User Submitted PalmOne VII Handheld ReviewsDate: 2004-09-09 Too Old This used to be a great device. However, as of Aug. 31, 2004, Palm is discontinuing their Palm.Net wireless service. As the Palm VII cannot be reconfigured to use a different service, the vast majority of its functionality is now gone. If you just need a basic handheld, the Palm VII will still work in this capacity, but there are other devices which work just as well for a lower cost. Date: 2003-05-07 unless you own stock in Duracell forget it this was the second Palm I owned, and was a closeout model, and it was terrible. Battery life is non-existent unless one week counts. In fact was away from unit for a week and not only were the batteries completely dead, but lost all data. I love the convenience of a PDA, just not THIS PDA Date: 2002-06-10 Socks knocked off !! Product works great. It replaces one that I had for 2 years which I dropped and shattered the screen on. I ordered from the vendor on Friday afternoon. On the next Monday morning the PDA was delivered to my office, with a new set of alkalines installed. I was synched up within 5 minutes of opening the box! Great service from the vendor..at regular ground shipping rates. "Thanks" Date: 2002-01-31 The computer wiz This is a great product. I loved it from day one, and I have been using for about 1 1/2 years now. It may take a week or two to get used to handwriting if you have never done it on any other device before, but once that hurdle is passed, it is a minature computer at the palm of your hand! Date: 2001-12-03 Hmm... This has the potential to be a good device, but lost a lot. The palm VII can connect to the internet with pretty good rates, but the most it can do is webclipping apps, like Wall Street Journal. While it can probably do more if you connect using a manual connection, you have to go through a lot. Also nagging is the fact that it only has 2mb of memory, not allowing you to store lots of programs. However, this can be a good thing, because you don't load lots of useless programs on. The contrast nobbie in the back got annoying because it was hard to use, but it never got accidentally adjusted like the palm Vx could. The palm VII is for the net user, but if you aren't going to use it for the internet, buy an m100, same as this only round and modem-free. (I happen to like the boxy shape of the VII.)
