Amazon.com Review At only 4.7 by 3.2 inches square and 0.4 inches thick, the Palm Vx handheld is truly pocket sized; however, this model sports a hefty 8 MB of RAM. The Palm Vx handheld also sports a sleek exterior that looks supercool--an intangible value to be sure, but one that's hard to argue with. The Palm Vx handheld offers the same improvements to its screen that were made to the Palm IIIx. These updates since the Palm III handheld include a far sharper screen and contrast-variable backlighting, which makes the Palm Vx handheld much easier to use in low-light conditions. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which charge while the unit sits in its HotSync cradle, make battery life a nonissue. You can synchronize Palm handhelds with your computer so that you can carry all your appointments, notes, contacts, and e-mail with you. The simple one-touch interface makes sense to new and seasoned computer users alike. For owners that prefer Microsoft Outlook to keep tabs on folks for business and pleasure, rest easy. With the simple installation procedure, and Outlook support out of the box, you can transfer the data you have in Outlook, or start fresh with the Palm Desktop software. In addition, there are thousands of applications for the Palm operating system available on the Internet that make your Palm handheld work as everything from a universal remote to a digital book and restaurant guide. We had no trouble setting up the device, synching with our PC-based Netscape e-mail, using the Graffiti character-recognition software, or working with the address book, date book, memo writer, to-do list, and all the other applications that put the Palm OS on the map. All in all, this is a great upgrade to an already strong product. If this is your first Palm, it's a great way to start. Pros: - Palm OS interface is simple to use
- Easy to install and set up
- Uses rechargeable batteries
- Sleek, solid design can take some punishment
Cons: - Not expandable (has a closed case)
- Case cover opens too easily
Product Description Beneath its sleek, anodized aluminum exterior and elegant leather screen cover is a power-house of an organizer. Palm Vx connected organizer has enough memory to hold everything you want to pack into it - calendar, address book, to do lists, expense items, memos and e-mail messages - plus a host of applications. All instantly available with a tap on the screen. Add business, financial, language and travel, time and expense or custom applications. Or choose from a long list of personal productivity applications - even games - to truly customize your organizer. Want to track your golf scores? You can. The backlit LCD screen lets you see all that information with razor sharp clarity. The long-life rechargeable lithium ion battery lets you take it on the road for weeks at a time without recharging. If you've got plenty to organize and want to do it in style, choose the Palm Vx connected organizer.

no recharger August 26, 2009 AR (Israel) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Upon receiving the palmone, I noticed there was no recharger. Since then I have been trying to purchase one in my country, but was told that this is an old model and they don't sell such rechargers. (I had to pay a more for the delivery than for the palmone, so I didn't want to order one through amazon). So, I can't even turn on the palmone...
outdated technology July 6, 2009 Raymond W. Weeden 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The product works as stated.Whether it's productive to use will have to be determined. Reason for purchase was to have something inexpensive to use instead of a laptop computer when on the road.
the best pda ever made June 13, 2009 kc0nlh 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have had my Palm Vx since late 2006. I am still using it today, June 2009. I would love to now upgrade to a color Palm. However, I am very fearful that I will not find another PDA which offers the durability and longevity I've received from my current Palm. I will continue to use my Palm Vx until it dies - permanently.
Bad purchase it did not work September 28, 2008 Eduard Fimbres 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This item did not work I will never buy a refurbished item from Amazon. The screen freezes among other things. It should have been tested before shipped out.

I was able to get my old unit in good working order. I now have two Vx Handhelds that are working very well. I am very satisfied.
