I bought this little PDA because of its low price. At the time, I was not sure if I need a PDA or not, so I bought it to see if I can get used with the idea. Later on I was going to upgrade to a more sophisticated model, if I decided that PDA is what I need to put some order in my mess.The quality of the image is very poor, and the features are not impressive at all.Let's say that my Samsung t629 phone is almost as smart as this device, and has more memory and better picture quality.
The problems started right away, and they ended the day I sold the unit.
Obviously, there are some basic features (memo pad, tasks, calculator, alarm, etc), which can be found on any decent organizer. I wanted to install on it some more advanced features, like a budget manager for instance. Therefore I ordered the software, but it never worked. Moreover, I was endlessly ping-ponged between Palm's Customer Support and the software producer.None of them was able to detect the issue and come up with a resolution.None of them was willing to refund me, or to do anything to alleviate the problem. Palm was blaming Element 5, and Element 5 was blaming Palm for my issues. None of them formerly apologized for the inconvenience.The worse happened after a month of intense efforts....My credit card was charged again, for the same amount I paid for the software (40 bucks). At that point my patience came to an end. I requested a full refund, but nobody answered my e-mails,and the phone calls were again passed from Palm to Element 5 and back. Therefore I got in touch with my credit card company and reported both transcations as frauds. I sold the PDA and bought a HP instead.
I'm sure my case is not a singular one, so my advice is to think twice before you spend the money. You may just waste a hundred bucks, just as I did.
