Best Palm OS PDA out there
, October 4, 2003Reviewer: Bombadier - See all Bombadier's reviews25 of 26 Yahoo! Users found this Palm Zire 71 review helpfulPros: LOTS of features
Cons: No video capabilities with built-in camera
After being made aware of all the features this PDA has when compared to it's price, this is by far and away the best buy out there right now. The camera is great for taking impromptu pictures, but a portrait camera it is not. It did come in very handy, however, when I took my daughter to Disneyland....lasted ALL day. Be sure to give the camera a few seconds to adjust to the light level...Great for indoor shots too.
The built-in MP3 player and hi-resolution color display is fantastic. It does very well on battery life, although I wouldn't recommend using the external speaker for too long, as I've found this is the biggest battery drainer.
My only suggestion for improvement is they could somehow put a "reset" pin built into the stylus or something, as I have on a few occasions had the unit lock up on me and I was not able to reset the unit because I couldn't find anything small enough to fit through the little hole.
If you're looking for your first PDA, this is a fantastic place to start. Very user friendly, good styling, intuitive interface and an overall terrific value. ...

The design is lightweight, sleek, attractive, and fun. The color screen is bright and provides high quality, sharp images (and fairs much better in sunlight than previous color screens).
Theres only two complaints: 1) The case that comes with the Palm is terrible. Everytime I slip my Palm in, it turns it on...so expect to purchase a new carrying case if this will bother you. 2) Beware of Palm customer service. I previously had a Palm IIIc, which I dropped accidently (after the 1-year warranty was over) and it froze. I called Palm Tech Support and there was a $25 charge to troubleshoot over the phone and $125 fee to have it sent it to be fixed. What a rip off! ...
