shoddy.......2003-05-01

I suppose this might be a cool device if it actually functioned properly. Almost from the second I unwrapped it there were problems - it freezes every other day. I don't know how much data I've lost cumulatively. I don't even want a replacement, I want a different model. I'll even take a "lesser" model. If Palm support fails me (which I hear is likely) I'm going back to handspring.

WHAT'S A LAPTOP?.......2003-02-18

As a New York Criminal and Divorce attorney, I swear the 1-705 is
guilty of being the best friend you can have out there in the field. The ability to read Excel & Word docs is a godsend, and between the power to remote access the internet, and the freebie downloads available for a palm, who needs a laptop? This beauty and a cell phone, and you've got all the equipment you need to be a successful road warrior. You are hereby summoned to appear with your i-705 and run your business on the run.

Inferior.......2003-02-10

I received the i705 for Christmas. I have had nothing but trouble with the product. The Infrared radio didn't work. I tried for several weeks! The absolute worst part , however, was Palm's customer service. If you think they are out there to help you, you are wrong. They agreed (after several phone calls), to replace the unit. This was a new unit that they finally agreed to replace. After reading the fine print, I realized they were going to send me a reconditioned unit, and by now, there are better products on the market. Curiously enough, the unit still hasn't arrived. Additionally, you need to sign up for their service, which is pricey. If I have to have a reconditoned unit, I may as well have the top of the line reconditioned PDA. The price on this unit has come down considerably, I guess there is a reason. Oh, and the customer service department may be suffering from post Christmas stress, as they were a bit touchy, to say the least.

Excellent piece of engineering, so so service, though.......2003-01-25

This is a great PDA! Elegant design, fast, practical, the best among all models before Tungsten. The best value for your money, as well. I used to have a Palm VIIx, another great PDA, but I decided to switch to this model mostly because of the, supposedly better, wireless capabilities (internet access, even Google!), AOL instant messenger, e-mail, etc., the amazing Documents To Go program, and also for the fabulous expansion card with the Merriam-Webster dictionary! I have only two (major) complaints: the wireless service is TOO expensive and the MultiMail 1.2 e-mail program takes longer than with the Palm VIIx, let alone it gobbles very quickly your monthly allotment of 100K. In less than a month, just using e-mail, it has already used up 163K! And to think that with my Palm VIIx, I barely used 40K each month... If the wireless service were less expensive and more efficient (there is a number of error messages each time) this Palm would be, hands down, the best of all. I will continue to enjoy my Palm i705 minus the wireless capabilities. I don't want to talk about the old fashioned, low-resolution screen, practically the same that came with the original Palm Pilot. The Casio Clié, if not for the lack of wireless functions, beats easily this model. And this is said by a seasoned Palm fan.

Customer Reviews:

Too Old.......2004-09-10

This used to be a great device. However, as of Aug. 31, 2004, Palm is discontinuing their Palm.Net wireless service. As the Palm VII cannot be reconfigured to use a different service, the vast majority of its functionality is now gone. If you just need a basic handheld, the Palm VII will still work in this capacity, but there are other devices which work just as well for a lower cost.

unless you own stock in Duracell forget it.......2003-05-07

this was the second Palm I owned, and was a closeout model, and it was terrible. Battery life is non-existent unless one week counts. In fact was away from unit for a week and not only were the batteries completely dead, but lost all data. I love the convenience of a PDA, just not THIS PDA

Socks knocked off !!.......2002-06-10

Product works great. It replaces one that I had for 2 years which I dropped and shattered the screen on. I ordered from the vendor on Friday afternoon. On the next Monday morning the PDA was delivered to my office, with a new set of alkalines installed. I was synched up within 5 minutes of opening the box! Great service from the vendor..at regular ground shipping rates. "Thanks"

The computer wiz.......2002-01-31

This is a great product. I loved it from day one, and I have been using for about 1 1/2 years now. It may take a week or two to get used to handwriting if you have never done it on any other device before, but once that hurdle is passed, it is a minature computer at the palm of your hand!

