Top Reviews Review created: 04/13/06 by: 5 of 5 people found this review helpful. The Palm VIIx is a great unit for basic tasks. The screen size is well suited for ebook reading, and there are tons of ebooks available in palm reader format. The Palm NET services were discontinued a few years ago, and it would be nice if ebay would include that information in the auto-generated item descriptions, but the units function perfectly well as a standard Palm (like the Palm III, with extended memory) Battery life is great! A pair of AAA batteries will hold up for at least a month, and not having to carry a charger around is always a plus.

Ever since picking this up, I have used it continuously for months, needing it for my crazy work schedule. This thing easily keeps track of schedules, allows me to take notes, and write down song lyrics and always have that handy caluclator we all need to use from time to time and never have on us! I have yet to run out of memory on it for schedules and notes. The battery lasts quite a while, with 2 convenient slots for AAA batteries, No Special Battery needed! I used Rechargables on mine and loved it. The Hotsync cradle attaches to a serial port on your computer, I never really had to use mine as I had no need to transport data to my computer, but it can be really useful to someone who takes a lot more notes than I do. This device would be great for a person with a crazy schedule or college student! It may be old technology now, but it sure is technology that continues to prove itself useful despite it's age!

DO NOT BUY THE NEWER M SERIES ONES, THEY WILL BREAK AND GIVE DIGITIZER PROBLEMS!!!! The older III and VII series pda's are rock solid and will give you years of trouble free operation. Get some screen protectors, some rechargable AAA NIMH batteries and you are set for years to come. Also, place a smudge of oil on the contacts where it seats in the cradle every month or so, and I guarantee you that there is a good chance that this pda will outlive you! This thing is damn good at what it does - organize your life. It's great for me, cause I have big hands, and the screen is big enough to easily read text, not like the newer palm's which are like toys. The only down side, which isn't even an issue for me, is that it's a little big and heavy to try and keep in your shirt pocket during the day. Otherwize, I love these things and cannot imagine life without them. I've even bought a spare one for the years to come :) Sean Review ID: 10000000005057998 Was this review helpful?

While it is as useful it has some features which enhance it, but it lacks the rechargeable battery of the Palm III. Otherwise it performs all the functions for which I bought it quite well.

I don't think I have any other dislikes about this product. Review ID: 10000000010831720 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 09/15/08 by: It works for me to keep track of all of the schedules that my family has. It also helps me when I need to find a phone # or address quickly. I wish it was more user friendly with Vista but thats not a big issue. Review ID: 10000000008733367 Was this review helpful?
