Digital camera reviews of PalmOne Vx Handheld
Digital camera Review: old, but it's still a great PDA!
Summary: 4 Stars
while I haven't actually had the palm Vx, I have the IBM Workpad c3, which is the same thing painted black with the IBM logo on it.I think it's great, and for it's price, it's easily affordable to everybody. it's got 8 MB of memory, which is more than the old zire and the same as the new one. the only things I don't like about it is that there are no expansion slots or earphone jacks.
another thing that sucks is that after a while of being in my pocket(about 1.5 years) the buttons get loose. that might be because of all the subhunt playing, but I'm not sure. the two outside buttons got loose and the datebook one gets wedged into the case a lot. otherwise, I love it.
Digital camera Review: A great PDA.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Palm Vx has a great amount of memory. I have a ton of applications I downloaded off the internet. I still have about 2.3 MB left. It has good graphics, but it doesn't have a color screen. It seems like it is a stable model and does not freeze up a lot. I also have not experienced any problems with the stylus or screen. It doesn't have "Dead Spots" (where the screen won't respond to the stylus.) Another problem is though that it has no expansion port for more memory, applications, and more. But I like it just fine without it. Overall, I think this is a great Palm, but for the color and memory expansion lovers you should try the M130, M515, and Tungsten's.Digital camera Review: Getting obsolete
Summary: 3 Stars
My first handheld device was a Vx.With its huge memory it was indeed one step ahead of its time.But with the introduction of the new,expandable,color-screen handhelds powered by ARM processors and PalmOS5.0,I'm sad to say,but it is getting obsolete by now. Those who do not need color screen and who do not want to pay much may still select to buy it.Indeed it has capabilities not so much less than the latest PDAs,but its multimedia capabilities are very poor with respect to,i.e. Sony Clie NX70V or Palm Tungsten-T.Digital camera Review: Palm has done it again!
Summary: 5 Stars
This handheld is made with great quality! I myself had a Palm M105 which has very similar stats. The Palm Vx is so much better made and the rechargible battery is awesome! I would recomend this to anybody who needs to get organized or just likes to play games in school or work!Digital camera Review: It's not a PDA, it's a WORKHORSE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my Palm Vx for almost 3 years now, and the only problems I've had with it have been some quirky behavior when I let the battery charge drop too low. Charge it up again (and it charges fast) and no problem. I travel a lot and I am forgetful too. I don't back up or charge the thing every day, so the super long battery life is a really big plus for me. Besides that, I think the Palm OS is excellent. It is simple and effective, and that's what I'm looking for in a handheld device. I have never had a problem with the OS in the 2+ years that I've had this thing. I use mine mostly for ebook reading, and it is amazing. I can store 10 novels in it no problem and still have plenty of memory left. People are amazed that I can read on it, but the text is about the same as in a normal novel. Plus you can read in the dark with the backlight!
I can also keep track of recipes, shopping lists, expenses, evereything. Just what these devices were intended for.
Honestly, I'm not some blindly devoted Palm fan. I am probably going to get rid of this one because I want to be able to listen to mp3s. This points out the MAJOR drawback of the Vx, which is that it is not expandable, and it is definitely not for any sort of multimedia use. It's really too bad, because in all other respects, it really rocks! I only hope that I can find a PDA that can play mp3s that is as reliable as my Palm Vx.
My girlfriend is going to be starting law school in the fall, and she uses an old beat up paper planner that she got for free from her college. This valentine's day she is getting a brand new Vx. and flowers of course :-)
