PDAs : Palm Zire 71

The function buttons and the navigator button turn the unit on when it slips into the case. I lost all data on one occasion and had no power on another. I returned the unit to the store. But for this problem, I liked the features. Hide Full Review

Excellent palm, true pda will turn on from the poorly positioned on switch but if you turn the screen saver on at 1 minute it usually won't impact battery life. The camera pictures are good enough to use in power point presentations. The mp3 player is wonderful although tricky to start using. Its an excellent pda. I've had poor support for applications on the sd card. Check to make you you get the latest version of applications to take full advantage of card. Hide Full Review

I have enjoyed the small zire 71 since June of 2003. I took quickly to the new graffitti two, and the digital camera built in. All the features are easy to use and files transfer quickly without problem. I will eventually purchase a new stylus b/c the standard plastic pen is not heavy enough for my taste. I have watched my friends and co-workers struggle with where to place and store their larger pda's but mine fits perfectly in my carry case and never gets in the way of daily tasks. Thank goodness palm made an entry level unit with so many extras. Hide Full Review

I too have had a problem with the power. I lost all of my after market programs and data. The web site states that the memory should keep for 5 days on a dead battery. That isn't the case. I returned the unit to Best Buy and they gave me a brand new one. Haven't experimented with that yet. Hide Full Review