Hmm..........2001-12-03

This has the potential to be a good device, but lost a lot. The palm VII can connect to the internet with pretty good rates, but the most it can do is webclipping apps, like Wall Street Journal. While it can probably do more if you connect using a manual connection, you have to go through a lot. Also nagging is the fact that it only has 2mb of memory, not allowing you to store lots of programs. However, this can be a good thing, because you don't load lots of useless programs on. The contrast nobbie in the back got annoying because it was hard to use, but it never got accidentally adjusted like the palm Vx could.
The palm VII is for the net user, but if you aren't going to use it for the internet, buy an m100, same as this only round and modem-free. (I happen to like the boxy shape of the VII.)

Amazon.com Review

It's always a wonderful feeling when gadgets work seamlessly and live up to their plug-and-play promise. The Palm portable keyboard is such a gadget. It's possibly the best hardware add-on for Palm devices currently on the market--it installs easily and helps you increase your Palm productivity.

Installation of the Keyboard application onto the Palm handheld is easily accomplished during a typical HotSync. (To prepare the app for HotSync, simply add it to the Install Tool on Windows, or the Install Handheld Files in the Mac HotSync Manager.)

Once the app was installed, we were ready for testing at a meeting. We sauntered in and unfolded the keyboard in a flourish--clicking it open from its folded position, laying it flat, sliding the keyboard parts together (it's broken into thirds for folding), and attaching our m100 in a matter of seconds. The attendees at the meeting were suitably wide eyed and impressed with our James Bondian device. (This model of the Palm Portable Keyboard also accommodates Palm VII and Palm III series handhelds--even the Palm IIIc. A separate model is available for the Palm V.)

But the Palm portable keyboard is more than a flashy toy--it's a productivity juggernaut that has some of the best keyboard action we've ever experienced. The keys are not soft and mushy like other keyboards we've tested for handhelds. Instead, they're a bit on the tight side but with a lot of give. Also, the more we used the keyboard, the more we found ourselves shying away from tapping the screen to navigate through a screen or perform actions such as switching applications or opening up the Details section of a Memo or Address Book contact. With the Palm keyboard, you can do virtually all your work without taking your fingers off the keyboard.

The keyboard includes custom buttons for the built-in Palm applications (Date Book, Address, To Do List, and Memo Pad). Several keys have added functions, such as the ability to open up the Apps screen, scroll through a screen, or turn on the backlight. You can also customize your own shortcuts list of applications loaded onto your Palm handheld. This is done using the Keyboard app, and you can assign the number keys 1 through 9 (but not 0). After making our designations, pressing Cmd-1 immediately took us to our favorite diversion--YahtC--during a lull in our meeting.

All told, we have nothing but praise for the Palm portable keyboard, not just for the ease of inputting text but also for changing the way we use our Palm handheld. Since we started using the keyboard, we now often travel without any laptop, confident that any degree of writing or note taking during meetings can be handled by our Palm alone. (It should also be noted that we typed this review on our m100 while sitting comfortably at our local coffee shop.) If you are a heavy Palm user, the Palm portable keyboard is an essential and very cool tool. --Agen G.N. Schmitz

Pros:

Highly portable

Customizeable Cons:

Will need to work on flat surface

Truly Portable Word Processing!.......2006-09-11

I am a writer who hates lugging a laptop around. My Dell lasts less than 2 hours on a charge, weighs too much and can't be let out of sight without being stolen. It is useless on the road except for setting up in a hotel room. I have a Palm IIIxe I bought on eBay 4 years ago for under $30.00 but used only as an address and date book. I picked up this keyboard in the past few weeks, combined it with a copy of WordSmith for word processing and now I can't imagine being without it. Everything weighs under a pound, fits in a case smaller than a paperback book, runs about 3 weeks on a pair of AAA batteries and has room enough to hold about 1200 pages. Drop it in the cradle when I get home, perform a sync and everything goes right into Microsoft Word without losing any formatting. Add to that how good the action on this keyboard feels and I can't imagine ever hauling my laptop to Starbucks again.

