Summary: Good for email. Web browsing is another story.
Comment: The Palm V modem is a nice tool to have for someone who travels alot and doesn't feel like lugging around or booting up a laptop to check email.You get 33.6 KB speed and it runs off 2 AAA batteries (or optional adapter if you can find one). Do yourself a favor, download the free Eudora Palm Internet Suite for the top-notch email client. The Eudora email client is better than the Palm Mail app and you can upload messages to your Eudora desktop version. The whole dial-up and logon procedure takes less than a minute. I use Earthlink and found the setup to be quick and painless. However, browsing the web with my Palm Vx and this modem leaves alot to be desired...some sites aren't accessible, the aspect ratio is all off, some images won't load, and it's just plain slow. Certain sites are inaccessible such as banking and stock sites particularly if they are encrypted. You can also use the modem to HotSync remotely but this is not something I need to do on a regular basis, but those who are usually away from their company or desktop PC will appreciate this feature. If you own a Palm V series PDA, you would be served well to buy a modem. You may not need it or use it all the time, but eventually you'll find yourself without your laptop or any way to access your email quickly and you'll come to appreciate the Palm V Modem!

Summary: A must-have for all Palm V owners
Comment: I love gadgets. My Palm Vx became a constant companion and vital part of my wardrobe, and the modem follows close behind. On business trips or any other time I'm on the road, it has served me very well. The ability to keep up to date on e-mail, news, and HotSync stuff while on the road, combined with a pre-paid phone card, means that I'll never need to lug around a giant laptop! Woohoo! (...)

Summary: it works, but it is not really fast...
Comment: It works, it simply works. I can pick up my pop email from any location with an analog phone connection. (watch out, many offices have digital phone systems, which will not like this little modem) And I can also send my pop email with some freeware available out there. So all in all a great product. I can even just peek on the server to see if any relevant email is waiting out there, or if it is spam and spam again. (i am using a commercial software for this feature, so be prepared to spend a bit more money) It is nice to sit in a hotel room somewhere far from home and to read email on your little palm V (or better Vx)... it feels like working on the very first macintosh. It is all very cute, and all the words in the emails seem really important. Hmm, but there must be other solutions. I could think of wireless solutions, or solutions which would use a cellphone as a wireless modem. (look ma, no wires)... This modem is a cute solution for the wired traveler. Emails feel very fuzzy and warm. And you can write them anywhere and then send them off from almost anywhere. Oh, and before i forget, yes, you can also surf the web. (using some other commercial software which is listed in the manual). Hmm, surfing the web on a palm is a completely different story. It just does not feel right. Amazon actually is quite surfable, but many other sites are not. It feels a bit like leaving the house but never crossing any streets. Not quite there yet, it seems. :*) Get it, if you insist. :*) I am keeping mine. I like it.
