About the Palm Z22
If you're still using a paper planner, maybe it's time to catch up with technology and upgrade to the affordable and easy-to-use Palm Z22 handheld. It enables you to keep your entire day-to-day schedule and contact information at hand and in your pocket--no more flipping through multiple pages, looking for scraps of paper or keeping track of to-do lists. And you won't have to enter the same thing twice--once on the computer and once in your planner, as you can easily make updates on your computer and synchronize data to the Palm Z22 in just a minute or two.
This handheld features a 32 MB of flash memory (20 MB accessible for file and software storage), Palm OS 5.4 (Garnet), a fast 200 MHz ARM-based processor, and an internal rechargeable battery (that can be charged via the included AC adapter or via the USB cable connected to your PC).
Weighing just over 3 ounces and about the same size as a deck of playing cards, the Palm Z22 is compact and stylish with a white front and translucent blue backing. Small enough to fit into any purse, backpack or back pocket, it boasts a bright, 160 x 160-pixel color touchscreen display, which provides easy readability of names, addresses, and appointments. You can even color-code appointments for improved organization, and view and carry pictures of friends and family wherever you go.
Operating System and Software
The installed Palm OS 5.4 uses 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 their calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes with Microsoft Outlook. The Palm OS features the following organizer applications:
Contacts: Lets you store several addresses for each contact, and with new fields for more phone numbers, multiple e-mail addresses, instant messenger IDs, and Web sites.
Calendar: Use the new Agenda view to see upcoming calendar events, tasks due, and important e-mail, and color-code your events to provide an easy way to reference your calendar in the Agenda, Day, Week, and Month views. Take more notes, or synchronize more details from your desktop, in the larger Memos and Notes fields.
Tasks: Use tasks with alarms and repeating tasks to set reminders for important commients.
It also includes AddIt, a program that includes a variety of applications such as CheckSplit, Chess, Carb Counter and Solitaire. The bonus software CD-ROM has an eBook reader with three books and a dictionary, the powerOne Calculator (perfect for basic and advanced mathematics), and SplashShopper (a helpful shopping list application).
Compatibility
The Palm Z22 is compatible with PCs running Windows Windows 2000 (SP4) and XP (Outlook synchronization requires MS Outlook 2000, 2002, or 2003; sold separately), and with Macs running Mac OS 10.2.8 to 10.4.

DOA:

This was intended to be a gift.
We charged it for more than the required time but it never got past the initial startup screen (orange Palm logo).
Neither the soft reset nor the hard reset made any difference nor did draining the battery & recharging.
This was obviously a faulty device.
I've just dropped it off at the post office for return.
As Amazon have extended the return window for the Christmas period I anticipate a full refund.

Efficient personal organizer:

I have two desks--upstairs and down--and sometimes forgot to enter items on both desk calendars. This small, lightweight personal organizer fits in my pocket and is always with me. I also use it for personal contacts (phone numbers, email addresses), especially for out of town travel. Installation was a breeze, but I had to charge the battery a second time because the unit was slow. Haven't gotten the hang of free writing, but the alphabetic entries with the pointer work fine since recharge.

EXACTLY what I need, and nothing I don't:

I've waited two months before writing this review, but I got to tell you it feels like I've been carrying my Z22 for a year. It does EXACTLY what I need, and nothing I don't. And you cannot beat the below $100 price.
Yes, PDAs are old technology, but I'm not the type that needs the newest anyway. And I really did not want to carry the thing all the time the way I do my cell phone. When I am not at work, I leave work behind. So, part one was not needing it to be a phone too. Then I looked at web-capable... more info

Z22--not as good as Z31:

I purchased the Z22 to replace a Zire 31 (Z31) whose screen stopped responding, despite cleaning and hard resets. This review is based on a comparison of the Z22 to the Z31. The Z22 alarm is not very loud, despite being on the highest setting. In addition, the screen is smaller than the Z31. There is also no music player and memory expansion port. On the plus side, the Z22 is easy to use and has enough memory to meet my day-to-day needs. It was easy to import my Z31 contacts and schedule. Everything works... more info
