Zire 72 passes for the price

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you are willing to sacrifice space get this palm for its other features. Hit up online message boards for help configuring the Bluetooth.
Review: I got a good deal on the sire 72 but I didn't get everything I wanted. It doesnt have wi-fi capabilities unless you buy a $75 wi-fi SDIO card. If you do this it limits what you can save since it has 25mb of internal storage. I had no problems...

My 1st PDA

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2005
Review: I just received this PDA for my birthday. I wanted something to keep all of my appointments in order.

This PDA is very easy to use. I love the color screen and the different options, i.e. the different fonts and color themes. My absolute...

Palm Zire 72s: "Silver" Is Gold

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: The Zire 72s is a stylish Palm that corrects many of Palm's earlier missteps. Its beautiful color LCD, SD card slot, and digital camera make this a must-have.
Review: Palm has now been in the PDA game for many years. The makers of the original Palm Pilot have been through many generations of the handheld electronic organizer, many of which I've owned. In the Zire 72s, a lot of the flaws in previous Palm units are...

Do not like it

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: Lower price point, but poor design.
Review: I bought the Zire 72 in order to have a PDA to use mostly for contact lists and information, not for any computer power on its own, not even for email. So the basic function list and price point was what drew me to this model. And I had had a very...

Nice PDA

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2005
Review: I have been using PDA's since the beginning. I recently switched to the HP Ipaq 6315 smartphone which I have reviewed here as well. I purchased the Zire 72 when it came out and loved it for about 3 days. This is truly a very nice PDA. It's downfall...

Works great except for stylus

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2006
Review: I've had the 72s for a few months now and I love it. For me the most useful feature compared to my old Palm 100 is the lowly voice recorder, which I use to make mental notes while driving. The camera works well for its size to and it has the other...

Do All Your Small Chores and Remember Everything

Good mid level PDA, solid performer

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: Cool mid range PDA with lots of goodies. (no Wifi)
Review: The good: This is a good PDA in this price range. I replaced an old Sony Clie PEG-S320, a black/white PDA. After some research, I got a Palm Zire 72s. The first thing I liked about this PDA is that it has a beautiful screen! The processor is...

Perfection in the palm of your hand

Date of Review:  Sep 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: As as PDA, I give this full marks. If you need internet and phone, you might consider a Treo or other model. Ergonomics are good, many features. Fun to use
Review: I had a Palm III followed by a Palm V and I was pretty pleased with both these older model PDAs. After some study, I opted for a Palm Zire 72 and I am very pleased with the features.

Important to me, the Zire 72 has Palm's suite of...

It does everything I need and so much more.

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a full-featured PDA with lots of neat gizmos built in, you will be hard pressed to find a better one.
Review: My wife was so excited before Christmas; she'd been researching handhelds for months, and had finally found the perfect one for me. A Sony Clie PEG-NX80V. Unfortunately, the company from which she ordered it waited until 2 days before Christmas to...
