Palm Vx Handheld

Pros: Very thin, great battery life, reliable, cheap
Cons: Poor visibility in a dark room, but that's it, really

The Palm Vx has been out for perhaps 10 years. It should have been forgotten along with everything else. Why do we all love it so much? I will tell you: because it will do the job that you want it to do, without any silly frills or gimmicks. No ...

Pros: Very affordable, 8 Mb Memory
Cons: Os 3.5, You cant see the screen in dim light, Not expandable

If you have never owned a palm before or you are looking for a very inexpensive one for a friend you might be looking for the Palm Vx. You will probably be able to fetch one for under $80 now (March 2004 Price). I bought mine for $175 and it was my ...

I recently paid the following for a New Palm Vx:

100.00 for a new Palm Vx on Overstock.com
19.99 for a new keyboard for a Palm Vx on palm.com
3.00 for a hard case for my Palm Vx on half.com
3.00 for a leather case for my Palm on...

Pros: Large Screen, Backlight, 8 MB memory, slim, easy to use
Cons: B&W, low resolution

The Palm Vx model has a lot to offer with a slim and stylish body. It features a large screen that can be read in the dark with the backlight on, but the resolution isn't the best on the screen and it is in black and white, not color. The Vx is very...

Pros: high quality, wonderful product
Cons: none

I spent a lot of time shopping for a PDA in my quest to organize my life and replace my paper planner. In fact reading epinions was part of my research, and there were so many people recommending the palm vx, that I bought it.

This is a great...

Pros: thin, thin, thin!
Cons: power button

I've had my Palm Vx for about 3 years now.

I've replaced the leather flap with a Parallel Designs plastic screen cover, somewhat reminiscent of a star trek tricorder flap in its function, and the original stylus has been replaced by a Pilot...

Pros: Light, compact, rechargeable, plenty of memory, long battery life
Cons: No USB connection

I've been very pleased with my Palm VX. I've owned it for almost a year and it is holding up very well.

One of my favorite features is it's rechargeable lithium ion battery. Theres no need to buy batteries, just recharge it every one or...

Pros: Very stylish, still the best looking PDA around.
Cons: Somewhat dated. iPAQ maybe better.

This is perhaps the best PDA ever made, in terms of looks, functionality, and durability. My friend got it 2 or 3 years ago, when it was just coming out. It was $399 at the time. It dropped to $299 soon afterwards. And it's still selling for around $150....

Pros: Affordable, slim, durable, plenty of RAM, rechargable battery
Cons: No built-in wireless connectivity, flip cover

Design
I really like the way the Vx was designed. As compared to the m100, which was my first Palm, this one is almost twice as slim, so it fits much more easily into my pocket. It is durable, having survived several drops onto hard floors...

Pros: Sleek design, holds enough programs for me, can do almost anything!
Cons: not color, not wireless, not expandable memory, outdated now

I have had this Palm for 4 years now and while I love it and can't live without it I will probably be getting an M515 soon. The only reasons why I will do that is because this model is pretty much outdated now that Palm has come out with color screens,...

Pros: Lightweight design Extremely Thin Internal rechargable battery
Cons: no color screen

I was given the Palm Vx for my graduation present after my senior year of college.

I have used it for about a year now and it has been fantastic! Once you force yourself to use it as a scheduling device, you will wonder how you ever lived...

Pros: Slim form factor, long battery life, quality construction
Cons: difficult to read in some lighting conditions, up button sticks out too much

A few years from now (or maybe even now) we'll look back and say "They don't make PDAs like the old Palm Vx anymore."

I now own a Palm m505 but my old Palm Vx was a better constructed, higher-quality machine. The only design flaw I've found...
