Palm Z22 Handheld - 1048NA

It may not have internet capability and be an older model but it does the job that I want it to. The only issue I have is that I can't seem to get the time to keep up. I will set it then I will turn it on and the time won't be correct. Other than that it is a great product with good features.

The palm Pilot Z22 is great but if you have an older model be sure you uninstall EVERYTHING having to do with it! Windows Vista will fight you tooth and nail if you don't!

I am a stay at home mom and this thing is my life saver. It keeps my appointments so organized that I don't miss any now. Just the right size! I love the notepad on it, I put my grocery list on it and as I buy the things I need I can easily erase! No more searching for that scrap of paper you scribbled your list on. The crazy daisy is actually pretty cool too, I was at a restaurant with an hour wait and this little girl next to me started to get bored so I gave it to her, and we didn't hear a peep from her until they got called. So the whole thing is a life saver!

Price was reasonable and delivery was prompt. It is just right for my relatively small contact list, and the calendar reminder is a nice feature. I would recommend it for anyone with modest needs. Using my computer to enter info was handy and syncing was a breeze.

I am a stay at home mom and didn't need something with a whole bunch of really advanced software or mp3's(ok that would have been nice) or camera even. Cuz let's say the palm gets messed up, the camera goes too.. So I thought I'd like an "organizer" and thats exactly what I got. I've downloaded a bunch of extra little apps that have been really nice: "BlastPad"(mainscreen), "Life as I see it"(diary), "praymind", "palmquran","Diddlebug"(like notepad but with easy to use alaram, "HiMoney"(cool expense tracking software,"PlanMyDay"(plan your day),"SecureVault"(for passwords),WorkHours(for work hours of various stores you go to), HOlidayUSA,Converter(convert measures),Tiktok(timer). The calendar is awesome. I like those little color things. I actually use the weekview quite a bit. Very convenient. I was really into paper before I got this but this doesn't make me want to go back to paper at all. It really just grabs all those little things in your life and boom yur on top of it all.

My wife was attracted to the appearance of the Palm Z22 organizer in a brick-and-mortar retail store, but I bought it online at substantial savings. While I've got considerable experience with PDAs this is her first. The Z22 is an appropriate entry-level device with price and performance that seems about right. It's easy to use. The screen is bright and clear. One screen protector is included and it requires you to cut it to size before installing. No 'squeegee' is provided and so the novice may have trouble preventing bubbles. Battery life is acceptable. Initial installation of the synchronization software on my wife's laptop did NOT complete successfully. I needed to fiddle with it some - no problem for me but could be difficult for the novice. Once the software was installed correctly the device synchronized its calendar and contact list with Microsoft Outlook quickly and easily. Subsequent synchronizations handled conflicts intuitively. The biggest downside of this device is that no protective sleeve is included. Since the buttons are exposed, unless it's protected the device will turn itself on when it's loose in your gadget bag or purse. You'll want to buy a case to protect it - add another $20 or so to the purchase price.

This palm does what is promised on the cheap. The alarm feature for the callendar is convenient, and the synch is no problem.

The Z22 represents a good value with reasonably crisp and clear color screen. Basic programs easy to use and though lacking an SD card slot, has enough additional memory for some basic add-on programs. If you are used to using a cradle to charge and synch your Palm, this isn't easily done as the connectors are on the top. Cover or case selections are limited but at this price and size, a screen protector is good enough for every day wear and tear. Over all a good basic PDA for calendar, addresses, pictures etc.

The device is lightweight & compact. It has all the basis features except for e-mail. The deal from Buy.Com was inferior to buying direct from Palm where for the same price you can get an international power cord included (a $29.99 value)

This is my first palm pilot, so I don't have a lot of experience with them, but I was able to get this one up and running pretty quickly. I love having one place to look for all of my contacts. It's easy to sync it with the computer. It's pretty durable, too. I love it.

It is a great product if you want a handy "datebook" that pretty much does everything you want. It does not have some fancy applications like those $300 ones, but it is great for starters and if you just want to keep yourself on track. I got one for my Dad, then my Mom wanted one as well. They both love it.

This is a great item to own, I have one and so does my son- he is 9 years and he writes everything in it including his homework. Great stuff!

I am enjoying my Palm z22. It's great for my needs and easy to use. I can update my information on the computer, then sync up to the Palm and all new info gets entered. I bought the air case to help protect it. All at a great price through Buy.com !

After retiring I needed something to help keep all of our appointments straight (yes, you are even busier after retiring)and organize our friends, doctors, etc. After trying to use a paper calendar/organizer, I purchased the Z22 on a whim and fell in love with it. I bought one for my wife 2 months later, and now we both use them religiously, beaming info to each other daily. If I had realized what a great tool these are, I would have purchased one, probably with more glitz, when I was working. I'm very surprised at the huge amount of memory. I keep adding info and it hardly affects the memory. I recommend the Z22 wholeheartedly.

I have owned my Z22 for almost a year. I was using a paper calendar before and didn't think I really needed a PDA since I don't need to keep track of that much stuff. Was I ever wrong. After getting fed up with copying phone numbers and addresses repeatedly year after year, I discovered the Z22 at an incredible price for what you get. Because my husband is a Palm user, he was able to beam me all contacts in a matter of seconds and saved me tons of writing time. He can beam me events from his calendar that will affect my schedule and visa versa. Being able to mark categories by color makes it easy to see at a glance, which things pertain to me and which are his. Being able to back things up on the computer with more than one user makes it easy to check his calendar when he is away with his Palm. The only thing I don't like is the lack of a wallet type case. I found the Air Case to be bulky and inconvenient. It also scratches easily. I managed to find a leather case made by another company online that fits the Z22, and I am a very happy camper.

I didn't need a device to do everything. I have a cell phone. I have a laptop. I needed a PDA to replace my wornout Visor Platinum. The Pal
