"An exercise in frustration"
My PDA is stuck on the calibration screen. I Googled this problem and it appears to be common. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter this you will have the following choices: (1) keep tapping the calibration icon until you lose your mind, (2) throw your PDA into the nearest body of water, (3) sell your PDA on Ebay, or (4) call customer service, get put on hold, and continue to tap the icon while weeping. You don't need a PDA anyway. Avoid this purchase!

"This does not work with Vista!!!"
Palm claims on their website that the Z22 is compatible with Vista. It is NOT!!! When you plug the Z22 into the computer, Vista tries to find drivers and cannot--neither can Palm Support! They say they "are working on it." That's simply unacceptable when they claim that it's compatible. We received the Z22 today, and we are returning it tomorrow!!! Don't waste your time buying this item if you have Vista.

"Risky purchase. Defective manufacturing"
My first Z22 had a software problem out of the box. After several calls to tech support, they sent me a replacement. The replacement stopped working (didn't turn on) in about 3-4 weeks. I conclude that the manufacturing facility in China (this IS made in China) is producing defective Z22s. Buy at your own risk. After my second Z22 stopped working, I went back to paper. Less risky.

"Better Than Expected"
When I bought this entry level palm 2 1/2 years ago, I thought I would use it for a while and then move up to another more expensive model. I never have. It works great. It has had very few problems, and nothing that couldn't be fixed with a reset. When it does reset, it saves all my information anyway and only asks to reset the time. It charges in full in a short time with the wall plug, and I do that but once a week. It backs up to my laptop and syncs with my Microsoft Outlook. I bought the hard case, which has saved it from many falls. I also purchased the splash shopper and I love it. I have my grocery list on me at all times, and save a lot of time by not having to run home for it. When I am stuck sitting around, I play solitaire. I had no idea of the life expectancy of this product, but it has served me well.

".......deceived??????"
I feel that perhaps I was deceived into buying my palm.......while I didn't want a used one........I fell for the statement 'still in new packaging'......wouldn't you sense that it was new??? Well, when I receive the devise I was unable to Sync with my computer because my name would not work..........there was another name already in there as the owner.....that certainly told me that someone has used it at sometime.......granted the Palm appeared in very good condition.......but I had to pay my computer man to come and figure out how to get rid of "LEEGOFF"......it took an hour and half to get rid of "LEEGOFF"!! and cost me $60......should have just gone Staples and bought one really new....would have been better off from the start.........Palm instructions for this problem were nil..........My advise with Amazon.Com, be leary of 'new vs. used'......Virginia Miller, Ohio PS. Now that my Palm is in sync with my computer.....I really like it and it serves my purposes....
