Advantages Good Features and easy to use
Disadvantages No cradle....and camera lense is exposed.

I had received this as a gift attending a webinar on vertex. Its 11.7 x 7.5 x 1.7cm and weighs around 136g (4.8oz). Price ***** The average price is around 299 USD. I think this is worth the price.

A miracle in the palm of your hand 02/12/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Small, light, very well featured
Disadvantages Blue paint around the edge rubs off

Well, probably not a miracle to the “young’uns” bought up with todays technology but to someone who started his technical career dismantling reel-to-reel tape decks and televisions packed full of valves this little PDA truly is miraculous. It has a full colour extremely bright touch sensitive screen on which you can set your own background image. You can even ‘fade’ the background image so it doesn’t interfere with viewing of applications. I find the new handwriting recognition harder to get used to than the old system used on the Palms but that’s probably just me being used to the older style ... more

Boy what an upgrade 06/12/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Light, Great screen definition
Disadvantages Paint rubs off and looks tatty

The Zire 72 was the first PDA to use Intel's new PXA270 processor at 312 MHz. which outperforms the intel ARM family processors running at 400 MHz due to its significantly enhanced multimedia processing capabilities. As multimedia tasks like gaming and processing images are the most processor intensive tasks we use PDAs for the PXA270 performs well. The unit runs Palm OS Garnet (5.2.8) and has 32 megs of RAM, 24 of which are available to the user. The unit is Bluetooth compatible and its possible to connect to the internet either via your bluetooth mobile phone or via a bluetooth dongle or ... more

Palm Zire 72, my new school planner 01/10/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheap, Fast, Not a windows wannabe, digital camera built in!!
Disadvantages not that many programs available

The Palm Zire 72, the powerful PDA for those on a budget. I use it all the time in school for keeping an eye on timetables, meetings, clubs and homeworks set. It has a simple menu system and fantastic hand writing recognition. It does truely put Pocket PC systems to shame. I borrowed an Ipaq H5555 for an evening to compare to this Palm Zire and have to say that it was slower and a lot more bulkier than the Palm. Yes it does have wi-fi but i don't want to use the internet on my PDA. The machine looks the part, forget silver you want blue!! And not matt blue ooooh no... metalic blue. Fantastic ... more

Probably the best colour screen ever on a PDA? 04/08/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages looks good - colour screen - great features - mp3, camera, memory expansion
Disadvantages battery life, no headphones

This PDA is one of the first of a new generation of cool and useful PDA's. I bought this because I use a diary every day at work - needed a camera, and needed a new mp3 player as mine had broken. Here are the main features: (and you will be amazed how often you use them!) * Palm OS sofware * Digital Camera (quailty is just below what you would expect from a sole digital camera - but it is much better outside) *32meg of on board memory - but there is an expansion slot of the SDRAM cards, mine has a 128 meg card in it and it runs beautifully with mp3's and video on it. * Bluetooth connectivity ... more

Zire 72 15/08/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Does just about everything
Disadvantages The blue paint comes of really easy, making it look bad

I've had this pda for abotu a year and it is really good. It has just about everything rolled into one. It has an easy to use camera which can take pics really big, it has an mp3 and video player, you can take pictures or videos, you can record memo's have a doodle on the drawing pad, upload loads of fun games to do, use word, and make spreedsheets, and even go on the internet and check your emails. One problem i did find is that the blue paint peals of very easily, this happend to me and i tried scratching it off as it looked awful, but then the screen stopped working so i got another one ... more

An excellent pocket friend! 17/03/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Stylish design, clear screen, receptive pen input
Disadvantages none

When I wanted to get a PDA, I went to a computer store where there where several models on display to try them out and the Zire 72 was the one I kept coming back to. This gadget has and does so much, I consider it a really good investment. The camera is great, video recording is good enough to catch moments at sports day, school play, out with friends, moving snapshots of visits. You need an external memory card for video though - they start at around £30. I don't use the mp3 player, my iPod gets used for listening. But I do use the voice recorder and am very pleased with it. The quality is ... more

Excellent Value 04/08/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Camera/Camcorder, Bright Screen, Bluetooth, Responsive
Disadvantages Battery Life, Slow MP3 Transfer, Low Internal Memory

A great all-rounder, perfect for business or leisure use. Business: Ships with 'documents to go' - a great package that syncs nicely with microsoft office. Large hi-res screen displays data clearly, and is great for viewing websites. Very easy to sync with computer, masty copies of data stored on hard drive for back-up, as the internal memory is volitile, so data is lost when out of battery. Leisure: RealOne player as standard - fantastic audio quality. New breed of PDA processors handles even the most demanding games and movie decompression perfectly. SD expansion for media. 'Fun' ... more

ITS A MINI PC!!!!!!!!!!! 23/10/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Small, light, BLUE!!!
Disadvantages slow bluetooth transfer, (Maybe thats why you have the data cable :P)

This is my first PDA, which i bought on my trip to New York. I can say that it is one fantastic device. It can perform all the tasks that my laptop can do and im one of those people who trys out all sorts of softwares. Having a built in 1.2digital camear and the ability to send via bluetooth, this PDA can also conect to your fone and dial and send sms via your phones network. I have recently bought a navigation software for this which works like a dime with no probs whatsoever. Basically it is an all around PDA which suits the needs of anyone. I would highly recommend this PDA. The batterylife ... more
