Palm m505 Handheld

Pros: Palm-made, smaller than other PDAs, plenty of memory
Cons: Grainy color screen, non-backward compatible with Vx

Went to the store and looked at the m505. Well, I walked away with some pretty mixed feelings...

First off, the screen looks aweful - it's very grainy (although the backlight is excellent) - so grainy that after my gray-scale Vx, I couldn't...

Pros: Expansion capability, sleek style, light weight, battery, Palm OS.
Cons: WHAT COLOR?!?! Expensive. Better options available.

This product has been a true disappointment. I returned this product to the Staples store after I ordered it online -- and I'm glad that I did not have to pay shipping for this unsatisfactory product. My friends thought I was ridiculous for paying this...

Pros: Expansion, vibrating alerts, slim profile
Cons: Battery life, poor screen, dim

I was looking forward to this PDA more than anyone else, countless calls to the local Office Depot to inquire "Did you get it yet?" and finally the day came -- "Yes we have them". I got in the car and jetted down to the store to check out the new device....

Pros: Small, slick and in color.
Cons: Washed out and dull screen would make you disappointed.

I am a Palm and color screen enthusiast and for the past few weeks I was reading reviews and doing my research on m505 color screen. I've read a lot of mixed feeling about the color screen, still I was a skeptic. I thought I would like to judge it for my...

Pros: Compact,small,sleek and expandable
Cons: Color screen is mediocre at best.

I purchase the Palm m505 a month a ago finally making the plunge to buy a PDA. It is easy to use and comes with lots of pre-installed software like "documents to go". The PDA was very easy to use and I had no difficulty setting up the Palm.

...

Pros: With the release of the M515, good deals are to be had on M505s.
Cons: The M515 fixes flaws in the M505 and retails for the same price.

I recently purchased a Palm M505 and it was a tough choice when comparing it to other PDAs from other vendors. Eventually I decided to be conservative and go with Palm who has been around longer in the PDA market than most other vendors. Color was a...

Pros: Nice colors; expansion slot
Cons: No new "remarkable" technology introduced; seems a lot like the Visor

Intro
PDAs have been out for a while, but I still don't have one. Once in a while I'll think, "Hey, this would be a great time to have a PDA with me". However, this doesn't happen often enough for me to purchase one. However, I've...

Pros: Pretty. It's a Palm.
Cons: Get tired of squinting. Palm devices still don't do a whole lot.

We're getting closer and closer to producing a device that has everything I want. But the m505 just isn't it. It's a good start though. I mean, it's the same as any other Palm device. It's comparable in functionality to a Palm IIIxe or a Palm Vx (in...

Pros: Thin like VX, Expandable,New Software
Cons: Color is barely visible, your forced to use palm's expansion cards, many defective batteries shipped.

I work for a company that sells the Palm Pilots, I won't meantion the name, because it's not necessary. Anyway, I was given one free of charge and after fiddling around with it for a while, I realized that it wasn't all it's cracked up to be.

...

Pros: Easy to use, Light, Color Screen
Cons: Screen hard to read without backlight on. Problems with Static discharge disabling the unit

I bought my Palm M505 about a month ago. our local store was blowing them out for the newer models so it was cheaper than a M130 so I picked one up. So far so good. I have been able to get the grafitti writing down so I can enter things into it and...

Pros: great color display
Cons: no audio playback

This Palm is another in a series of good products. M505 has a terrific color display and a compact size. It is very lightweight like the PalmVx.

The features include a 16 bit 64,000 color reflective side lit display. It has a Universal...

Pros: Very portable, well-integrated expandability
Cons: Extremely dark screen, expensive

Only recently I put up a review on the Palm m500. I found out just a few days ago that a friend was going to have a m505 to review for a few days. I now had the chance to look at the m505 before I received the one I preordered at Amazon.com for $350...

Pros: Large Memory, Easy to read screen, Menus easily navigable
Cons: small battery life, expensive

Wow, this is the first PDA I have found that isn't that bad. The range of features is incredible and the menus are very easy to navigate. I was amazed what Palm has done with their OS. Its a lot easier to use than the OS from Microsoft, CE. The...

Pros: Color screen, both Macintosh and PC compatible, extra memory avaliable
Cons: Lights on PDA is not that bright, cradle is not that great.

I recently just got a Palm m505 from my boss, who just recently just bought a Sony Clie PEG-NZ90, and after using the m505 for about a month, I have found it to be somewhat useful, but not something I use everyday. With the regular Palm features such as...