Palm Key board.......2004-08-20

I never really used my palm until I bought this key board. It is great I use it all the time now. The keyboard was like new and works great.

Love it!!.......2004-03-30

I really like this item. I like it for school a lot. When I do my reports it is a very cool tool to have. The shortcuts are cool too.

I love this!.......2004-03-04

I have had my Palm for about 2 years and bought a keyboard when it was only a couple of months old. I took that one back because it was sold without software. I decided not to buy another one because I didn't want to have to run up to the computer store again.

I'm a journalist, so I'm using my Palm daily now and am always having to pull up the keyboard on the screen. This get's a be a pain when I'm writing a list of interview questions or writing down who I talked to or emailed in a contact log.

The keyboard took less than 5 minutes to install, pop in the CD and add the keyboard will be installed next time you sync your Palm with the PC. I was shocked that it really was that simple.

When I finally have to replace my Palm, I'm definitely going to get another keyboard. This one saves me so much time.

good for typing papers.......2003-10-17

During the day when I'm not around a computer I use mine to type papers. Then when I get home I can put it on the computer and format it!

Excellent service. Product arrived promptly and in original box. I am happy I found it at a very good price. I'll buy from the seller again when I need to.

Practically useless.......2003-07-19

Don't expect a USB cable on this cradle. This cradle is just like the one that came with the Palm IIIx, and that's fine if you haven't upgraded your computer in years, but who has serial ports on their machines these days? To use this cradle you have to buy an adapter and install a driver to run it, and for an old PDA it hardly seems worth the trouble. For the time and energy you spend doing that, you're better off just upgrading your PDA.

A Palm Essential.......2003-08-19

If you have a laptop and travel, or you move from home and office with your Palm, this is an essential to keeping your data in synch. Period!

perfect terminal.......2003-01-04

Though I don't regularly sync my palm to any of my computers I can see how this cable would be of great use to those who sync to laptops simply because the cradle that comes with the Palm III and VII is more bulky than would be convenient to pack in a laptop case. I, myself, bought the cable as a plain and simple serial interface. If you're a techy doing work with servers or network equipment with serial management available this is the perfect solution. Just grab a terminal program (I use ptelnet), plug in this cable to your hardware and your palm and you're set. Simple and lightweight. Way better even than using a laptop.

Very useful product.......2002-03-22

With the Palm Hotsync Cable, I am able to sync my IIIxe at home and at the office. It is just the right length, plugs into my PDA easily, and is out of sight/out of the way when not in use. If you have a laptop, this is a must-have product. A great product at a great price.

It's got some major shortcomings..........2001-04-26

1) There's no hotsync button. Yes,it can be done ... 2) There's no power plug for recharging the 3C. Note that this is a Palm-made cable... Why couldn't the designer use the same plug design as Palm's own cradle? For short trips I should be able to use just the cable, for long trips I could add my Palm power pack into the travel bag. 3) It's too long. A foot is plenty for a laptop cable. But I could live with a long cable and no way to charge the unit if the first problem was fixed.

I'm eagerly awaiting version 2 of this cable.

Palm IIIxe? You NEED this - read the other reviews as well!.......2001-03-06

Though the Palm IIIxe comes standard with a HotSync cradle, that isn't something you want to carry in your pocket. This cable is the ideal solution if you travel or if you need to sync with more than one PC. The generous 3' cable length is perfect - better a long cable than one that's too short.

Keep in mind that this is NOT a USB sync cable, it's a practical serial device for the Palm III & VII, along with some of the older models.

Read the other reviews here and you'll find other creative uses for this cable, so I won't repeat them here. You'll also see that most of the owners who needed a serial sync cable agree - get this and you won't be sorry.

This is a very unstable product. Palm customer service could not even find their own documention for this product.

