I had the use of a Palm Vx while at work for a few months. I was sceptical at first because I had asked for a Compaq handheld computer but after a couple of hours, I was totally at ease with it. The fact that the HotSync button picks up all your e-mail (with attachments id you have another program as well) updates your address book etc. and it only takes about 15-20 seconds to do it all. To add new programs to the Palm, it takes virtually no effort whatsoever - you simply download the program that you want into the Palm folder on your harddrive and then do a HotSync and before you know it, it is there. The infrared port is extremely useful because you can exchange information and documents with customers, clients etc. very easily without having to have loads of paper everywhere. It can handle , MS Word, Excel documents and puts up scrollbars if the text goes off the screen. Also, with the IR, if there is someone that has something on their Palm that you want, it can also be sent to you. If you are quite comfortable using new technology, or even if you are not, then it feels like MS Windows because it is so easy to use. The battery life is excellent and the good thing is that you can leave it permenantly charged if you are at your desk without the battery getting damaged (unlike some mobile phone batteries).
Overall, well worth buying if you are going to use it. If it is just a fashion accessory, them maybe the Palm M100 would be better as it is about 1/3 of the price and aimed more at "non-business" customers.
