Palm Zire 21 - Great Basic PDA For Beginners

byKittyokc Nov 10, 2003
93 Helpfuls 94 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use and many applications.
Cons Screen is not backlit.
Recommended it? Yes

For someone needing a basic PDA, one without all the bells and whistles that the more expensive ones come with, the Palm Zire 21 will surely fit the bill. Instead of writing things down on pieces of paper, that usually get misplaced, you can input all the things you need to do, notes and grocery... Read full review »

Pros Price, power, 8MB or RAM, Palm OS 5.2.1
Cons No backlight, limited expansion options, PIM software not updated like Tungsten E/T3
Recommended it? Yes

Personally, I would have never bought this unit since it would not fit my particular uses... but through the palmpaysback referral system, I picked one of these units up to play with.

Anyone who has read my prior reviews knows that I blasted the original Palm Zire model... however,... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

It has been 3 years that I resisted temptation to get a new PDA, mainly because my Sony Clie PEG-NX60 did such a great job with my daily routine that it simply wasn't necessary for another incremental improvement for a significant expense.

Pros WiFi and Bluetooth, 4GB hard drive
Cons Battery life is an issue
Recommended it? Yes

My teenage daughter has been bugging me for months now to get her a laptop or PDA so she could use it for her school work. I guess I waited a bit too long to get her one before school got out since she has less than two weeks to go before summer vacation. I decided that the laptop was going to be... Read full review »
