5 out of 5 stars Had one for years wanted a back up   April 22, 2010
Gary Dooley
Had one for years us the desk top calender do a hot link and it all goes with you


5 out of 5 stars It works great!   October 5, 2009
Gazoo (Colorado Springs, Co United States)
I had mine for almost five years and it worked great right up to this summer. I like the fact that I could write down notes, check my schedule or simply listen to music any time. the battery life is good, the colors on the screen were good also. I loved it! But I think that the many falls finally got to it and stopped functioning. Now, I'm trying find the same model to replace it. I have a Blackberry but I prefer the Z31.

Don't buy this product. It didn't work right from the beginning and completely failed after 5 months.It only has a 90 day warranty and they would do nothing for me. It is now in the trash.

The PalmOne Zire 31 is everything I needed in a handheld and it works great. the PalmOne website is a P.O.S. though


4 out of 5 stars Zire 31 lives up to reputation   July 20, 2009
Evan L. Carew (MI USA)
The palm Zire 31 lives up to the Palm's reputation of being a good hand-held note taker with few exceptions. The only nit I have is that these devices should ship with the original grafeti installed instead of the fake one. To fix this, I installed the Teal script replacement at an additional price of $25USD. If I were picking models over again, I'd get one of the later models with the grapheti product installed.

I mostly use this product to take meeting notes at the speed at which I can write printed script on paper. Not quite as fast cursive, and not quite as fast as touch typing, however, it sure beats retyping in all those notes into your computer, not to mention having your laptop hogging all the space in front of you in a meeting.
