This is my second Zire 72, my first was lost/stolen. I have my medical software on it, along with some other important software and it works very nicely.
I was laid off in August 2008, and I returned to college as planned. Just when I began to develop an itch to purchase the Sony eReader, I discovered that I can also read Ebooks on this device. I hit the reset button again- and it came on. After all these years, it continues to keep me satisfied. So the need for this device finally arrived. How cool is that.
I have NEVER appreciated an electronic device in a my life until now. The device has withstood the test of times in my various bags/cases (with and without it being in the PalmOne case), so the durability is excellent. At first, I did not have a need for it, so I tucked it away until the time was right. Because I knew it's capabilities and being short on cash, I was depressed when I had to purchase another PalmOne PDA.
This is one electronic device I will never take for granted again. I was going to invest in a Blackberry this evening, but all that changed now that my Zire 72s is back up and running. So I invested in a refurbished Palm m515, and it was a waste of my time. who decided to upgrade to a Blackberry.
A year later, I found myself employed (yeah).and taking three courses. After venting for hours about the m515, I picked up my Zire72s, said a prayer and plugged the charger in it. If you are considering purchasing this item, you made the right decision. I could not see myself paying an extra $30 per month for the Blackberry, so you can imagine how thankful I am right now.
I purchased mine in 2005 from a sales rep. I charged it up only to discover that it wouldn't work. Keep in mind that it was released about 7 years ago, so the 1.2 MegaPixel camera may be outdated, but it continues to do a great job.
When I contacted the seller, I received no reply about my complaint. It sticks to the pocket lining and I was specifically avoiding the listings for the blue version. The problem is that I keep my Zire in my pants pocket at work and the blue version is a non-slick finish applied to the body of the Zire. However, the Zire does work fine. The problem was with the seller. The listing said it was a silver edition of the Zire, but it actually was the blue one. Also, the seller included the wrong stylus and it's difficult to put in and take out of the groove.
Fun to use and user friendly. May not have all the bells and whistles but is great for someone just wanting to store addresses, etc.
It is wonderful to have games, books, calendar, address book, music and note pad all in one. Easy Hotsinc makes it enjoyable to use. I love my Zire72. The freedom to be able to have all my information in a compact easy to use easy to carry place is well worth every penny.
