Palm Zire 31
Price: $70.88 - $70.88
Sweet little palm09/01/04
- Pros:
- Small, light and a sufficient color screen
- Cons:
- screen not as big as the M500 series, would like those extra buttons back!
Awesome little machine. I was an avid user of the M500 series and loved my M515 until I lost it. It was good timeing though since the Zire 31 has just come out on the market. I purchased the zire 31 because it was very similar to my 515 in every way with the added bonus of the OS.5 software with the grafitti 2 and not to mention that it cost less than half of what I spent on the 515.
The casing is great, its small and sturdy. I have yet to notice any creeking sounds or a loose screen. The memory is very good for a budget PDA, could be better considering other products in this price range. under evry day use the 31 holds its own and then some. It is a great PDA and I would recomend it for the first time users and also cheap skates like me that, once upon a time spent way to much for PDA's in the past. You cant beat the price and the only think that would make the 31 perfect would be a hi-res screen!

Palm Zire 21
Price: $65.88 - $159
What! No Backlight?04/19/04
- Pros:
- Value, software, rechargable batteries
- Cons:
- No backlight
Great palm, the value is superb and cannot be beat for the basic hadndhelp pda. The ease of use and the 8mb of memmory is outstanding for the price. There is plenty of memory for a few games and also to read some e-books in your spare time. My only complaint is that there still is not a backlight just as the origional Zire. I would however recomend this palm to anybody on a budget. You can't go wrong! Just buy a lighted-pen-type stylus and you are good to go. The blue cover that comes with the Zire 21 is a good idea but cheap and gets in the way. It is better to purchase screen protectors or the Zire hard case to protect it.
