Palm Zire 21 - Great Basic PDA For Beginners

by Kittyokc , Nov 10, 2003
Pros: Easy to use and many applications.
Cons: Screen is not backlit.
The Bottom Line: Great basic PDA for beginners and students.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: For someone needing a basic PDA, one without all the bells and whistles that the more expensive ones come with, the Palm Zire 21 will surely fit the bill. Instead of writing things down on pieces of paper, that usually get misplaced, you can...

Stylin' Without Color

by RichBoston , Apr 13, 2001
Pros: Expansion Capabilities, Palm 4.0 OS, New Apps.
Cons: No Color, Not Compatible With Other Cradles or Handspring Attachments
The Bottom Line: Basically the same unit as the new Palm m505 but with a monochrome screen. Which model you buy will depend on how attached you are to a color screen.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Think Palm Vx revitalized and ready to meet the future and you have the Palm m500. I?ve spent a week with the m500 obtained from retail sources in advance of the release scheduled for later in the month. Virtually everything contained in my m505...

Accessory Manufacturers Are Smiling But I'm Not

by quasar , Apr 16, 2001
Pros: silent alarms, expansion capability, USB or serial sync
Cons: inverted backlight, SD cards mostly vaporware, yet another hotsync connector
The Bottom Line: Unless you are a V/Vx owner who loves the form factor but needs more memory, I would avoid the m500 until there is a critical mass of shipping SD devices.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: I got the chance to see the m500 recently when Palm came to the Boston PDA User Group. He didn't have the m505, but luckily a different Palm employee who came to the New England Palm User Group a few days later did. I already wrote a review of the...
