Palm V Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

OK, so the Palm V isn't exactly the hottest new thing on the planet. I've had mine for about eighteen months, and it's still going strong. It's all there - address book, date book, to do list, notepad, calculator. If that isn't enough, hook it up to a PC and you can also download a variety of programs (and ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I don't personally own a 3com Palm 5 organizer but I do have a lot of freinds that own these and I use these alot. With its little pen and touch screen these palm 5 organizers can be invaluable at times when they are needed, like when you need to write small memos, play games, play music or sounds. I've had great fun downloading music ...  Read the complete review

My friend is a bit of a technology freak and he leant me some of his 'toys', one of which was the palm V modem. So sorry i dont know the price of it he would not tell me how much he spent on it... If i find out ill post it as a comment. The modem is compatible with any standard phone line. You can also make wireless connections ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

The really nice thing about my little Palm V is the fact that there's so many websites producing stuff for it. I've been using Palms since the original Pilot, and have my own favourite programs that I use: Keyring, a neat username/password encryption tool, so I don't forget my dooyoo password... Diddlebug, a scribbly note ...  Read the complete review

I got this to enable me to write emails while on the train or tube... Friends were forgetting I existed cos I never replied to their emails due to my busy job but with this, all that has changed. I sync the emails I receive at night, write replies on the tube in the morning and they are sent when I sync with the PC in the evening. As ...  Read the complete review

When I was given a Palm V as a present, my immediate reaction was 'what on earth do I want one of those for'! I started to play around with it and realised that perhaps it could be useful. It has now been over a year since I got it and I wouldn't part with it for anything... it's the old cliche of 'don't know ...  Read the complete review

It's single greatest attribute is the cradle. The fact that it updates with MS Outlook, recharges it's batteries and I always know where to find it (on the way out of the house) make this little device a genuine treasure. The handwriting recognition is competent, the screen is clear, the size is comfortable and the features are useful. ...  Read the complete review

The palm is a lovely PDA, and there is tons of software on the Internet. It is a bit fragile though, and easily dents. The leather cover looks a bit cheap to start with, but you get used to it. The standard OS is great, but I got Silver Screen, which lets you drag and drop apps. In terms of sotware available, this platform is unrivlled - th ...  Read the complete review

I very rarely use my Palm V anymore. Yes, it's fast, looks cool and is nice and small - but I can't really justify having one. I like being able to infra red 'beam' data between other Palm users, and its small enough to carry around with you all the time. On the downside: The 2mb memory is too small - ...  Read the complete review

I really do not know how I coped before my Palm V. It weighs less than six ounces and fits comfortably into a shirt, jacket or trouser pocket. I don't use mine for anything fancy. I use the diary, the address book and memo pad pretty much as I did in my much larger and significantly heavier Franklin Planner. I can update ...  Read the complete review

My god: when I first got my pilot1000 I thought it was wonderful- now I have my palmV I cannot even leave the room without taking it with me. It rules my life- its my watch, diary, notebook, gameboy and mother all in 1! Basically you can get any software you want for it anytime from huge archives such as www.palmgear.com -there are even ...  Read the complete review

the palm 5 is so hot it burns right throught your hands. This baby rocks out your schedule, keeps notes, a drawing or two, connects to your computer and proforms teminal functions. Man, this thing does everything but jump through hoops! I did encounter one minor problem though, the palm V I was testing had trouble catching sync with the PII ...  Read the complete review

I loved my Palm Pilot V. I won it as a prize for a business suggestion. Now the thing is that I didn't, and don't, actually need a Palm V. I have my tiny Economist diary for my day-to-day appointments, and my PC for everything else. I work at home, and have no high-flying executive meetings requiring snazzy ...  Read the complete review

I have had a 3Com Palm V for under 6 months and I am disappointed with it. You can only really buy on of the gadgets if you own a PC as its really just like writing information down from your PC, but this handy feature does that for you. As the price of £250, then your money would be better spent on a Psion series 5 or even series 3c, which ...  Read the complete review

I recently won a Palm V in a competition, and to be honest it's not something I would have gone out and bought....£250 is a lot of money for an organiser. Having now had a play with it I have realised it is much more than an organiser. It connects to your computer via a serial port, bear in mind if you have a modem and a digital camera you ...  Read the complete review

I LOVE my Palm V. My office uses a calendaring program (TimeMatters) that synchs to my Palm, so I have everyone's schedule with me all of the time. I also have our entire phone database with me. In addition to the fabulous work-related applications, I have downloaded Euchre, Black Jack, Tetris, and a few other games. When I need to wind down ...  Read the complete review
