Palm V Hand held PDA (Electronics)


This review is from: Palm V Hand held PDA (Electronics)


My Palm V has worked flawlessly since my purchase in September of 1999. The device is very well made and is one of the few electronic devices I've purchased recently that fully delivered on its promise.

On a Windows 98 laptop, the synchronization worked flawlessly the first time out-of-the-box and every time since. I have also successfully (i.e. without glitch) upgraded the OS so that the HotSynch is faster.

I don't normally rave, but my Palm V is everything I expected and more. I have found it to be both intuitive and reliable. It is rugged (I have dropped it on concrete, and it has been rained on countless time, albeit briefly) and very easy to use.

I had initial concerns about the amount of memory, but those concerns have been allayed. In addition to all the addresses, appointments, and emails of a busy MBA student, every day I download: auto.com, Bloomberg, Business Week, Fodor's (Chicago), ExploreZone, The Financial Times, Hoover's IPO Update, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and TheStreet.com. And I still have more than 30% of my memory available.
