Palm Zire m150 Handheld PDA

This was a used replacement for a Palm zire m150 that I already owned and was failing. This Palm was in better than advertised condition and works great! Just what I needed so I wouldn't lose all my contact info.

The description was correct, I did not need the accessories, so this was a good purchase for me. It was a used palm but in good condition as described. I received it before the expected date. I was thoroughly pleased.

Use it every day. This is my second one.

I love my Palm Zire....I know that these days, with cell phones that have similar capabilities, the Palm Zire is being used less and less, but I don't like clogging up my phone with addresses and numbers that I don't use often. It is very useful to keep information of family and friends who live out of the country and that you don't have to contact that often without using the memory of my cell phone.

I bought my first Zire m150 7 years ago, and it still works fine. I use 3 laptops, and run the palm software on them all, and use the handheld to synchronize all three. My newest laptop ran Windows 7 at 64 bits, and I couldn't run the Palm software until I changed it to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. My datebook and address book are so useful to me that I wanted to do this! Committed to using the Zire for a few more years, I decided I needed a backup. Bought one that was new in the unopened plastic box, but it was DOA because of a dead battery. Had my tech friend put a new battery in (needed to solder the wires), and now I have two identical handhelds. In should be obvious that I am clinging to some older technology that I am fond of. Some day I will get an Iphone (I use a tracphone now and buy minutes once a year- my phone costs me about $8 a month!) and an Apple laptop and keep all this PDA date in the cloud and synch wirelessly between the devices, but I don't plan to do that for a few years. For now, my inexpensive laptops, inexpensive cell phones, and inexpensive Zire PDA are fill my needs just fine, and I'm saving some bucks.

These little tft LCD's are great for home automation projects. Much cheaper than buying a new LCD from china and these are made well. Works with rpi and arduino with a little interface build. Buy it, disassemble, throw away everything but the LCD.
