Let me Read you Fortune!!
Review of Palm V by ptiemann

Advantages: Makes my life easier, light, compact
Disadvantages: cost

I purchased my PALM V at the beginning of the school year. I'm currently a college student, so I find it very important to get things organized. I used to use a daily planner (yeah one of those paper things). But let me tell you, my organization has increased dramatically since buying this PDA!!! The Palm V does most everything you can imagine. Included in the PDA: daily planner, phone numbers, Time, Alarm, Games, books, etc. The V is simple, ... Read review

Give me five
Review of Palm V by Wolf

Advantages: Small, Adaptable, Powerful
Disadvantages: Not a huge ammount of memory

...ask any owner of a Palm Pilot is "How has it changed your life?". The wallet sized organiser packs a mighty punch and was one of the first PDA (personal digital assistant) that fits neatly in your pocket. For anyone who has never seen one of these neat devices it is around the size of a mans wallet and has is basically a screen with four small buttons at the base. There is no keyboard with it (though one is available as an optional extra). Information ... Read review

Ageing, but still invaluable
Review of Palm V by TallTone

Advantages: Fits your work and social life into a small portable space; wide range of downloadable software
Disadvantages: Handwriting recognition not perfect

OK, so the Palm V isn't exactly the hottest new thing on the planet. I've had mine for about eighteen months, and it's still going strong. It's all there - address book, date book, to do list, notepad, calculator. If that isn't enough, hook it up to a PC and you can also download a variety of programs (and there's some good shareware out there) to do anything from play chess (there are plenty of games) to provide recipe ideas. You can send e-mail ... Read review

The most useful device I ever bought!
Review of Palm V by ghotine

Advantages: Walking office
Disadvantages: The panic attack when I think I've lost it!

I upgraded to the Palm V when it first came out from an original PalmPilot. I had used the pilot extensively but the V had one major advantage; size. I wouldn't carry the Pilot in my shirt pocket as it was slightly too large, but the V is ideal. I carry it whilst at work continuously. This means that whenever I get stopped whilst away from my desk, I can agree to attend a meeting and book it there and then, or search for the info someone has just ... Read review

Long life? Light? Love it.
Review of Palm V by WorldGirl

Advantages: Easy to carry around, syncs up to everything I need
Disadvantages: Can't play MP3s (but you buy an MP3 player for that!)

...my key criteria, and the Palm V has been great on all fronts. I essentially use mine as - a glorified diary (because I need something that will beep at me if I've forgotten something important) - something to play mind-numbing games on boring (short) train journeys - stuff like patience - something to sync up with AvantGo to get the Guardian downloaded to give me something to read on my way home from work. The best thing is that the battery ... Read review

Joy to use
Review of Palm V by pefidler

Advantages: Light, good battery life
Disadvantages: None

...been a user of the Palm V for nearly a year now, and have no complaints whatsoever. Firstly, this is no replacement for a PC, and comparing one against a WinCE device is unfair. Yes, I surf the web, have e-mail, and WAP, and even ICQ! As you may guess, I use the Palm with both a Palm Modem and a mobile phone. Whilst on the road, it is useful for contacts, memo's, to-do list, etc, and also keeping up with e-mail etc. I use mine mainly for the ... Read review

Palm V is not so hot
Review of Palm V by johngeorge

Advantages: Slim Design, Good Synchronisation, Great Software available.
Disadvantages: lack of memory.

...are looking at buying a Palm V, then DON'T. It has so little memory that it really makes it useless. When I first got it, I was pleased with it until I started downloading applications to it. Download one or two decent applications and you're struggling - and that's before you even add any other data to it. The Palm Vx is practically a Palm V with 8mb of memory and the difference is incredible. The Palm Vx is actually usable. Apart from the memory ... Read review

V out of V
Review of Palm V by cloudbt

Advantages: lots of features, linkable to pc
Disadvantages: can have some connection probs :(

the palm 5 is so hot it burns right throught your hands. This baby rocks out your schedule, keeps notes, a drawing or two, connects to your computer and proforms teminal functions. Man, this thing does everything but jump through hoops! I did encounter one minor problem though, the palm V I was testing had trouble catching sync with the PII 450 when I linked them through the palm pilot software. If you are in the market for a PDA, then the palm ... Read review

One of lifes essentials
Review of Palm V by mandynoble

Advantages: small, neat, multi-functional, stylish, re-chargeable
Disadvantages: none

I couldn't function without it. It's a shame I have to write 80 words because that phrase sums it up. Mail, addresses, memos, games (so addictive), re-chargeable (long, long life) etc etc. Need I go on. You could spend more on a PDA but I feel very strongly that if you can live without a colour screen then this is everything you need. I am highly mobile and it allows me to pack my entire lifes organisational needs into this neat little package ... Read review

The Palm and the mobile phone
Review of Palm V by fatflatfish

Advantages: no cables, so nothing more to carry
Disadvantages: low memory on the palmV

...to the internet with your palm and a mobile phone! I've recently bought Palm's Mobile Internet kit and it rocks!!! I can use my Palm V and my mobile phone (Motorola L7089) to wirelessly access the internet. The software is very reasonably priced, dead easy to install (as long as you have all the correct details for your ISP) and with the Infra red ports on both the phone and the palm, I don't need any cables or connectors. The software 'MultiMail' ... Read review

Unimpressive.
Review of Palm V by mikegray

Advantages: Synchronizes flawlessly
Disadvantages: Unintuitive, difficult to input.

...- I didn't buy a Palm V - I won one, and with that in mind, I'm still disappointed with it. Yes, it's nice to look at, and yes, it synchronises with your PC rather nicely, but overall, the package left me cold. Firstly, the stylus - I'm sorry, but I don't actually want to learn an entire other languge just to be able to write things on my Palm - I don't want to learn symbols for letters of the alphabet - I want something *intuitive* - which the ...

Can download tons of games, puzzles, Dictionarys, software to turn it into a remote control for you TV, Garage, whatever, theasurus, download emails, read documents, track shares, and lots more which ive not discovered yet. The games can get really adictive and when you get tired of one, just download something else. The size is one of the best features it has too. Its the slimest PDA ... Read review

Advantages: Good memory
Disadvantages: Black and white

...home i have got a palm V it has got a good memory capacity of 2 mb and has good software and can upgrade it for just £13.00 the only let down and the thing i dont realy like is it is only black and white. Another good feature is that it has a backlit display and you can also hook it up to your laptop, computer or mobile. If you use your mobile you can write and send sms messages and i also want to know if theres a better palm out. ... Read review

Review of Palm V by steroper

Advantages: Fun to use, very useful.
Disadvantages: none

...don't personally own a 3com Palm 5 organizer but I do have a lot of freinds that own these and I use these alot. With its little pen and touch screen these palm 5 organizers can be invaluable at times when they are needed, like when you need to write small memos, play games, play music or sounds. I've had great fun downloading music from the internet and playing it back in great sound on these little things, or downloading movie clips which can ... Read review
