: stable OS , good software Cons: can't think of any
I bought the Palm IIIx over the other PDAs because of its bang for the buck. I did not need all the features of the Palm V or VII. From what I understand the wireless stuff doesn't work all that well anyway. But anyway, I have since downloaded about 25%...
Pros: size, ease of use, cradle Cons: small screen, graffiti input scheme
I'm convinced that the docking cradle is what made the Palm successful. On it, the unit looks so ... regal. It proudly proclaims its importance, while offering an easy way to back up its contents and load information and programs.
A very versatile device. When I picked up my first Palm Pilot over two years ago, it changed my life. I had previously refused to carry a daytimer due to its size and therefore my appointment keeping and contact list were all kept on sheets of paper...
Pros: great screen, good prices to be found, good upgrades possible Cons: not too many upgrades out for it yet, no software specifially for its processor yet
Recently I graduated high school, and being a highly unorganized guy, I decided to make it at Stanford I would have to shape up, or yeah yeah you know. Anyways, I looked into the handheld PDA market and ended up buying the Palm IIIx after both my...
Hello. The reason why I purchased this product is because first of all when i got it, it was the best out their. Another reason is because my friends and used to switch off taking notes and then beam it to each other. If you are a trouble maker it is a...
Pros: price, durable Cons: more memory never hurts
I use the palm primarily for keeping track of my schedule, phone book, and note pad. It has proven MOST useful because of the programs I have been able to add to it. It's like a computer that is only as useful as the programs you put on it. Stick with...
Pros: easy-to-use and able to be upgraded Cons: screen difficult to read in some lighting conditions
After much research and analysis of the products available on the market and the needs of my business - sales and keeping track of hundreds of prospects and customers - I chose the Palm IIIx because of its features and because it has the largest memory...
Screen clarity is very good. Ability to adjust font size for differnet applications. Hot sync easy to use, never crashes. Multiple software applications available, easy to download and install. Hardcover that comes with Palm IIIx acts as good...
Pros: Small, lots of memory, good battery life, easy to use Cons: Cant let it freeze or sit in the sun
My wife got one of these for a graduation gift, and I, being a gadget lover, had to play with it first. I am not the type that keeps one of those planner books to keep track of appointments or birthdays, mainly because I don’t have the type of job that...
Pros: Keeps things in hands reach Cons: Display is light at times
The PalmIIIx is a great help in a business person's life. Keeping their e-mail handy and being able to write a response even when away from the office. Also you can reference your e-mails when in a meeting without bringing any paper. This can be great...
Pros: Small, Cool-looking, Invaluable Organization tool Cons: Delicate. It can't be dropped.
The Palm IIIx has been an invaluable tool for me. I got it because I love gadgets just like this, but its datebook, address, and memo capabilities are unbeatable.. Never miss another birthday, anniversary, or meeting. Set tasks, put an alarm on it,...
Pros: Ease of use. Customizable with downloadable software. Peace of mind being able to back up information Cons: Gray-scale screen. A little bulky.
Living the high-pressured 90's lifestyle, I had grown addicted to my Franklin organizer. Between work, friends, family and hobbies, I was constantly traveling and always going to yet another meeting.
Pros: Easy to use; reliable; highly functional and practical Cons: None
I have been using a Palm 3x for 3 months. Let me tell you it is GREAT; the gadget far exceeded my expectations. I originally bought the Palm in order to load the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Evidence, so that could lug less...
Pros: Simple design, small, low cost, uses AAA batteries Cons: B/W, serial cable for sync
I've had my Palm IIIx for 2 years and it still works well, The Palm IIIx (now suceeded by newer models) is a fine product. This model does not have wireless capabilities built-in. You would have to buy a 3rd party wireless modem for this feature. The 4mb...
Pros: Everything Cons: Small screen, Only Black+White
This is one of the best palm pilots it is inexpensive yet still has lots of memory. Good for everybody. WARNING put batteries back in quickly or risk loss of device
I purchased this product, Palm IIIx a year ago, off Ebay for a great price. I felt that this was the best value for the average user. Keeps more than enough storage space for names and dates. I currently have 10 games on mine with more than 80% space...
Pros: good old original Cons: not enough memory for large programs, black and white
I received a Palm IIIx for Christmas almost a year ago, and I can't describe how much it has become a part of my everyday life since. Now I know what a lot of other people are saying, it is not powerful enough. I agree there are other models on the...
