Review: My wife was so excited before Christmas; she'd been researching handhelds for months, and had finally found the perfect one for me. A Sony Clie PEG-NX80V. Unfortunately, the company from which she ordered it waited until 2 days before Christmas to tell ...

Pros: Very Mac friendly, easy setup, stylish, fast, availability of software to enhance your handheld experiences!

Cons: Web only accessible via 5 Bluetooth cell phone models, auto shuts down too quickly!

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this one - the Zire 72 is the best of the Zire line and as much a workhorse as the much more expensive ones.

Review: This is the first review I have ever written for Epinions, but after seeing that the Zire 72 only had one review, I felt that this product deserves even more praise! I have had the Zire 72 Special Edition for a little more than a month, and so far am ...

Pros: Excellent functions for the money, easy to use, plenty of features.

Review: I had a Palm III followed by a Palm V and I was pretty pleased with both these older model PDAs. After some study, I opted for a Palm Zire 72 and I am very pleased with the features. Important to me, the Zire 72 has Palm's suite of information ...

Pros: 320x320 color backlit screen, audio/video, camera, 32mb memory, video/voice recorder...I can go on and on

Pros: Super fast processor, Bluetooth capability, beautiful color screen, quiet, great software.

Cons: None!

Review: This is my first PDA and I am in love! I purchased it from Overstock.com as a blemished item. Blemished? Where's the blemish? It's PERFECT!! I'm thinking the people with the "whiny" screen had a defective PDA and should look into an exchange or ...

Pros: Swiss army knife handheld! Bright screen. Perfect for the GTD method. Solid metal body.

Cons: Few. Heavy storage needs expansion card. Bluetooth synchronization slow but USB cable is provided.
