This item did not work I will never buy a refurbished item from Amazon. The screen freezes among other things. It should have been tested before shipped out.
I was able to get my old unit in good working order. I now have two Vx Handhelds that are working very well. I am very satisfied.
I have had my Palm Vx since late 2001. Is there anything comparable. There were times when I thought it had died, but discovered there was a button that was depressed and I didn't know it.
I would love to now upgrade to a color Palm. Once I figured out the problem, I depressed the button, recharged the unit, and went back to business as usual. I am still using it today, February 2008.
That caused the battery to die and be unchargeable. However, I am very fearful that I will not find another PDA which offers the durability and longevity I've received from my current Palm. I will continue to use my Palm Vx until it dies - permanently.
I love my Palm Vx. If so, please email me at delecia1@cox.net
I don't appreciate at all the fact that it was NOT disclosed before the purchase that the product was made in China. I thought it was made here.I will not order ANYMORE from Amazon because of this.
I also get good battery life on the Vx, about a month per charge. I bought my Palm Vx for six dollars at a thrift store a year ago and I've never had a problem with it. The 3.5.3 OS on the Vx seems to be rock solid-no crashes or freezes. The case on my m500 (made in China) became loose not long after I bought it and when I tried to tighten the screws they just stripped. Tip: if you want the Notepad app on your Vx (or older Palm), download Notes. The construction also is very solid.
You really can't go wrong with the Vx, especially at today's prices. I own a IIIxe, an m500, and a Handspring Visor Deluxe, and the Vx and the Visor are my favorites. With all the problems I read about concerning the latest generation of Palm PDA's, I can't help but think that Palm peaked with older models like the III series and the Vx. It was made in the USA, which I suspect is the reason for the high quality. Beware of PDA's made in China. You'll have a reliable PDA with enough memory to add plenty of applications and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.
