It has been 3 years that I resisted temptation to get a new PDA, mainly because my So

Clie PEG-NX60 did such a great job with my daily routine that it simply wasn't necessary for another incremental improvement for a...
My teenage daughter has been bugging me for months now to get her a laptop or PDA so she could use it for her school work. I guess I waited a bit too long to get her one before school got out since she has less than two weeks to go before summer...
Strength
WiFi and Bluetooth, 4GB hard drive
Weakness
Battery life is an issue
Bottom Line
I would recommend this to anyone who is already used to the Palm OS.
I was very excited when I heard that a new Palm was coming out. Since I got my first m100 six years ago, I’ve watched developments with interest. Over the period, I’ve upgraded to the m505 and the Tungsten T. I was tempted by the Tungsten T3 but...
Strength
Wifi; Bluetooth; 4Gb hard drive; very clear screen
Weakness
Occasional crashes; no access to applications in drive mode
Bottom Line
Although there are still improvements to be made, this device is really useful, so buy it
When I decided to buy a new PDA, I did my research. Using www.pcworld.com, www.consumerreports.com, and www.amazon.com, I narrowed it down to the Dell Axim 53v and Palm LifeDrive. I actually went to the mall to hold the Dell (they have a Dell stand.) I...
Strength
Great display, 3.85GB hard drive, wireless internet capabilities, Bluetooth compatable, great programs.
Weakness
Lags when accessing programs, music skips when LD is accessing the hard drive.
Bottom Line
I recommend this if you are a Palm lover, and if you know how to tinker with computers. Otherwise, stick with the new Palm TX which is more user friendly.
With my crazy, hectic schedule my boss offered to buy me a PDA to get me organized. I chose the Palm LifeDrive Handheld. I admit this is my first PDA I've owned, but I have fiddled with many including the Palm Zire 31, Dell Axim X50v, and a couple HPs...
Strength
Has an intuitive interface, great software, great speakers, and customizable buttons.
Weakness
Very slow, operating system crashes a lot, big and bulky!
Bottom Line
Don't get this PDA! It's slow, bulky, and crashes frequently.
Before I purchased the LifeDrive, I spent a good deal of time carefully going through the reviews and the competitive products. Then I went to local retail outlets and tried out a variety of PDAs. Whatever someone buys needs to "fit" their particular...
I have been using and relying HEAVILY on PalmOS handhelds since the late 90s because I cannot remember a thing if I don't write it down... After my Tungsten|E recently suffered an untimely death (busted screen), I decided to see it as an opportunity...
I purchased the LifeDrive thinking it would be a great device to have with my on my vacation to Italy. With a large hard drive, I could transfer digital photos to, and I could email directly from the device using WiFi, not to mention sync to my Mac...
Strength
Hard Drive, WiFi, Bluetooth
Weakness
Doesn't work often, poor support
Bottom Line
Avoid this product. It requires constant resetting, and the support for this product is practically nonexistant.
I've been a palm user for many years. My last palm was a T3, which I used a lot for business (dates, addresses, project planning, etc.) and at home. When I saw the LifeDrive, I decided to buy one because of the huge memory. To carry all important...
Strength
Large memory, bright display, good shape, looks solid and trustworthy
Weakness
Crashes, crashes, crashes, crashes...
Bottom Line
Don't use it if you really want to work with it. It's not stable - it's like beta software.
I agree the life drive has been a bad investment. Its has be riddled with problems from software conflicts to the device it self just failing. And customer support once you get past the language barrier doesn't have a clue...They schedule for a level 2...
