The Zire72 is a fun little multimedia PDA suitable for people who want to organize their daily activities and have a bit of fun along the way. I picked this PDA over the Sony Clie PEG37 because I liked its design and Bluetooh functionality. Aside from its dazzling screen and vibrant colors, the Zire72 does not excel at any particular area. Take for example, the digital camera. It is suitable for...
Strengths: This is a great PDA. Comes with all the bells and whistles.
Weakness: Needs a better case than the one that comes with it.
This PDA suits all the needs on a daily basis and is a great addition for a gadget junkie! The 32 mb of memory is a good start and can eaily be upgraded with expansion cards. The Palm One hard aluminum case is a good investment over the stock case. This PDA gets an A+.
Strengths: Color display, mp3 player, camera, ease of sync
Weakness: no flash for camera, tone controls for mp3 player, cover for power, usb expansion card slot and ear phone plug
As a former Zire 21 owner, this was a major upgrade for me. It took me about a year to exceed the memory capability of the Zire 21 and with no expansion capability, I wanted something that has become very helpful in organizing my work, home and son's hockey activities. I didn't want to pay the amount ($299) for a PDA but with the $50 rebate, free 512MB SD card (with a $15 rebate) it was very hard...
Strengths: Color Display & Brightness, Ease of Use and Nice add on software
Weakness: Camera could take better pictures
Upgraded from Palm Vx because of the fantastic display and ability to see and use it even in the dark. From past experience of Palm turning on in my pocketbook, I purchased the hard case and problem has been solved, that is really the way to go (as this also adds extra protection to the camera lens). I purchased mine from the Palm One site where they offered a limited edition Silver Metal model...
Strengths: Good color, ease of use
Weakness: After 3 moths the AC connection broke. I had to call India where I couldn't get any follow up. Poor Tecnical support. I even have extended warranty.
Try a brand with better support. A friend has a HP and they have been very helpful Tech support is just as important as the product.
Strengths: Just like the older zire 71 but much better. Bluetooth. Better sound. Farly stable.
Weakness: No WIFI integrated, and has document's to go standard version instead of pro version. Lack of access for additional battery. Still locks up. Camera is too slow and low quality lens.
Sturdy and well behaved. So far no problems with the software, bluetooth works great with my cell phone siemens s56. IR works great transfering all kinds of information. Better louder sound but speakers aren't loud enough, yet. I used to have the zire 71, and the new zire has improved everything that the old one did by far... But as all computer systems is not fail safe, yet. For what it is...
Strengths: Great PDA. Has everything that you could imagine on it already and is easily upgradable.
Weakness: After you own this PDA more than a week the blue grip flakes off and begins to look very bad.
It is good but the paint issue is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Functionally it is a 5, but overall, because of the look, it is a 4
Strengths: Lots of functions, good price
Weakness: Battery can not be replaced
Palm builds product with batteries that cannot be replaced. Batteries regardless of technology need replacing within a year of purchase. I bought the Zire 71 and now the battery needs replacing but I cannot. I should have bought a Pocket PC. Every vendor of Pocket PC, Cell phone and MP3 player all understand that batteries don't last forever. Palm does not understand this and I will never buy...
Strengths: Durability, Speed, Ease-of-use, Camera, Cost, audio recorder, High"Snazzy-ness factor"!
Weakness: No flip case, Needs longer Batt life, or changeable battery, the nav button is a bit finicky.
My old Palm 505 crashed one morning, and by that afternoon I was out of my depth trying to work without my "auxillary brain". Several of my co-workers had new I-paq units, but I'm not completely sold on the windows system for PDAs, it seems too "bulky". I went to the local store and after much seaching settled on the Zire72. I had not done my research, but it seemed right. I'm very glad I did. It...

Palm Zire PDA
Strengths: Very attractive, excellent mac-bluetooth setup and function, excellent overall function and thoughtfully laid out.
Weakness: Some quality issues (D-pad doesn't seem to want to 'press'), and I know the paint will come off eventually (but that doesn't really bother me that much).
So I struggled for awhile over buying this or the Tungsten T3 like a lot of people probably will, and I can say I made the right decision. First, this is newer than the T3, and right out of the box it works better with my powerbook than a T3 does. Next, you'll use the camera more than you think you would. It's like those stupid camera phones I complained about for so long until I had one and...