Unstable.......2003-07-15

...the performance of this machine is unstable. If you are a user of a hack (a Palm program that can be compared with a TSR of the old DOS - do you remember Sidekick?) or a notification manager program like pToolSet, there is a chance of this program's malfunction. Even after uninstalling pToolSet from my TRG PRO, in a morning, my cradle stopped working without any specific reason. If you can set this machine it up successfully, you can get some convenience from this machine, especially if you have a wireless network like me. But this machine often rejects to work.

Amazon.com Review

Tired of using the stylus for tedious "typing" and handwriting on your Palm III series or Palm VII organizer? The Palm portable keyboard not only gives you a full-size QWERTY keyboard for touch-typing on your Palm organizer, but also folds up for portable convenience.

The keyboard folds into a 3.5-by-5-inch case that is only slightly larger than the Palm organizer itself. At 0.875 inches thick, the portable keyboard is a little too large to fit into most shirt pockets, but it will fit into a jacket pocket and takes up very little room in a briefcase or purse. This model of the portable keyboard works with the Palm III series (including Palm III, IIIx, IIIe, and IIIxe) and Palm VII connected organizers.

To set up the keyboard driver, we did not need to consult the instruction manual. We inserted the accompanying software disk into our PC and double-clicked the PRC icon on our desktop. We inserted the Palm organizer into its HotSync cradle and pressed the HotSync button. To open the portable keyboard, we slid its side-mounted thumb-switch down, unfolded its panels, and slid the left and right sides of the keyboard together until they locked into place. With only a little experimentation, we found a sliding support behind the portable keyboard's dock connector, into which we slid our Palm organizer. Then, we started the Memo application on the Palm and began typing. In fact, we wrote a portion of this review using the Memo application while typing on the portable keyboard.

Typing on the portable keyboard is much like typing on a notebook PC. The response of the keys is quite comfortable, and the tactile feedback is satisfying. The keys are also positioned well for fast touch-typing. Note that you can only use the portable keyboard on a firm flat surface; you cannot use it on your lap because the keyboard's center hinge does not lock. We also recommend that you handle the portable keyboard gently, as it is made from thin and lightweight materials.

For people who need to use their Palm for memos, e-mail, writing reports, or any activity that requires entering more than just a few words, the Palm portable keyboard offers a tremendous convenience, especially given its small size and portability.

Pros:

True touch-typing for your Palm organizer
Ultracompact folding design for portability
Doesn't require batteries or an external power source
Atractive styling

Cons:

Cannot rest keyboard on your lap
Lightweight construction

The Keyboard is Mightier than the Pen (and just as handy).......2000-11-16

Imagine if you will...

You've just returned to your hotel room after an important all day conference, your head brimming with ideas. You're a woman (or man) of the 21st century, you've got your Palm Pilot at the ready, and you're all set to record the amazing things that are popping into your inspired brain.

Then, you remember the incredible hassle it is to actually USE a Palm Pilot for this sort of task. Sure, it's OK for notes or quick jots of phone numbers, names, or reminders, but when it comes to pinning down the flow of thoughts, it's a pain in the hand.

Enter the portable keyboard! This little gadget is truly a lifesaver for all Palm Pilot users. After the Palm Pilot, seeing a keyboard folded into a smart zippered pouch may not be very impressive -- until you use it! Everything you need is arranged neatly inside this smart little case, and you get to open it ... just like Christmas!

The Palm Portable keyboard is not much bigger than your Palm Pilot. Yet, waiting inside this practical looking case is an instruction manual, software CD, and the answer to your Palm Pilot prayers: a complete, finger-comfy keyboard. It's so easy to use, you may not even need to read the instructions.

All you do is remove the contents of the zippered case, and unfold the keyboard! When completely unfolded, it's the same size as your desktop keyboard.

Once unfolded, just pop the CD into the Palm HotSync to install the Palm Pilot Keyboard software, and connect your Palm Pilot where indicated. Viola! Now you have the speed and data entry control only a keyboard can provide.

