 Exactly what I wanted, 2008-08-03
I needed a replacement for a 6yr old PDA and this fits the bill exactly. I'm not interested in a combo phone/PDA/MP3 player/email. I don't want to access the web on a handheld just yet. I need to be able to organize my day efficiently and have every conceivable note at hand. Anything I want to look up beyond the standard address book, I put into a memo here. I even have a complete catalog of my knitting needles. Saves me from standing in the yarn shop trying to remember what I have at home. All my airline membership nbrs and those of my family are in here. I love the compact size, that it fits so nicely into my purse.
 Palm, 2008-08-02
This product sucks. The internal re-chargable battery needs to be charged frequently. Recently it died now it won't sink to the data from my PC.
Buy something else. My wife has an older Palm model and she doesn't need to charge it nearly as much.
Why they didn't make it to accept dry cell batteries I'll never know.
Sorry Palm you used to make good products. Maybe you should consider making them in the USA and not from "You know where"
Should have listened to the other reviews, 2008-07-31
There are quite a bit of reviews which state how this thing fails after a short period. I have bought several palmpilots over the years ranging from under $100 to over $500. I'm tired of them dying. The Z22 died on me within 2 months. I didn't drop it or anything. The screen just went blank one day and never came back. Last year a bought a cheap palm pilot for about $25 and I could not be happier. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but it keeps lists, has a phone book, and has alarms. I realized it's all I need.

Can't live with this little thing, 2008-07-28
I have the original Zire, and then Zire 22 for years. I have changed phones many times through out the years, but not this little palm. This little thing is most reliable. It is very light weight and keeps me organized, no maintenace and cheap. The battery seems last forever - weeks or months which I loose track

Perfectly satisfactory., 2008-07-27
When I was working, all my business was conducted in front of a computer -desktop at work or home office, or at a VPN-connected laptop. I had no real use for a PDA.
Now I'm retired, very active in volunteer work, and often in circumstances where I have no laptop or desktop, and so am without my calendar. My wife said now that I'm mobile, I need a mobile calendar.
So I went shopping for a calendar that could fit my shirt pocket, sync with my Outlook calendar, and replace the 3x5 cards it would be displacing in my pocket. I ended up buying the Palm Z22, and am perfectly satisfied so far.
I received it the day before a 4-day "business" trip. The little thing is easy enough to learn that I was able to load the Z22 calendar from my desktop Outlook, make new appointments on the road, write memos and notes, and then resync with the desktop when I got back, without doing any heavy-duty training or manual reading. The included onboard "Quick Tour" showed me everything I needed to know to make the Z22 useful.
I bought the 3235WW Air Case for the Z22. Unlike many, I have no problem opening it. I don't know whether the mold changed, QA inmproved, or I'm just lucky. There also seems to be no problem with stylus registration or wavering. Also, no problem with Vista: having been alerted by previous reviewers, I downloaded the current version of the Palm Desktop, installed it, and everything is fine.
I bought 2 sets of extra styluses (styli?) just because. Eventually I'll train myself so the Z22 can read my writing unerringly, but so far it does a better job of that than I do. I will also probably by an extra set of screen protectors.
I make appointments on the run without having to say "let me call you when I can check my calendar." I did away with my pocket full of notecards and now take notes I can transfer directly to my computer without transcribing. As a bonus, I have a contact list and task list that are synced to my desktop / laptop, a syncable expense record (for tax-deductible in-kind contributions), and a calculator that takes no extra pocket space.
Someday I may want a PDA that is an internet capable SmartPhone with USB infrared blue teeth, WiFi, GPS, foldout or virtual keyboard, remote TV controls, video camera, virtual display screen, heart rate monitor and calorie burn rate counter, Dance Revolution, home entertainment center and blender and espresso maker.
OTOH, I might end up with a pocket of 3x5 cards again.
But for now, the Z22 does what I got it for, a little bit more, and is not loaded with stuff I don't need and is easy to learn. Perfect for my first PDA. Tag me well pleased.
