Palm V.......2004-04-01

The shipping and receiving of the Palm was adequate. However the back light didn't function. I e mailed the seller about the problem but never received a reply.

Tired Attorney.......2002-04-29

I got a Palm V about 2 years ago. My hope was that I could trash my full-to-bursting filo fax with multiple addresses/business cards for my ever-moving family and friends and also take my work calendar and address book on the road thereby avoid the constant stress of not being able to get hold of my secretary to access diary appointments and contact details when away from my desk-top/lap-top.

The touch -screen alignment of the first Palm V I received went out of whack almost immediately making it impossible to "tap" anything in the top half inch of the screen and extremely irritating. I tried a number of times to access the help-desk but who has an hour a day to stay on hold? By the time I finally got through it was about 10 months into my warranty. The chap I spoke to was very pleasant and advised that I return my Palm for a refurbished model. The return policy was easy and I was impressed by the "just put it back in the box it came in, have the courier service pick it up and we'll sort it all out" and hopefull of a successful result.

The refurbished model I later got turned out to have exactly the same problem once I hot-synched it with my desk-top application (leading me to think it was the software and not the actual device). It was a few more weeks before I had time to brave the help-desk again. This time my one year warranty was up so I was told I could either pay $100 to get it fixed (and risk getting the same [bad] system back again) or buy a new one. I decided to put up with the one I had. Unfortunately the "refurbished" model turned out to be even [worse] than the first one as not only was the screen out of whack, this one randomly "fainted" when I took it off its cradle even when fully recharged, i.e., sometimes I would switch it on and five minutes later it would totally run out of steam and freeze up, sometimes I could take it away for a week-end and it was ok. As it always seemed to pass-out and leave me stranded on the business trips, I took to taking a hard-copy of my contact database with me as a back-up. I am now at the point where I print out my entire database and calendar when I am out of the office AND take my filofax to keep the business cards in.

I am still committed to the idea of the Palm and jealous of my friends' functioning models but am wary of shelling out another [item price] for something ultimately less useful than an etcha-sketch.

PalmV Handheld.......2002-01-15

I've owned one for two years; it made it possible for me not to travel with my notebook. It sync's to ACT!2000 with more than 1200 names in about 90 seconds. Be sure to download the newest software from Palm and from your contact manager for best results.
The slim design allows you to carry this anywhere. It's never given me any problems.

The worst Ever Experiance with Palm.......2001-12-12

Having comfortably used Palm3 , I thought i would go for Palm 5.
In the first 90 days , Palm sent three units , which to my utter astonishment have got different kinds of problems . After one year of purchase of this Palm5 , I am using my old Palm3 . If you want to rely on Palm hand held , Don't go for Palm V.

The classic Palm.......2001-12-08

This was one of Palm's real groundbreaking handhelds, with it's sleek case and low weight. Still a great handheld but only has 2 MB of memory and lacks the SD slot that the new Palms are being manufactured with. If you just need a calendar and address book, this will do it, but the m100 will do just about the same (...)(with albeit a much smaller screen). The backlight on the Palm V is woeful like the backlights on all Palms, but is not needed too often.

Amazon.com Review

Note to customers: this is the international version of the Palm V. It's nearly identical to the regular Palm V but comes with a 110/240-volt adapter for worldwide use.

The Palm V Connected Organizer is the popular and sleek PDA that some claim has changed their lives. The software is basically the same as that of the Palm III series (Palm III, IIIx, IIIe, and IIIxe), but the physical unit is significantly enhanced.

At only 4.7 by 3.2 inches, the Palm V's elegant anodized-aluminum case is far smaller and lighter than that of the Palm III series and Palm VII organizers, and at 0.4 inches thick, it's truly pocket-sized. However, the Palm V lacks the Palm VII's Palm.Net feature. (Palm.Net is a wireless communication service for Internet messaging and Web clipping--a feature that permits you to shop on the Internet and retrieve e-mail, news, sports, flight information, weather reports, and so on.) The Palm V also looks super cool, an intangible value, to be sure, but one that's hard to argue with.

The Palm V shares the same improvements to its screen that were made to the Palm IIIx. The screen is sharp and has contrast-variable backlighting, which makes the Palm V easy to use in low-light conditions. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which charge while the unit sits in its HotSync cradle, make battery life a nonissue. (The Palm III series uses alkaline batteries.)

We had no trouble setting up the Palm V, synching it with our PC-based Netscape e-mail, using the Graffiti handwriting-recognition software, or working with the Address Book, Date Book, Memo Writer, To-Do List, and all the other applications that put the Palm OS on the map. The Palm V comes with 2 MB of nonexpandable memory, a tradeoff for its slim design. While less than ideal, the memory limitation doesn't seem to be significant in practice--3Com rates the unit for 6,000 addresses, five years' worth of appointments, 1,500 to-dos and memos, and 200 e-mails.

All in all, this is a great and fun-to-use member of the family of organizers that has become the most popular in the world. If this is your first Palm, it's a great way to start.

Pros:

Small, highly portable
Handsome design
Sharp, backlit screen
Rechargeable batteries

Cons:

Memory isn't upgradable

Customer Reviews:

Best handheld ever.......2000-07-16

I've tried a few organizers previously, including the Visor and this is the best so far. However, even this device has its drawbacks. For starters, the screen can be hard to read, the backlighting does not help except in total darkness. The applications could do with some improvements, Visor has improved calendar and to do lists. I miss those. Visor also has faster syncing, believe me you'll appreciate it when you are syncing 8MB of data. Those are my gripes. Apart from that, this is the most practical organizer ever, I can carry it everywhere with me. The form factor is great and it does whatever I needs it to do.

