A lovely surprise

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you don't need wireless or massive amounts of storage, this one is a great choice. Sharp color screen, easy to use--what's not to like?
Review: I was given a Zire 31 on http://www.freecycle.org/ after my Handspring Visor Deluxe just stopped powering up. The Visor was grayscale, so the sharp color screen of the Zire was a really nice surprise. My PDA needs are pretty sparse these days: I...

Not fancy, but it works

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2006
Review: I haven't had any of the problems that the other users have mentioned, and I've had my Zire for about 6 months. I use it heavily, both as a PDA and also as a mp3 player. I also have downloaded additional software (Smart Money) which has really added...

Worked fine- for a little while

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2006
Review: I got this Zire to replace an M505 after the screen broke. Ordered it from the Palm store, which delivered it promptly. It took a little bit of time and work to get it synced to my office computer using Outlook, but eventually got it working...

Still running after 3 years

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2007
Review: Basic pda but still works. No bluetooth or infared sharing of files therefore no use for external keyboard. Screen is small but adequate for me.

Touch screen quit working

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2006
Review: I have used this Palm Zire for 3 months. Initially the only complain is the screen is not bright enough to read outside. However, the screen's touch function has just quit. I can read the screen but the stylus is useless.

I have had 2...

Good beginner PDA

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you need something inexpensive and easy to use with few bells or whistles, this is a good beginner handheld.
Review: I have had my Zire 31 for almost a year now. I had zero experience with PDAs before this purchase and didn't really know what to look for. In making the decision to purchase this handheld, I wanted something that was compatible with Weight Watchers...

Good entry-level pda

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good entry level device, it handles the basic pda functions well and even offers a few extras like the media player.
Review: I've owned my Zire31 for several years now. I replaced a trusty PalmIII with the Zire. I chose it for 3 reasons 1. price, 2. Features 3. Price (ok there were really only 2 reasons) I paid about $130 for it from an online store. I had it for about 2...

ire for zire

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2005
Review: While I initially loved the Zire 31 when I purchased it a little more than a year and five months ago, by the time I had hit a year mark, the PDA was starting to act funny. I couldn't input data very easily. Trying to use the screen to write on...

Dead

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2007
Review: I had my Zire 31 for about a year. I used it for work and home. I had everything in it. It was great! I even talked a co-worker into buying one. About a month after his died, mine died. No power, no charge, nothing.

Ok PDA, mediocre reliability

Date of Review:  Oct 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you're gonna get a Zire PDA, it's better now to buy the Zire 71. Reliability compared to the 31 is unknown, so remember to hotsync often.
Review: I've had and been using this PDA for nearly 2 years now. I believe I can provide a fairly accurate review of this handheld device.

BAD NEWS FIRST: RELIABILITY IS THE BIGGEST GRIPE

As a user had indicated before, this device at...
