Lots of capabilities but performance is not what I expected

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: If your looking for an PDA, and MP3 playback is a priority, don't buy this one. The mp3 player skips and pauses like the original CD players.
Review: This was my first PDA purchase. I did a lot of research before buying this one, and ,from looks ,it probably is by far the best deal for the price. 4GB of memory, wi-fi, bluetooth, mp3 capability, video, internet. It's got it all. But I was not...

Driving the Lifedrive - a bumpy ride

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: Although there are still improvements to be made, this device is really useful, so buy it
Review: 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 in...

Horrible Product, Even Worse Support.

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: Avoid this product. It requires constant resetting, and the support for this product is practically nonexistant.
Review: 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...

Mediocre Product for a Steep Price

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2005
Review: I have been using this device for about 2 months now. It does a lot, but does nothing well. It crashes so often that I have nicknamed it the Palm Re-Booter. Audio files stutter when using any other application. Battery life is atrocious. Bundled...

Vital to my day to day life!

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2006
Review: I have used my LifeDrive for one year now and I cannot imagine life without it! I am a college student and I find it much easier to type class notes on the infrared keyboard than it is to drag my laptop around. I listen to music while walking to...

Bad investment

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2007
Review: 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...

Lifedrive is stuck in low gear

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2005
Review: I have owned a Handspring Visor, a Palm V, and a Sony NX80v. I was attracted to the Lifedrive because of its huge memory but was disappointed by the slowest palm I have ever owned. I now understand the difference between a micro drive and flash...

A different Palm device

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2005
Review: The Palm LifeDrive is a departure from traditional Palm devices. It's too bulky to replace a traditional Palm organiser. It doesn't feel like a Palm either, all the apps are there, but it doesn't feel the same.

And Palm's advertised use...

Associate Palm LifeDrive with the word 'Slow'!

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: Don't get this PDA! It's slow, bulky, and crashes frequently.
Review: 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...

Good Product

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: Good machine. I would buy it again.
Review: 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...
