Summary: Great for the Digitally Challenged!
Comment: Having used a Palm Pilot years ago (and given it up in frustration) and also having gone through a host of cheapie organizers which only slowed me down, I was reluctant to spend a hundred bucks on a 'cheapie Palm'. But, I went for it and I'm really glad I did. Because this is a Palm I can actually USE!
It does not overwhelm me with features I don't need or understand. I don't even know what Bluetooth is! I just wanted to keep track of appointments, To Dos, and have a means of taking quick notes on the fly (which, up 'til now, I found a $.49 paper pad most effective). Palm Z22 does all these things, and I can occupy myself with Chess in moments of flex time. I have never desired to be a walking photo album, so I cannot comment on how pictures look on the display.
Another big selling point was the size. Many PDAs are just a mite too big to fit comfortably in one's shirt breast pocket. My Z22 fits in great, even with the snazzy Covertec flip-open case I bought for it.
PROS:
Size
Simplicity of use
Compatibility and ease of synchronizing with computer
Clear, easy to read display
Notepad feature
CONS:
Lack of expansion capability
Expense program can't really be customized (not everyone is a traveling businessman!)
Screen protectors hard to apply and have 'bubbles'
If you don't need to be wirelessly connected to every digitally available data source on the planet, and don't plan on snapping impromptu photos all the time, this product is a good bet.

Summary: PALM Z22
Comment: After reading reviews on Amazon.com and other sites on the web, I was a little leary about purchasing the Palm Z22. Having owned the Palm III, V & 515, I was really looking for something with replaceable batteries, but hesitated getting another non-Palm product. Not because I was enamoured with Palm, but because I was unsure about how well the information on my current PALM (which was quickly dying) going to translate to another non-Palm program. I had visions of typing years of records, memos, etc. over by hand to the new PDA. I also refused to spend more money on items I did not use, I already own a cell phone did not want another one. I had no need to access the web away from my pc, so I didn't need anything with web access or BlueTooth.
When my Palm M515 refused to turn on one day, no matter what I did to it, I finally decided to purchase the Z22. I have had it for about a month now and so far (knock on wood), I've had no problems with it. It does what I need it to, remind me of appointments and important dates, keeps my phone numbers and memos for me. I did download a few photos to see what they looked like, very grainy. And I do miss the memory card slot. But for $99, I can't really complain.

Summary: great for the$$$
Comment: I had never used a Palm before. This one may not do quite as much as some others but for me it is just right. It replaces my paper calendar, allows me to store pictures. I can organize info I carried in many other places and it even has a few games. The size is perfect for my purse. It charges and syncs with my p.c. in just a few minutes. I haven't had any problems with it.

Summary: Great value! Awesome PDA for this novice!
Comment: I recently purchased my Palm after reading about the benefits of such a device in a parenting book. I thought for the price, and after reading all of the reviews online, it was worth trying. I am so glad I did.
Transitioning from paper was much easier than I had expected, especially with the Z22. Perhaps it is because of the limitations (memory capacity, no internet/email) that I found it to make my life easier, not add work to my day. Often times in an effort to get the most value for my dollar, I purchase items with features I think I might use. This ends up creating more work, or creating the sense that I spent too much for something that I didn't need. Not the case with the Z22. A wonderful intro to the PDA world!
The setup could not have been easier. After charging for three hours (per the directions), I found that the programming of the Z22 was far simpler than anticipated. No problems with installing software or Hotsyncing (Dell E510, Windows XP). I had entered in Excel contact information in anticipation of the purchase and found while the Z22 instructions did not spell out specifically how to import, the Desktop software and online support forums had plenty of direction. Importing into the calendar was a bit trickier, but with Mobile DB (included software on my Z22), I found a way, which proved helpful when I wanted to input holidays I had entered into an Excel spreadsheet. *Note: Holidays are not included on the calendar & will need to be entered, via manually or freeware/shareware online.
The included software has proved to be a great balance of tools to streamline life's details in a compact, aesthetic, user friendly package. There's the Calendar, Contact/Address Book, Task List, Memo, Notepad, Expense tracker, and Calculator which seem to be standard Palm OS programs. Additionally, my Amazon purchased Z22 came with Splash Photo, Splashshopper, and eReader (there are others, but I have not tried them). There are also many resources to find Palm OS programs and books to fit many needs. I found more than enough capability to customize programs where needed.
Before the Z22 purchase, I never considered how traumatic it would be to lose any one item, like the day planner, the address book, or my To Do list. How wonderful to have inherent in the product a backup. Also, security features are a bonus I hadn't considered. The last thing one would want to do is to recall the names and contact info of people in your address book to mention that their details (potentially unlisted & private) are in the hands of someone who may have lifted your purse/briefcase. As a novice, I am reluctant to keep too much in the way private info, such as passwords, ss#, or credit card numbers, but there are many programs out there for this purpose, if one is so inclined. Photo view is fine. Graffiti 2 was simple to learn, but would probably have been more of a challenge if I had to relearn a program from a previous version or device. I'm also using an Air Case and screen protectors and am please with both, though the screen protectors took a while to figure how to apply without bubbles. I am using the Palm OS Calendar, but from what I have read, the Palm OS works seamlessly with minimal setup adjustments to interface with Outlook.
Clearly, I'm glad I made the jump to the Palm world with the Z22 and would recommend this model to those considering the change to a PDA as well.

Meet the Palm Z22 organizer. Yes, a handheld organizer sounds serious. But it's actually a lot of fun. In fact, you can get started in just a few simple steps. Pick it up. It's small and light. Turn it on. There's a bright color screen. Check it out. You can store appointments, phone numbers, to-do lists, and photos. The Palm Z22 organizer holds life's details and lets you find it all fast. Take it wherever life takes you, then get home and save everything to your computer with one tap (when used with included synchronization software). It was designed by the makers of the original Palm Pilot specifically for people who haven't seen what a handheld organizer can do. Everything is super simple. A touch of a button brings up your appointments, addresses, and more. The Palm Z22 organizer even comes with an easy three-step set-up poster to get you up and running. You'll notice that the Z22 has a bright color screen. Names and addresses are easy to read, appointments can be color-coded, and photos (yes, you can even carry your photos!) come to life. The main thing, though, is organization. You can carry years of appointments, thousands of addresses, hundreds of photos, your to-do lists, a note pad in a pocket-size unit that weighs about 3 ounces. Once you put information into the Palm Z22 organizer, you can rest assured it'll stay there. Even if you forget to recharge and the power runs out. What's more, you can save everything to your computer. Compatible with thousands of optional Palm application software that can be preloaded in your PC and synched to your Z22