This is a match made in Palm Pilot heaven! It takes only minimal power from your Palm Pilot to run, and it works like a charm. The keyboard is the same size and has the same basic feel as your trusty home PC keyboard. It's small enough to slip into your pocket along with your Palm Pilot so you can take it wherever you go. It unfolds and assembles in seconds, so there's not much wasted time getting those thoughts down when you need to. When you're finished using it, this handy keyboard folds down to a little pocket-sized, eight-ounce packet.

This keyboard makes it easy to take notes at meetings or conferences, or any place when you're away from your desk. You can use it to record lengthy notes at business meetings or to compose and respond to email. It's simple to navigate to your address book, appointment calendar, or any other applications. It also comes with nine user-programmable keys.

The keyboard even saves wear and tear on the Palm Pilot itself since by using the keys you no longer use the screen as much.

And the price is right. It's really a great bargain!

Is there a downside? Well, you may need a bit of time adjusting to the height of the keys on this new toy. Although it works just as well as the keyboards you've become so fond of, the key height is a bit different.

Some hard-core typists may feel odd about the right shift key being a bit more to the right than they're used to. These are minor quirks however, and nothing you can't get used to quickly.

Also, the little keyboard stand is a bit tricky to set up. You've first got to slide it straight out from the back of the keyboard, then hold it at a 45-degree angle, and flip out the back portion to attach the Palm Pilot. Once you get this process down, however, you'll find that this fragile looking stand does a great job of holding the Pilot in place while your fingers fly smoothly over the keys.

The support desk at Palm Pilot is great with resolving any setup problems:...

This Marvel of Engineering Is Broken After Only Two Months?.......2000-11-01

Based upon comments read here, I purchased the keyboard and in no time at all, I was hooked! What a marvel of engineering, I thought. I've used it almost every day since August. No more tapping on tiny keyboards or slow Graffiti for me. Two days ago, with no warning, my Palm began believing the keyboard was the Hot Sync cradle. Error message after error message, reset after reset, each time I put the Palm in the keyboard cradle, it crashed. Called customer service....30 minute wait. They tell me to delete the keyboard software from the Palm and reload. Did that. Nothing. Same error message. Same confusion. Called again. Another 20 minute wait. This time, I am told that it is probably corrupted software, which sounded odd to me because no software was being used except Keyboard and it was brand spanking new. I suggested that it probably was a hardware problem. The technician did not appreciate my expertise. This time I was told to reset the entire Palm. Yes, that's right, push the stylus pin in that little reset hole in the back and erase every single thing and start from scratch. I did that. Took two hours. Guess what? Nothing. Same error message. Same confusion. Called Palm again. Seems it is probably a hardware problem. Needed to arrange an exchange. Took another 30 minute wait. APPARENTLY THIS KEYBOARD IS BREAKING DOWN ALL OVER THE PLACE. CAUTION. THIS HAS ONLY BEEN ON THE MARKET A FEW MONTHS AND THEY ALREADY HAVE "REFURBISHED" KEYBOARDS READY FOR EXCHANGE. It would've been a dream, if it worked. Problem is, it doesn't.

It's been fixed!.......2000-10-15

People have complained about how the keyboard delays when typing. I'm a slow typist, so it doesn't bother me too much. But for you fast typists, go to [the product's website] to get the new keyboard driver, version 1.2. It fixes the problem of a delay. Now all they need is something to keep it rigid for typing in my lap. Then it would be perfect.

Warning for M100 owners!.......2000-09-22

Although this keyboard shows up in the search list for Palm M100s, Palm insists that the curved shape of the M100's bottom is not compatible with standard III keyboards, folding or otherwise.

Super Fantastic!.......2000-09-01

What a great addition to the Palm Pilot!! I cannot believe what a difference it makes for inputting, particularly if you are "keyboard literate." A definite must in my book.
