Well, I certainly can't complain about my Palm Vx experience having won mine for filling in a survey and then selling my Palm III for £120. Both Palms have been great. I could never be bothered to carry around an address book, diary, calculator, etc. With the Palm you get all these as standard and thousands of other utilities are available.

The Palm OS is a joy to use and very intuitive. It is a gui, but it doesn't try to be Windows. As a result, it works perfectly on the Palm's display.

The data on the palmtop synchronises with your desktop PC with the touch of a button (literally) and so is always backed up.

So, I love my Palm V, but... I can't help thinking that if I had £300 to spend I wouldn't have bought it. Does it really do anything that the Palm III didn't, or does it just look sexy? And what about the Handspring Visor with it's expansion port? And then there's the HP Jornada for slightly more money - 133 processor, colour screen, etc.

In summary, a wonderful device, but weigh up your options.

Good op, nice individual style (always a good thing), but perhaps a little short. Enjoy Ciao!

Review of Palm Vx

Palm Vx - review by rtorra

Advantages: it's easy to use, the memory capacity is enhanced to 8mb compared to 2mb for many others, there are loads of add-on software programs, the rechargeable battery is also a god-send. It can be so annoying having to buy 2 sets of batteries
Disadvantages: inability to see what is actually stored on the Palm (eg like a File manager or Windows Explorer), if you screw up your contacts you can't delete more than 1 at a time! very annoying after syncing and making a mistake.
