It's been a long time since I had this "little toy" from Palm, and besides its high price, I never thought it was a mistake to buy it. For me it was a very usefull gadget, mainly at work. I recognize that when I bought this Palm it was a whim, but I gave it a lot of usage. The apllication that I used more was the Agenda. Every time I had a meeting I wrote it down in my Palm with an alarm and I never forgot anything. I used to use a paper agenda but I always forgot to see it, so It was'n usefull to me. From this time with the Palm alarms this didn't happen. Other apllications that came with the Palm and were very usefull to me, ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Palm V for about 4 months now and it just continues to be of more and more use I use mine for e-mail storage, diary appointments, addresses and contact info mainly. The main problem I have had in the past is that during the course of my work I recieve a huge volume of e-mail and requests for meetings etc. I was continually doubling up on meetings and forgetting to reply to e-mails. Now with my Palm V it is all stored in one handy place and because it is so small and light I can carry it with me everywhere. I no longerforget anything or miss appointments. It enables you to synchronise e-mail and calanders with your PC via the ...  Read the complete review

Once upon a time a long time ago, I worked for 3Com, when they bought US Robotics who owned Palm who made a thing which kept names and addresses and a diary and you could write directly into it. SO I got one for free - A Palm Pilot to be precise. Then I got a Palm III then I got a PalmV, and that's what I've got today. I've been using a Palm device since 1997 when pulling it out on the plane (the Palm that is) caused your neighbours to shuffle uncomfortably in their seats, and squint sideways at what you were up to. Those days are long gone now and PDA's are taken for granted and the old Palm seems, against all the odds, to be staying ...  Read the complete review

As an ex Psion user the PALM came as a gift from the gods. It is truelly pocket sized and never needs new batteries. The look up screen is fast and clear with a range of nifty functions. As a personal organiser it has to be the best on the market place. When you get one, I would strongly recommend downloading software from the palm web site, which will prevent you turning the thing on in your pocket by mistake. Also if you can get the latest operating software 3.5, as it helps in diary view alot. Again downloadable from the palm web site. For those wanting to link in with a PIM such as goldmine, be carefull, it works but only to a fashion. ...  Read the complete review
