    With a bluetooth phone this thing rocks.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 14, 2004 | 6 out of 7 found this Palm Zire 72 review helpful

    Pros: bluetooth, Web Pro browser, SMS, VersaMail, screen, 32 MB, camera

    Cons: paint probs (on some), crappy camera

    GET THIS PDA IF YOU ARE SHOPPING FOR ONE. I own a ton of PDAs (an addict) and I can't tell you how much fun this one is. The screen is amazing (as good as their Zire 71), the 32 MB RAM is great (lotsa storage for a Palm box), and the built in sof...tware is amazing. Documents to Go, SDIO, Versamail, Web Pro, SMS, the new datebook. This baby has it all. The only other Palm-based PDAs that compare are the Tungsten T3, the Sony Clie TH-55, and the Treo 600. Setting up the Web access is a pain but if you can figure it out you feel like a free spirit. I really must commend Palm for creating this great little device. I'm still exploring the real worth of PDAs outside the address book and some freeware games. Hopefully I'll figure out how to get movies on here courtesy of mmplayer and some free encoders (currently a total P.I.A. even with www.doom9.org's help). Oh yea, the 1.2 megapixel camera is more novelty than feature; the quality is horrendous. But as with all things horrid, someone out there with an artistic eye will no doubt figure out how to capitalize on it. In other words, ART photos, not snapshots. Read more Less

    Big bang for the buck

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 16, 2005 | 4 out of 4 found this Palm Zire 72 review helpful

    Pros: Too many to list

    Cons: Can't think of any

    My Zire 72 has been my faithful companion since the day I got it out of the box. I am an Engineer and this little guy will do anything from downloading CNC programs to machining centers, storing Engineeering calculations and reference material, helpi...ng me with scheduling all the way to storing my favorite food and drink recipes. I even videotaped my son's wedding with it (long story).All the contacts I had written down on my Franklin Planner are now live on the 72, and the notepad feature has replaced the bulky paper notepds I used to carry around from meeting to meeting. The buit in cameras are truly amazing (zoom would be nice)and will come in handy often. If you are looking for a reasonably priced PDA that is easy to use, reliable, extremely useful no matter what your lifestyle is, you cannot go wrong with the Zire 72. I love it. Read more Less

    Zire 72s a great toy

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 10, 2005 | 3 out of 3 found this Palm Zire 72 review helpful

    Pros: calendar, sharp display, realplayer, Docs to go

    Cons: support, add ons expensive

    After reading reviews for the Zire 72, I opted buying the 72s, which is the special edition. The only thing different is the silver color instead of the blue paint everyone gripes about. I love the calendar. It is easy to use and sync with desktop. ...I also use the MP3 alot. Sound is better quality than expected. The video feature is ok. Daytime outdoor video is really the only thing practical for use. Indoor is very poor without perfect lighting. This would be the same for pics. I used it alot over vacation outdoors and it was great, but there is no flash, so indoor vids/pics are pretty much out of the question. The only problem I have experienced is with the hotsync feature. I can no longer download media from my palm to my desktop. This would not seem to be a huge deal, but Palm support costs something like $80 a year of $20 for a single call. I have used thier online FAQ's but haven't found anything to fix it. That has been a bummer. I spent $250 for the unit at Best Buy and it came with a charger and software. I bought a 1GB mem card for $90, a wireless keyboard for $35 and a leather case for $15 on EBay. It does come with a crap velcrow case that is almost useless. I am a college student who uses the Palm mostly for scheduling, the MP3 feature and occasionally excel and word. It has been fun playing with and would be perfect if it wasn't for this silly glitch I can't get rid of myself. Read more Less

    Problem and no response

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 1, 2005 | 2 out of 2 found this Palm Zire 72 review helpful

    Pros: Easy to use, great features

    Cons: Blue coating comes off quickly

    This PDA is great, but has one major problem. The blue coating on the front of the PDA starts to peel off within the first few months of use, even with very careful handling. I attempted to contact Palm One to get it fixed, but got no help or respons...e. I also tried the company I bought it from, but no response there either. The price is not cheap, but the peeling off appearance is! Palm One should repace these for those of us who purchased them! Read more Less

    Pros: --

    Cons: no phones

    overally, zire 72 cannot kick off the pocket PCs, but for web surfing that is many's favourite and it is 250-300usd cheaper than pocket PCs.
