Good for what it is, 2008-01-12
I loved this product. It kept me organized and on-time. Syncing was a breeze. And as always with me, the price was right. I used this until I upgraded to the Palm Z99. It would have been nice if the screen was backlit but that's one of the reasons I upgraded to the Z99.

 Fantasic Value !, 2007-07-09
Just a quick note to say I purchased the IIIxe as a refurbished unit and it is great. Not a problem at all. Not even a scratch on it! Sturdy design and you feel like you've got something powerful in your hand when you use it. Looks like something built to MIL specs - which is good. The only 'flaw' was the graffiti took some getting use since it is an older version of the software - at least I imagine that is the issue.
All-in-all .....great purchase and unit!

 Might be nice if it worked, 2006-01-28
I ordered this from a reseller, cg_enterprises@tds.net. The unit arrived without a cradle to charge it. I emailed the reseller and was told it would be sent overnight. Four days later it has not arrived. When I contacted the reseller again, I received the following professional response: "Bite Me!".
So if you buy one of these used be careful!

long time user.., 2005-02-23
I still use my palm IIIxe.. bought it in 2001 from Amazon. Actually this is my second one, my first one bit the dust, so I bought a refurb for $39.00 and it synced up with the 4.1 OS... it is great for addresses and calendar + todos... I also type memos with a keyboard when I'm in the field. Also this is used daily from am to pm... at night I dl avantgo and read news from the otherside of the world before bed...
I'm a broadcast engineer with high end editing systems that I built myself and I keep watching for something that I can replace this workhorse with, but no go so far! The long battery life and using nimh AAAs is the clincher, just can't beat the little rascle.
The HP jornada line with the instant on and long battery life have caught me eye, but I don't care for windows CE.

Quality But No Frills PDA, 2005-02-22
I just bought this PDA used from Amazon and I'm pretty pleased with it. It's not color which I don't care about, but I am having a bit of a hard time seeing the screen well. I have had a terrible time getting it to synch correctly with Outlook and I couldn't get it to synch at all with Palm Desktop 3.5.3. No clue what the problem is, but after 2 hours trying to figure it out, I just gave up. I use Outlook Express, not Outlook and it took a lot of trial and error, but I can get it to synch names and addresses, but I can NOT get email to work since i don't use Outlook as my default mail handler. So..if that fits your situation and you want to synch for email and download from AVantgo, then do not buy this. However, I just want it for names and addresses to replace an old trusty Sharp Wizard that they don't make anymore. I really loved my Sharp though. What i like about the Palm IIIxe is that it's battery-operated (2 AAAs)- i honestly don't even fathom why people complain about this feature - they're nuts. The battery operated PDAs are the way to go because they can last forever in your purse and you don't have to remember to charge it. If the battery is dead while you're on the go - just run to a convenience store and buy AAAs. That simple. The Palm IIIxe seems pretty sturdy, but we'll see in the long run. Either with Palm or Sharp, this beats carrying around a paper and pencil organizer. The person I bought from on Amazon was great and honest too.
