User Submitted PalmOne IIIxe Personal Handheld Organizer Reviews (cont...)

The batteries (2x AAAs) will last you about a month. On you first day, it'd probably last you the day until the newest wears off.

I used the IIIxe mostly as a stand alone, which means I didn't use my PC to HotSync (maybe a few times). And I rarely had any problems; the only problems I'd encountered was from bad third-party software. I never had to hard reset.

You can go to Palm's website to download the Palm OS 4.1 upgrade, which I recommend if you plan on using some of newer third-party software.

So if you don't want much, but an inexpensive Palm OS PDA that waste batteries instead of electricity, with enough memory to do what your daily planner could do, and play games like Monopoly and Solitaire, and read ebooks, then this is the ideal purchase for you.

Or you go with a new Palm Zire/Zire21 for less than $100.

Deceptive sale
Item came with serial number removed from the back. No software. No manual. Batteries included were not alkaline.
No registration card. Therefore no garauntee from Palm!

Is this a "new" product? I doubt it.

Oldie but not moldy
I agree that this lacks some of the bells and whistles of
newer models but. . . to compare them don't forget to consider the weight. This model does everything I need and doesn't weigh a ton as do the color models particularly the new DELL.

This Palm is an Antique
This device was popular about three years ago, today it is considered an antique. If you are thinking about investing in a PDA, definitely go for a newer model. This PDA does not have any of the features, or memory of a newer model.
