Customer Rating: Summary: Great Functions, But Easy to Damage Comment: This device works great, but easy to damage. I'm now on my second Rex in the past year. On my first one - I broke the screen - my fault - I should not have had it in my pocket. On my second Rex, the "home" button (the top one) just stopped working. I can still use it, but with difficulty, and now have to push the "reset" button on the back to do the same function as the home button. I'm not sure if I want to spend the money for another, but even after having trouble with two, I'm still considering it - the Rex is very handy. Another piece of advise - get a hard case for it - they are sold independently - use a search engine to find the numerous web site dedicated to the Rex. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent desktop extension Comment: I have found this device to be the answer to my dilemma. I am able to take all my desktop PIM information in a convenient, tiny package. And better, it can be easily replaced if lost, broken. Highly recommended for those needing a convenient PIM on wheels. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't leave home without it! Comment: This little gem keeps track of all my important contacts, appointments, notes, and other items. It is a bit difficult to get used to entering data via the buttons on the unit, but if you purchase the docking station (as I did), then it's a breeze. I love the size, because I can carry it with me anywhere I go, and so I always have access to all my important information anytime.
512KB may not seem like a whole lot of memory, but you'll be amazed as to how much information that translates into.
If you have problems trying to input data while you're in a hurry, then do as I do, I carry a small writing tablet that I use for quick notes, and then I enter them into the REX.
I had an Everex unit (similar to the Palm), but it was too bulky for me to carry around comfortably.
The tiny Rex gets my vote. I love it!
Customer Rating: Summary: Exceptional product Comment: I looked extensively at Palm PDA's, etc. before choosing the Rex Pro 5. Decided to purchase this very compact, effective PDA since 95% of the time I need to reference a PDA for an appointment, phone number, etc. as opposed to finding the need to input data into it while away from the office. The Palm, etc, is too large to carry unobtrusively; the Rex Pro 5 easily fits into my pocket and weighs just over an ounce. Best business accessory I have found to increase my efficienct/productivity. Highly recommended! Customer Rating: Summary: Good but get the Rex 3 Comment: Excellent product but data entry is painful. I find I mostly do my input from my laptop now. Also seems quite fragile. Heard may stories where to screen cracks. So far no problems, carry it in my wallet or in my pocket. Buy the Rex 3 not the five, save some cash and use your computer to do your data entry.
