I was given this palm in July of 2006 as a gift and I absolutely loved it until it started locking up on me. The battery finally quit after a little over two years of use.After checking out the Palm help forum and discovering that the Z22 is only expected to last 1-3 years I guess I should consider myself lucky.Apparently it's more expensive to repair a unit than buy a new one. Very frustrating considering I had gotten to the point where I would use it every Day. I would not recommend buying this unless you don't mind shelling out 99.00 every two years.
