My wife was so excited before Christmas; she'd been researching handhelds for months, and had finally found the perfect one for me. A Sony Clie PEG-NX80V. Unfortunately, the company from which she ordered it waited until 2 days before Christmas to tell her they were out of stock. Nobody else had... Read full review »

I bought the Zire 72 in order to have a PDA to use mostly for contact lists and information, not for any computer power on its own, not even for email. So the basic function list and price point was what drew me to this model. And I had had a very positive prior experience with Palm products, as an... Read full review »

This is the first review I have ever written for Epinions, but after seeing that the Zire 72 only had one review, I felt that this product deserves even more praise! I have had the Zire 72 Special Edition for a little more than a month, and so far am very happy with it. I am definitely a first... Read full review »

When you think of next generation technology Palm is one of the first companies that spring to mind. Well, Palm is back with force as they try and set the benchmark with their Palm Zire™ 72 Special Edition. With heavy competition out there how does Palm stack up?

I bought a second hand Zire 72 after giving up on HP honoring their product warranty. I'd had nothing but trouble with HP PDAs and the HP warranties aren't worth the paper they're printed on, so I figured I'd try out a Palm product.

I searched models, and found the Zire 72 had a lot of... Read full review »

I got a good deal on the sire 72 but I didn't get everything I wanted. It doesnt have wi-fi capabilities unless you buy a $75 wi-fi SDIO card. If you do this it limits what you can save since it has 25mb of internal storage. I had no problems hotsyncing my data but when it came to surfing the web... Read full review »

I have to agree with makowals full review. I have some additional comments and points of agreement.

As in the fashion world, it pays to accessorize!

The unit alone, along with the integrated and optional software from the accompanying CD, makes this a wonderful business or... Read full review »

Cons Might be a bit pricey for those seeking to spend under $150.

Palm has now been in the PDA game for many years. The makers of the original Palm Pilot have been through many generations of the handheld electronic organizer, many of which I've owned. In the Zire 72s, a lot of the flaws in previous Palm units are corrected in a stylish package that will satisfy... Read full review »
