4 out of 5 stars PalmOne 3208WW Tungsten E and Zire Essentials Kit .......2007-10-27

Excellent product in mint condition and accessories very helpful. I love this product and I can use it with a bluetooth as well, my next purchase. Received very quickly, within 3-4 days!

5 out of 5 stars Nice Accessories........2007-07-18

The case fits my organizer very well. It doesn't make it any bulkier either. Nice case.

2 out of 5 stars They need to tell people........2007-05-12

I believe in the title of the Essentials Kit they need to tell the customers that the PDA is NOT INCLUDED. I got the Essentials kit thinking that a pilot was included. When it got here I was shaking and shaking the box, but nothing came out but the kit. I was embarassed and irritated. They need to put it in BIG BOLD PRINT. DOES NOT COME W/ A PDA.

3 out of 5 stars Not bad for the price.......2007-02-16

Has all the essentials. Not much use for the pen/stylus. Wish it had replacement styluses (or is it styli).

2 out of 5 stars Better off buying the items seperately.......2007-01-13

I've had the palm kit for over 2 years and the case is now starting to break on the edges from flipping it open anytime I use it. This is from normal use and not from even flipping the case open and holding it open. It seems the edge of the case is re-enforced with a piece of wire and the leather has worn away on both sides and exposed the wire to the point where it has broken on both sides.

The stylus/pen thing is not very useful and is a bad design. I'm not really sure which function I'll get when I turn and push down the button on top.

As for the screen protectors, I can tend to be a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to having no bubbles under the clear coat but that wasn't even the thing I was most disappointed with. I was going through a new protector almost every month because it would get more and more difficult to write in the same spot due to the wear on the protector. In the end I bought a Boxwave screen protector and I am much happier. Although the Boxwave screen protector is more expensive then all the other screen protectors, the one protector I have had for a little over a year is still going strong.

PalmOne Zire 72 Special Edition Handheld Silver

Product Description

When it comes to productivity, the Zire 72 handheld means business. Now you can shoot photos and capture and watch video clips anywhere you go. Listen to MP3s, create and edit Word- and Excel-compatible files, or get wireless e-mail and Internet access with its built-in Bluetooth.

Amazon.com Product Description

Building on the success of PalmOne's Zire 71, the Zire 72 is the first Palm-based handheld that can capture digital video with sound and shoot digital still photos. This special silver version of the Zire 72 also features bright 320 x 320-pixel color screen for optimal playback of video and photos as well as voice recording capability and an MP3 player for listening to your own soundtrack. Other features include Bluetooth wireless connectivity, a 32 MB memory, Secure Digital card expansion, and a fast 312 Mhz Intel PXA270 processor. And, of course, the Zire 72 features Palm's suite of information management applications and the ability to edit Word- and Excel-compatible files and synchronize with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only). It's also available in the original blue version.

Upgrade Features
The Zire 72 offers the following improvements to the Zire 71:

Built-in Camera
The back of the Zire 72 holds the built-in still and video camera, which does not require you to slide the back of the PDA to activate it (like the Zire 71 did). You can shoot video with sound turned on or off at 320 x 240 pixel resolution and 15 frames per second. Just use the handheld screen to frame the video, tap the "record" button on the display, then save your video to an optional expansion card after tapping the "stop" button.

For still photography, it features a 1.2-megapixel CMOS sensor with a fixed focus range of about five feet and a 2x digital zoom. It captures up to 1280 x 960 pixel images, as well as 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and 160 x 120 resolution modes. The camera also offers such customized image setting controls as white balance, brightness, saturation, contrast, and sharpness. You can also add date stamp or effects like sepia, black and white, and blue.

Audio
The included RealPlayer for Palm OS enables you to listen to MP3 music files stored on optional expansion cards via the built-in speaker on the Zire 72 or, for stereo sound, using optional stereo headphones or ear buds.

With the built-in digital voice recorder, you can create voice memos, then synchronize them to your desktop PC and email them to friends and colleagues.

Display
The Palm Zire 72 features a 16-bit, 320 x 320 bright transflective TFT color display, which supports more than 65,000 colors.

Connectivity and Expansion
With the built-in wireless Bluetooth connectivity, you can synchronize the Zire 72 with Bluetooth-enabled computer from across the room (within a range of 10 meters, or approximately 30 feet). But that's just the start. Using a compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone, you can send and receive email and connect to the web, send multimedia (MMS) or text (SMS) messages, and even automatically dial any number in your handheld's Contact's application. You can also synchronize data the "old-fashioned" way via the mini-USB connection at the base of the handheld.

The Zire 72 uses Multimedia Card and Secure Digital expansion cards, which instantly add software applications, additional memory, large databases, and more without taking up built-in memory space.

