Palm Zire 71 PDA

Palm Zire 71 PDA

Strengths: Ease of use, high resolution screen, built in camera.

Weakness: Lack of accessories because it's too new.

I LOVE my Zire 71. I went to the store to look at the Palm m515, and ended up checking out the Zire 71. Wow! I use it A LOT. I take pictures of EVERYTHING. The desktop software downloads the pictures from the Palm and is VERY easy to use and email pictures to friends and family. The size is about the same as the Palm Vx I had before and the Palm m515 I was thinking about buying. The SD memory...

Palm Zire 71 PDA

Strengths: Versatility, brilliant color screen, speed of processor, and expandability.

Weakness: Thickness, short notice of low power (and camera inoperability)

I have now had my Zire71 for three months and treasure it as much as I did when it was new. I upgraded from a Palm Vx and have been really pleased with my Zire71. The speed of the processor is great and allows me to use many different kinds of applications quickly. I love having a camera at the ready though I have lost functionality of the camera more than a few times because of the low battery...

Palm Zire 71 PDA

Strengths: The screen, the screen, the screen. Everthing about it.

Weakness: Give me a break.

I upgraded from the Palm IIIc and, wow, the screen is gorgeous! It is speedy in accessing programs. It even hotsyncs faster, the USB is so much better than the old serial connection. After my wife saw it, she told me I'd have to get another Palm, because she wouldn't be giving it back. She had the Palm IIIx, previously. The camara is a great addition, excellent for snap shots. Graffiti2 takes a...

Palm Zire 71 PDA

Strengths: HotSync was a breeze. Screen is easy to read. Many of the functions were intuitive for PC users. Battery lasted well over the weekend for recharging on Monday.

Weakness: Waiting for more accessories. It would be nice to have printed user guide.

This is my first PDA and no regrets. The hardcase that came with the unit is excellent. Can't wait to get the GPS and Wine Spectator expansion.

Palm Zire 71 PDA

Strengths: Powerfull, fast, very good screen with clear colors. Really works in-sinc with my pc

Weakness: Could be a bit slimmer

Since I bought it it has been all that I hoped for. I can really make it work with my pc at the office. This is the first PDA I buy, and the ease of use is amazing. And the camera is useful and fun, I can send the pictures over the internet to my frinds without having to buy a digital camera. ven my kids love.

Palm Zire 71 PDA

Strengths: clear screen, programmable buttons, fun camera

Weakness: wish charger would plug directly into palm for travel

I like navigating with the new joy stick, but I wish it were more universal between applications. I also have an application I am always in & I was able to program that to the star button for quick access-BONUS!

Palm Zire 71 PDA

Strengths: handy camera

Weakness: never works when i need it, because the battery runs down so quickly!

I wouldn't buy this again and I definitely would not recommend it. I work in medicine. I depend heavily on my PDA, but this one has not been dependable! I would say that 2 out of 3 times that I go to turn it on AFTER CHARGING IT ALL NIGHT, it's dead. I do not know what is draining the battery. I keep it in the case. It's EXTREMELY frustrating. i was excited when I got it, but now I'm so disgusted...

Palm Zire 71 PDA

Strengths: Bright screen. expandable with SD cards.World clock feature is great item for frequent fliers.

Weakness: Slippery exterior prone to being dropped. Hot synch operation takes many hours to load mp3 songs on to 256 MB card. Meager performance for audio output.

Upgrade from M500. Still waiting for more accessories to be introduced for this model. Purchased a card reader for loading mp3 to sd card. Speaker needs more oomph or the use of an add-on (none currently available) to be heard. Without this addition, a quiet setting is neccessary or the use of earphones.Expense module is restricted, not full featured as is needed.

Palm Zire 71 PDA

Strengths: Built-in-Camera with auto-light adjuster, mp3 player, hard back casing, great pixel resolution screen.

Weakness: Battery lasts about 3 days, no Blue-Tooth or Blue-Tooth compatible, need expansion card to play mp3's (which is expensive).

One of the best Palm Pilots I've ever had. Previously had a Palm m100. This is I by far the best deal I've ever gotten. Cheaper than the SONY NZ90.

Palm Zire 71 PDA

Strengths: Nice color screen, recharageable battries, USB cradle, mp3's, expansion card slot, digital camera.

Weakness: Cheesey stylus, camera has a one second pause before the picture is taken (makes it difficult to take people shots)

I love my Zire 71. The camera has come in very handy to capture a moment when you don't have a regular camera, and for emailing pictures to friends. The resoultion is not "print" quality but great for viewing on the palm or computer. I bought a 256MB SD card and use it to store mp3's, pictures, and wallpaper for ZLauncher. I can also backup my palm to the SD card without having my computer. I...
