byDargen Dec 31, 2005

97 Helpfuls 98 Helpfuls

Pros Bright screen, weight, size

Cons Hotsync, screen calibration

Recommended it? Yes

In early September my 2 year old Palm Zire 71 fried itself. One day it was charging, got really hot, and simply stopped working. I knew it was coming. For a couple weeks the battery didn't hold a charge and always felt warm, so when the PDA finally fried, I was little more than annoyed.

Pros Perfect for everything I need.

Cons None at all.

Recommended it? Yes

I am an avid reader and I do have books all over the house so many that my husband has started complaining. I can throw away a lot of things, but books aren't one of them. There isn't a second-hand bookstore in the area where I live so that I can exchange the books. My friends don't read so that... Read full review »
