PALM T/X HANDHELD BLUETOOTH

from: Palm

October 12, 2005
It worked perfectly for just over 12 months then the screen started to loose contrast on start-up and became very 'pale'. This could be rectified by slightly flexing the case and was an intermittent but only a slightly annoying feature.
However, about 18 months after purchase the screen 'flipped' 180 degrees and it was impossible to access data as the underlying touch technology remained in its original position. I did all the resets etc but still no joy. Contacted Palm and seems the 'digitaliser' is to blame and will cost £110 to replace.
Lets do the maths £180 for original T|X plus £110 repair = £290 which over 18 months = approx £16 per month ...
Seems like it would be good money after bad.

Palm Z22 - Handheld PDA

from: Palm

October 12, 2005
I've had this device for a few weeks now and have only just started reading the manual. It really is extremely easy to get up and running with this. I bought it as replacement for my aging Sharp organiser with keyboard, and was worried that having to use a stylus was going to be much slower and more fiddly. But it's fine - you get used to it really quickly and the space saved by not having the keyboard is fantastic.

There were a few things that I bemoaned not having - mainly preferences and settings - which I accepted because of the price and size. And then I read the manual - and this opened up another new world with this little gem! You can tweak nearly everything - you can tailor things to remind you in exactly the way you want to be reminded, ... Read More:

Palm Centro Smartphone

from: Palm

February 24, 2008
I've only had my Centro for three days but I'm so pleased with it that I feel compelled to write a review right now and maybe add another one at a later date.
I'll admit that it may not be as flashy nor able to brag about the size of its mega pixel as some of the smartphones on offer but what it lacks in show it more than makes up for in ability and ease of use. Everything I've tried to do with it so far has worked first time with no hassles. Like for instance one of the first things I did was to set it up to get my email, I was expecting an hour of frustration but not a bit of it, I just put in my username and password and I was reading my emails within two minutes. After loading in the software I sat it on my infrared keyboard that I have for my Palm TX and ... Read More:

Palm Tungsten E2

from: Palm

April 07, 2005
I was debaiting on Palm Z22/E2/TX as i wouldn't use this item for big files or watching videos/music, I just wanted a powerful organizer.

I've had Microsoft windows based mobiles/PDA before and they are so slow and always have memory problems or glitches and won't sync with PC.
This palm syncs with my PC brilliantly and after a week of playing with it i'm very happy as it does what I want.

My only gripe is that this PDA doesn't appear to complete turn it's self off as it goes into power saving mode, but I like it as it's always ready to use at a moments notice.

overall I'm very happy with this PDA even though it was orginally made in 2005 but most people make the mistake of going for a windows based PDA with phones included but if you ... Read More:

Palm Zire 31

from: Palm

April 05, 2004
This is my first PDA, and after checking online, I decided to purchase this one. I am glad, as it does everything I want it to.

I was going to get the Tungsten E2, but as it wouldnt arrive for a couple of weeks, and I am inpaitent, I decided to save a bit of money and get little one. I ordered it on Tuesday morning, and it arrived on Wednesday morning, thanks speedy Amazon.

The little Palm Zire 31 does everything that I want it to do, at an excellent price, also with an MP3 player, the size can be anything you want, as you add your own SD card (Which I am currently waiting for from Amazon)

On the set up disk, you can add different things, such as Solitare and Mobile DB which I find extremely useful.

My view: 5/5. I love the blue colour and ... Read More:

Palm Treo 680 Sim-Free Smartphone

from: Palm

September 16, 2007
My Palm T3 was on its 2nd battery and my urge for a an Apple iPhone was growing. I read all the reviews on poor battery life and had been tracking the Treo 680 as an Amazon favourite for over a year watching the price carefully. When the Treo 680 was offered at £99 I couldn't resist and placed my order.

My purchase is now 3 months old and I totally delighted. With Bluetooth and Phone off the Battery life is excellent (4-6 days between charge). Even with the phone on, the battery life is not a problem and easily better than my old T3.
I found rehosting of the old software from the T3 to the new 680 reasonably painless.

Palm Treo 500 GSM Smartphone UMTS Radio

from: Palm

September 09, 2008
This is my first ever Palm based phone. Living in the UK, i prefer to stick to the usual Nokia, Samsung, and occassionally, a Sony Ericcson. However, after reading the Gossip Girl series and finding out that all the 'cool' kids had a Palm Treo, i decided to look on the website to see what all the fuss was about.
I immediatly fell in love with the pink Palm Centro- until i realised it was only avaliable in America- and wouldn't take my O2 sim card. I surfed the website until i came across the Treo 500. It looked awesome- I instantly wanted to buy it. After seeing it on Amazon, i sold my trusty Nokia 3250 Pink, and bought this. It was delivered two days later and I was careful not to rip it open and lose all the parts.
For my first ever Palm phone- i love it. I've only had it two ... Read More:

Palm Slim Leather Case - Handheld carrying case

from: Palm

June 02, 2005
Plus Points
Looks OK.
Minus Points.
Doesn't fit Z22.
Awkward fastening.
Stylus just falls out.
Ditto for Z22!

Obviously made specially for the Z22 as it has SD storage (unlike the Z22!); it has a neat cut out for the controller (not in the correct position for the Z22!); The fit is perfect (for a different PDA!).

Seriously. It is possible to remove the Z22 from this case through the screen cutout. The fit is so bad that it is really difficult to use in the case.

Avoid like a half-cooked chicken sndwich with a side order of salmonella.

Enjoy!