I was in desperate need of organizing my phone book and keeping track of my appointments. One thing I was recommended to buy was the Palm IIIx. Ever since I got it, I loved it. It comes with many applications to meet your basic needs, but you can also...
As my need to keep more detailed records increased, carrying my DayTimer was becoming more of a chore. After considerable online research, I narrowed it down to the Palm's and a model from Casio. The decision was made somewhat more easy by the fact that...
Pros: Small, easy to use, widely supported, readily available, large feature set, long battery life, many 3rd party applications. Cons: No expansion slot.
I have been using my Palm IIIx for 8 days. In that time I have become about 5 times as organized as I was previously. I have managed to keep track of phone numbers I could never easily find before, appointments I always forgot and where my money has gone...
Pros: Small, easy to use, 4 meg memory Cons: none that I could think of
I've had the PalmIIIX for a few months now. I used to use a paper agenda and I was always erasing and changing appointments. Now life is a lot easier to manage. I keep all my appointments as well as my phone book (and a few games) listed in my PalmIIIX....
Pros: Lots of memory; ease of use Cons: No USB connection for IMac users (yet)
This Palm is much like the rest of the Palm family but has the most memory available (that I know of). My Father bought one this last month and he was able to get it up and running in a matter of moments. This is from a guy who is very tech challenged......
Pros: Small and easy to use Cons: Monochrome screen
I have had a Palm for years, when the decision came to buy a new one I checked out all the latest gadgets. Although the CE devices have a lot of features and color screens they are somewhat cumbersome to use at times. The Palm (even with its monochrome...
Pros: PalmOS, compact size, availability of applications Cons: Lousy price, low RAM, no expansion slot, no USB sync?
Like the PalmOS, compact pocket-friendly size, availability of applications, with 4MB or more of RAM? What if you could get 8MB, an expansion slot for memory or interfaces to external devices, and a faster USB sync cradle, for $120 less?
Pros: easy to use, phone # and schedule at your fingertips, games, web sites Cons: frequently needs new batteries, monochrome screen
I have had my Palm for four months now and don't know how I had lived without it. I used to own a Sharp Wizard and the Palm is a million times better. Slim and easy to use, it'll keep phone numbers, expense reports, memos, and schedules all a mere...
The Palm IIIx is a powerful computing tool that can fit in your palm, hence the name “palm.” The palm IIIe may seem to be the same, but is far from it. The x has 4 meg while the e has 2. I really like the Iix because I have a modem and I can get my AOL...
This handy little "toy" is most useful to those who are highly unorganized! It keeps track of everything you could possibly need. I purchased mine for my side job of computer tutoring. I have many clients and this helps me keep them...
Pros: Completeness of applications Cons: Some usability issues
I've had my IIIx for 3 months now and I don't know how I lived without one. I've been able to keep track of my work and personal appointments much easier. Before I'd keep track of my calendar by syncing my work and home version of Outlook, now it's as...
Pros: Information in one place Cons: Lose on data if abused
I have just purchased the Palm IIIX and have found it to be whet I have needed in my busy life to keep my thoughts in order. I looked into
many PDA's and have settled on the Palm brand for several reasons.
The biggest reason is the...
Pros: Easy to use / easy to get apps Cons: Heavy / Screen scratches easily
Can't imagine how I worked before getting one.
It's perfect. Very easy to use and there's a lot
of applications to download. One for each use you imagine.
There's a Excel compatible spreadsheet, Plan Your Route application,
Can't...
Pros: Size, battery life, use-ability Cons: Memorizing graffiti strokes for weird letters like V
I'm not sure how I functioned before getting my Palm IIIx. I did quite a bit of research and got the IIIx based on what I read. Sure, the V is pretty, but way too expensive, and I like being able to just pop fresh batteries into the IIIx instead of...
Pros: Useful, Small Cons: Costly, Limited battery life
The Palm series are very amazing, but do they really live up to their price. So say yes, some say no. With the high capacity storage and overall easy-to-use ability, but there are some pros and cons. Depending on where you buy it and what version you...
Pros: great reliabilty, fast (back then) palm os processor, many compatible palm os applications Cons: poor battery life, no battery = no memory, all data is lost if battery dies
I still have one of these, working at 110%. Great reliabilty. Lacks in many diffent features you see in today's pdas. battery life sucks.
1600mAh Li-ion Battery for Palm IIIx High Quality, high capacity, light weight rechargeable battery. Longer battery life than the original battery that comes with the PDA. No me...
