    5 Stars A great little first time PDA 15/10/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very easy to use, doesn't crash, lots of free software available

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Screen not as good as more expensive models, has built in battery

    I have had this little PDA for just over three years now, and I'm very pleased with it. I got it for about £50 in the clearout section of PC world when I was looking for a replacement for my old Sharp organiser. One of the main plus points is that it is very easy to use. The built in applications do most things I need and the interface is very well thought out. Backing up to the PC is so easy. Just connected it to the USB lead, press one button on the Palm, wait a few seconds, and it's done. The palm application on the PC is also very useful for entering a lot of data (or copy/paste from other ... more

    3 Stars PalmOne Zire 31 - Great Item or Just A Palm Off?! 26/08/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good Price, Ease of Use, Good Features, Portable (Lightweight), Good Battery Life

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor Durability, Low Memory Capacity, Manual Needs Improvement

    This PDA I found to be good in many ways, but also to have some disadvantages. Advantages: Good Price - This PDA retails for around the £120 mark and it can even be purchased for cheaper with some retailers - £120 for a PDA is great value, considering that most of them retail for above £200. Ease of Use - I found this model to be easy to use - a good menu that is accessable easily - plus icons on the home screen. The buttons are also easy to understand and are labeled very well. Good Features - For the price this PDA has some really handy features including: Contacts, Calendar, World Clock ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Non

    I first perchased a standard Palm zire around 9 months ago for storing Contacts & info etc. after getting used to this PDA quite quickly I decided to update to the PalmOne Zire 31. I have found this PDA a real gem with it's multi useful functions, as well as bieng able to store my contacts & useful info I need for day to day living, I have found updating my PDA with the HotSync function is very easy just by connecting my Cradle/Cable to my PC & pressing this the HotSync icon on my PDA & using the Palm Desktop software in conjunction with this action. You can update the PDA from your computer ... more

    4 Stars nice for watching mpegs 24/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages light weight

    Disadvantages Disadvantages crashes often

    I got this as a portable mpeg player and mp3 player. I have changed the card to a 512mb card. The battery life is excellent. I love it. It does everything I need, so much so I hardly ever use my pc! It can run the divx codec using the appropriate software. It can run ebooks with ease and can store a huge amount. With the correct software you can store whole volumes of mp3's on it so that you can listen on the bus/train/airplane. The only thing that's lacking is internet connectivity, I heard it is possible but I haven't been able to do it yet. Also I managed to get a piece of software that ... more
