Palm IIIx Handheld

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.

While there are...

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...

Pros: Easeability
Cons: No usb

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).

Why I have a Palm IIIx

...

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.

The Palm IIIx is no exception. Released with...

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...