Operating System and Software
The Zire 72 is powered by Palm OS 5.2.8, which provides higher performance, enhanced multimedia features, support for Bluetooth connectivity and networking, and enterprise-class security. It useses the intuitive and easy-to-learn Graffiti 2 writing software to input data into the handheld (as well as an on-screen keyboard). Windows users can synchronize calendar, contacts, tasks and notes with Microsoft Outlook. The Palm OS features the following organizer applications:

You'll use Graffiti 2 allows you to enter data quickly into your Palmª handheldÑbut it's even more intuitive and easier to learn

5 out of 5 stars GREAT TOOL!.......2007-10-19

I love my Zire72! It is wonderful to have games, books, calendar, address book, music and note pad all in one! The freedom to be able to have all my information in a compact easy to use easy to carry place is well worth every penny. Easy Hotsinc makes it enjoyable to use.

5 out of 5 stars Great pda for great price and service.......2007-10-17

This is a great product I bought for my sister and she cherish every moment of it.
I do not know what else to say, because the service and the ethicacy of the service is so great that I am speechless.
My sister is using it all the time and I am happy for her and Amazon along with the renew electronics for making it possible.
thank you again

5 out of 5 stars I love the Zire..........2007-03-08

When my Zire 72 recently suffered a screen malfunction, I started shopping for a newer model -- I thought I'd find an updated Palm with more bells & whistles. To my surprise, none of the new models have the video and camera that the Zire has. I suppose it's Palm's way of pushing you towards buying a Treo -- but I don't like the phone/Palm combo, so I went for another Zire. I have to admit I paid more for this one because it's silver and soooooo pretty -- much nicer than the standard blue I had before -- but I'll just count that as the cost of being a girl. :o)

3 out of 5 stars Good product but.............2007-01-21

Good Product but i had never understud the software. I sold it and purchase an IPAQ 2700 series with wifi. Windows CE. (another thing)....

5 out of 5 stars The do almost everything PDA.......2006-12-27

I've had my Zire 72 for around a year and half and I love it. It does about anything I need in a PDA. I looked at others and found they lack some feature that the Zire 72 has like a built in speaker, camera or voice recorder.
The Good:
- Documents to Go: love this, I have read long docs on the plane when I had nothing else to do (while listening to music on the MP3 player)
- Voice Recorder: missing in many PDAs, Handy when driving and you need to take a note
- Built in speaker: Not great, but beats having to plug in earphones to hear your voice memos or check audio
- MP3 player: I use it for music and audio books
- Video Media player: I work in video production and have demo reel on my palm now. How cool is that!
- Camera: Ok, not great quality, but has been good for documenting things and location scouts
- Great color screen: I had a mono Palm VII before
- SD slot: Great for storing tons of MP3 files

The bad:
- Can't replace battery yourself: The one thing I hate about this little gem. I'll look into self fixes on-line
- No Wi-fi built in: but you can add it with a SD card.

I've added a keyboard and have written scripts and artilces with my Zire.

4 out of 5 stars good agenda, very pleasant with.......2007-01-11

its was a very good agenda to me until one day.... i drop it..
i used with a aluminium case and i have been drop it many times until from my legs drop it and the screen become blank, i heard this is the problem but overall its very good agenda, used about one year.. if i got to buy another i will do it.. but i think to buy the treo 650, its the one i need for now....



4 out of 5 stars Great - if you use an expandable memory card.......2006-12-10

I have both the Palm Tungsten E and the Zire 72. I've owned both for over 2 years and honestly haven't had a problem aside from losing data. This happens when the battery dies completely (I'm terrible at recharging electronics). However, I must say the voice recorder and digital camera on the Zire 72 have been lifesavers in certain situations! I have been able to take clear voice records of lectures within large classrooms.
At the time I purchased the Zire 72, it came with a free expansion card (mail-in offer). When the card didn't arrive, the girl at their customer service number was very helpful and friendly. I will definitely continue to buy Palm products in the future.

4 out of 5 stars great medium-level palm.......2006-07-15

got the zire 72 ~2 years ago, replaced with t/x 12/05 (see my review on it). thought i should still write a review because i thought it was a great palm overall.

pros: very quick, quicker than the t/x and locks up less; also very important for music lovers: you can lay the palm flat and actually hear the music fairly well with its speaker (volume overall much louder with 72 than t/x; and when flat, can barely hear stuff on t/x). similarly, if you connect it via the headphone jack to your car stereo, it produces a much louder sound (important to minimize static noise if using a cassette adapter); has a voice recorder!; has a decent camera as a backup in case you need a pic and no real camera around

cons: comes with only 32 mb internal memory but can use an external card; blue "paint" will flake off...i just peeled all mine off so it had a nice silver look but then they came out with the zire 72s which is basically the same thing!; some of them will start making the high-pitched buzzing noise when on...mine started doing that after i had it for a year or so; screen size is the usual size, not bigger like the t/x

all in all i think a great palm, definitely get it and not the t/x if you plan on using it more for music than other productivity stuff!

