Cons: 2-tone screen, limited after-market upgrades available from Palm

Is this thing a bargain, or what?

Pros: small, light, easy to use, tons of memory, lots of available programs
Cons: no AC adapter available, email function could use some modifications

Well, my yuppinization has finally become complete, thanks to Aunt Lorna and Grandma. This year, on Cinco De Mayo, I graduated from law school and as a gift I received a Palm IIIxe from the aforementioned. I had never even given a thought to buying one...

Pros: Powerful, easy to use
Cons: Interface quirks, LCD is too sensitive

I tried hard to avoid this purchase but I finally gave in. I initially purchased a Palm IIIe but realized it only synched with the mail feature of Outlook and I needed to synch with the whole MS Outlook package. Rather than upgrade the software I...

Cons: No in-the-box USB solution, No in-the-box carrying case

Cons: Display is inferior to that of the Palm V, and other b&w WinCE devices

I received a Palm IIIxe as a Christmas Gift. Boy was I surprised

This palm exists to help simplify your business life. If you deal with lots of information, you will find out the usefulness of the Palm IIIxe. Most business people use organizers to keep track of their appointments, names of important business...

Pros: Packed with features, and a great value to boot
Cons: Not the cheapest or most stylish Palm around

I finally decided to get a Palm, after listening to my significant other rave about hers. (More on that later.) But which? The sleek Vx? The oh-so-wired VIIx? The budget IIIe? The new m100? In the end, I decided on a IIIxe - just like hers.
