Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PalmOne III Handheld

Customer Review: Great Palm computer/PDA
Summary: 5 Stars

While everyone else writes about the wonderful uses they get out of their palm, I'll just say a little about Palm Computing's support.

As with everyone else, I take my Palm III everywhere I go. It takes quite a beating without flinching, but somehow, while at a sleep-over party, I accidentally stepped on my Palm III, and cracked the screen. well.. even though the screen was cracked, the device still worked!, although not extremely well, as the touch sensitive screen was partially damaged, but I managed to retrieve the tech support number for Palm.

I figured I was going to have to shell out another 300 dollars, but, I called up their tech support line, and they even had a menu item that specified cracked screens, which got me to a real person.

well, after explaining, he said that he could send out a replacement unit for only $100, which amazed me (goes to show what the actual cost of a palm III is). Well, for the $100, they ship out the unit to you, you just take off the cover, and the stylus to your old device, and put it right back into the box they sent to you, and they even include a slip for the return shipping!, so, it's just a matter of going to the shipper (Airborne Express), picking up your package, taking out the replacement unit, putting your old Palm III in, writing your RMA number on the box, and sending it out again, with the shipper slip they included in the box!.. so simple! and, it turned out that the replacement device they shipped me happened to be defective itself (consumes batteries wicked fast - a few hours) so they are shipping out another replacement - at their expense.

I'm just quite happy with their service to the customers. Easy to follow voice menus, very nice tech support personnel, and a great method of shipping replacement units.

Description of PalmOne III Handheld

The tapered design, expanded memory, infrared transceiver for communicating with other PDAs, and flip-top cover make 3Com's Palm III even more of a dream electronic organizer for closet Star Fleet officers and harried professionals. With 2 MB of storage, the wallet-sized Palm III holds 6,000 addresses, 3,000 appointments, 1,500 to-do items, 1,500 memos, and 200 e-mail messages. The installed Graffiti Power Writing software allows you to write on the Palm III using Graffiti's shorthand alphabet. Users can also tap out letters on an on-screen keyboard using a heavy-duty stylus, which is included. Navigation through the core information management applications--memo pad, to-do list, address book, and calendar--is accomplished with six push buttons or by tapping the stylus on the backlit display. Palm OS 3.0 includes more fonts than earlier versions and facilitates drag-and-drop linking to Microsoft Word or Excel. The CD-ROM that comes with the Palm III provides all the necessary software to manage tasks on your desktop, too.

The Palm III is PC and Mac compatible (an inexpensive MacPac connection kit is required for Mac users), and, as with the PalmPilot Professional, the Palm III uses the critically acclaimed HotSync technology to exchange data with your desktop PC. The Palm III is packaged with batteries, several useful manuals, an adapter, connection cables, and the HotSync docking cradle. The Palm III has garnered a number of awards, including an MVP and 5-star rating from PC Computing, a four-star rating from Macworld, a Best of 1997 mention from PC Magazine, a Best of Byte from Byte magazine, and a stellar rating from Windows Sources. --Patrick O'Kelley