4 out of 5 stars Palm sized power.......2006-07-15

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 management applications and the ability to edit Word- and Excel-compatible files and synchronize with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only). This is one reason I got the Palm; my Blackberry is not good as a PDA and I love the easy-to-use and fast PalmOS.


The Zire 72 features:

1-megapixel image resolution (1280 x 960 pixels
32 MB of memory --64 MB in the special edition
Video capture with sound
Digital
Voice recording capability.
Wireless Bluetooth connectivity to connect to the PC or your Bluetooth-enabled phone
4.8 ounces wieght
Palm OS 5.2.8 Operating System
Software
USB cable for linking to PC
Slot for SDI memory card
16-bit 320x320 TFT screen capable of 65,000 colors.

Capabilities Rundown:

PIM and software:
Zire 72 features Palm's suite of information management applications for expenses and note, and it has the ability to edit Word- and Excel-compatible files and synchronize with Microsoft Outlook in Windows. Our own company email system will support the Palm and Pocket PC while it will not be supporting the Blackberry Enterprise System anytime soon. So the Outlook support is very important.

Bluetooth:
The Bluetooth seems designed for devices to enable mobiles, LAN and PC connections to give web capability. It would be clunky, in my view, to connect via a cell phone, so I'd love to see WiFi. But this feature can be added with a $99 card put into the SDI slot. Bluetooth is not as easy to configure; the set-up wizard seemed to be a bit difficult and there are only a few cell phone models included in the preset configurations. If you can get the 72 connected, you can use it to dial numbers, send SMS, MMS and e-mail, and browse the web using the Web Pro 3.5. Or you can opt for a WiFi card and surf at MacDonalds and Starbucks. Phones that are listed:

Sony-E T68i

Sony-E T610

Nokia 6310i

Nokia 3650

Siemens S56

Not a super list.

For PC interfacing or Palm-to-Palm there still is an infrared port.

Egonomics:
Complaints were made about the blue paint on the regular edition flaking off. There is available a special edition with the silver body that seems to be less prone to this complaint.

The control is a rectangular navigating button. The screen has the familiar Palm division between screen and stylus pad below. The Graffiti 2 was easy to use--the letters are almost exactly like written print, as long as you know where to begin the the letter, but that's practically intuitive. The sensitivity and accuracy of the stylus-pointing is a huge improvement over the very early Palms like the PalmV.

My system came with a Cordura nylon case, very nice quality and a huge improvement from the old flimsy leatherette flaps of early days. Without a case, you have to get something to cover the screen. The stylus is the same type of rod that attaches to the side by sliding into a slot.


MP3:
You need a SDI card (Secure Digital card) to load MP3 songs with RealPlayer onto the system for playing back with MP3. These are not hard to find, you may even have one floating around the house (we did.) Drag-and-drop songs onto the card on your PC, put card in Palm and go. There is a headphone jack.

There are "speakers" (tiny) and a voice recorder. Great for memos.

Camera:
The 1.2 megapixel camera has onboard adjustments for contrast and light (I needed to take down the exposure for a shot of my deck at dawn.) Digital zoom. No cover for the camera lens. The resolution was ok. The memory will hold about 85 shots, and you can move them to the SDI (optional) card. No flash.

Software:
The installation CD comes with Adobe Acrobat Reader for Palm, plus a calculator, a reader-- Documents To Go which allows you to read Microsoft Word and Excel. It's recommended to download AvantGo to add internet features. Sites such as www.palmsource.com, www.freewarepalm.com, www.palmgear.com, www.download.com have many free or inexpensive applications for the PalmOS.

There is no manual, it's on the CD.

Summary:
For a PDA, this is about perfect. To be perfect, they'd have to include WiFi and or a better phone setup list for the Bluetooth. I am quite thrilled with the Zire 72--it does what I want it to do, mainly be a PDA and keep my appointments and handle some data. The camera and MP3 are nice for travel.

1 out of 5 stars Problems from the beginning.......2006-06-08

I bought this device because I loved that I could use it for both work and personal fun. I bought it in September 2004, and by January 2005, I'd returned it because the blue paint was peeling off. PALM was pretty awful to deal with. It was returned to me in April or May. When they did return the device, it would not sync properly. I called PALM and they gave me the run around, telling me it was my PCs problem, my company's problem, etc. They wouldn't take it back. Then the warranty expired and they wouldn't take it back, and quite frankly I was exhausted by the whole thing and stopped using it for a couple of months. Finally, in January 2006 I decided just to use it for its organizational tasks and forget the syncking. Now, June 7, that just broke and I am throwing it away.

      I did not receive a CD with the cable. Of course the cable is self explanatory... Naturally I cant even perform a synch as Microsoft wont load the proper drivers to recognize the Zire. Palm customer service has been no help so I have a useless PDA. The cable is fine and does work but they didnt ship a CD so their it is.