Nice Tool!.......2000-07-01

The Palm V has been a terrific tool for keeping names, addresses, phone numbers, appointments and other information I need to keep with me. I like the way it fits into my pocket, but would like a thin protective case that's not bulky. I disagree with the comment about visibility in low light. It's not easy to view. Even in normal lighting conditions, I find myself shifting it around to find the right angle where it's visible without a lot of reflection. Still, overall, it's pretty great.

PALM V CONVENIENCE.......2000-06-30

I PERSONALLY THINK THAT HAVING A PALM V IS LIKE HAVING CONVENIENCE.IT VERY SMALL AND ABLE TO FIT IN YOUR POCKETS.I AM STILL WAITING TO GET ONE ,IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT I WILL BUY.THE ONLY OTHER DRAWBACK I HAVE IS THE MEMORY IS TOO SMALL 2MEG. FOR THE MONEY.PALM VX HAS MORE MEMORY BUT EXPENSIVE. I THINK I WANT TO SPEND ABOUT $200.00,HOPE IT'S NOT A LONG WAIT. EWART.CALIFONIA

Palm V is great.......2000-06-30

It costs more than the Palm IIIx, has half the memory size, and it cannot use as many of the third-party peripherals and accessories available to the rest of the PalmPilot family.

But it's smaller, easier to read (the screen rocks) and now can be recharged internationally. It's much sleeker than any of the competition, but the memory can be a problem if you want to drag around more than 200 emails. If you're on the ball and keep your inbox pretty clear, you'll be straight.

I recently received my palm V cradle with hotsync serial cable attached. No problem on that end but when i inspected the charger's cord that is supposed to plug into the cradle there was no opening to be found?? what am i supposed to do with a charger that i cant plug into my cradle??

NOT USB COMPATIBLE- DON'T BUY THIS.......2003-08-13

with usb, you just have to simply plug it in and it charges for you.
however with the com port charger, this is so unstable and disfunctional.
If you can, please get the USB compatible hotsync cradle charger.
it is so much smaller and you won't regret like i am right now.
Sincerely,

A must if you use your Palm at home and the office........2002-05-04

If you're like me, you use two or more PC's over the course of a normal workday and you use your PalmVx religiously. Your Palm already came with one cradle, but you really need an extra to ensure all your PC's are in sync.

What more can be said...it's the same high quality and easy to use charging cradle that came with your Palm. Mostly a convenience thing for casual users, but for those who use their Palms alot, you need an extra. Pick one up now while they're still available.

Simple and effective! :-).......2002-02-16

I have never seen a better product similar to this one before. My cell phone battery lasts less time than my palm Vx, and yet it takes longer than with this charger. This charger, with average use, takes only about two minutes to charge, and syncs with the computer at blazing speeds. Great product!

Amazon.com Review

Tired of using the stylus for tedious "typing" and handwriting on your Palm V 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.

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 advise 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
Attractive styling matches the Palm V

Cons:

Cannot rest keyboard on your lap
Lightweight construction

Amazon.com Product Description

Customer Reviews:

Excellent keyboard.......2007-07-13

I was very pleased with this product. It worked beautifully.
Unfortunately it could not be used with newer PDA's.

Very satisfied.......2004-01-09

I am still a Palm Vx user and I just got the keyboard. It really makes data entry much more efficient. I can write my e-mails on my Palm now! Make sure you get a Palm brand keyboard, the imitations might not be so good as stated in other reviews. No problems with setup. The keyboard is very light as well. I would definitely recommend it. And I got it for a very very reasonable price from amazon.com merchant.

Great For Taking Notes.......2002-12-01

I bought this keyboard about a month after I bought my Palm Vx. It's been one of the best investments I've made for my Palm. It's so much easier than the graffiti or the onscreen keyboard. It feels more natural and comfortable and is great for taking notes. A must have for any Palm V or Vx owner who uses it for any kind of writing.

Makes your Palm more powerful.......2002-09-25

Typing with the PPK is FAR faster and more accurate than Graffiti. This opens up a lot of possibilities for using your Palm. For example, I had great difficulty in the past using my Palm for meeting notes, because it was difficult to scribble in Graffiti and keep up.

This keyboard is very portable. It folds up to a thick palm-sized unit and comes with a nice little case to put it in.

PROS: The keyboard feels very nice. The keys are somewhat flat (like a typical laptop keyboard) but pretty well-spaced and you have a nice selection of extra buttons like arrow keys, application buttons for each of the 4 standard Palm Apps and the silkscree buttons, and Fn, Alt, and Cmd keys. Using the Fn, Alt, and Cmd keys with other keys, you can do some interesting things like triggering certain standard buttons like "New", "Delete", "Details", "OK", etc... There's one that toggles the backlight and another one that inserts the Palm shortcut symbol (the PPK combined with a nice set of shortcuts for commonly used words and phrases could probably lead to even higher efficiency on the Palm than on your desktop?!?! You could even try using something like WordComplete, TextPlus, or LookDA to do word completion although this might be too intrusive). For greater keyboard efficiency, I'd recommend getting Paul Nevai's LaptopHack - well worth the $15 or so for registering this shareware. It allows you to do a whole bunch of things on the keyboard that you couldn't normally do.

CONS: It must rest on a hard surface (difficult to support it steadily on your lap) or carry around unfolded. I wish it had an extra port so that you could plug it into your computer and still do a Hotsync while using the keyboard.

All in all, a nice addition.

Great for Students.......2002-04-28

I'm a student(a freshman) and find it very useful for taking notes and writing papers instead of using the school computers I just type on it and beam it to one of the printers. It's full sized and very comfortable the only thing is it is lightwieght construction and not sure how durable it is but I don't take those chances. It holds up well under my usage.
