Palm IIIx Handheld

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: 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: Holds more data than a bushel of index cards.
Cons: Unreliable. Calendar hangs.

After swapping units under warranty several times, I gave up and resigned myself to putting up with a product with a defective design.

The calendar fails to roll over at midnight under certain conditions, and may do so for many days in...

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: 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: Palm brand, 4 Megs, upgradable, Low price, easy to use.
Cons: Monochrome Screen, 4 Megs is not enough memory.

I have used my palm IIIx for a year or two now, and within the last few months I changed over to the Palm IIIxe.

The palm IIIx was a great palm for me, but the IIIxe was better and for about the same price. Here is why it is better... ...

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: 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...

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.

I've had to disassemble it several...

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: Faily cheap. Wonderfull OS.
Cons: Short on memory

If you're looking for an easy way to *final* get some control back in your life :-). You've found it.

The Palm IIIx is easy to use and can handle your everyday need for adresses, e-mail, memos, and even has room for lots of games and e-books....

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: memory
Cons: outdated with Palm IIIxe

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...
