Palm m505 Handheld

Pros: compact, color, rechargeable
Cons: battery life with backlight

I read a few of these reviews on epinions prior to my purchase and was kind of wary about buying this model because all the reviews mentioned a dim screen. After I had ordered it from egghead.com and was anxiously tracking its journey from california...

Pros: Expandability. Fast. Very powerful.
Cons: Screen not bright enough at times and battery does not last long.

Very content with this purchase. Screen is not as bad as you might think. When used this at night, the colors are simply beautiful. During the daytime, in sunlight, screen can be hard to view. There's not a palm out there that's as fast or as...

Pros: Light weight, expansion slot, more apps, vibrating alarm, LED alarm
Cons: somewhat faded screen, not compatible with older palm acc., battery life low with light on.

Palm's entrance this year with a new color Palm the size and form factor of the Palm Vx had me waiting night and day for it to arrive in stores.

My previous color PDAs where in the form of the Palm IIIc and the Microsoft Windows based Compaq...

Pros: A great palmtop
Cons: Expensive

Well thats between me and my pocket but most of the time, Im using the Palm M505. At least thats what Im claiming!
For people on the move, sometime a laptop is a little impractical.
A bulky A4 size case with a bit of weight behind it may not...

Pros: Color screen, Plenty of memory, Familiar design for Palm users
Cons: Price, Some unnecessary functionality, There are better color screens out there

The m505 is one of the latest in Palm's long line of hand-held devices. While in most obvious ways it seems a far cry from, say, my Palm III, it retains a familiar design and feel -- partly due to its continued use of Palm OS (Version 4.0 to be...

Pros: Excellent Design, long lasting battery, and color!
Cons: Pixels and can be a bit slow with big programs.

I received the Palm m505 as a gift from a friend. The great thing about this PDA is the compact size and it’s long lasting battery. I use this item for the following: Dates, addresses, avantGo, and mapQuest.

This item is great for managing...

Pros: Small, thin, light. Color reflective screen rocks. Good battery life. Expansion cards are not proprietary.
Cons: Expensive, new connection scheme makes old peripherals obsolete. Sidelights are fixed brightness.

Okay, I'm a Palm junkie...but I wasn't going to buy this one. I was going to sit this generation out having bought a Visor Platinum. My Visor was getting on my nerves as it wasn't _that_ much faster than the Palm Vx it replaced and it was a big lunker....

Pros: Solidly built, memory expansion.
Cons: Color screen not so good. Not feature rich.

I have surprised myself by choosing the Palm m505 over the new Sony Color CLIE. I bought both of them to play with, because a choice like this is hard to make without using them personally.

I am going to talk a little bit about the Sony Color...

Pros: Size, color, faster processor, slim design
Cons: Cradle takes getting used to, without backlight need to use in well lit room

I recently purchased the m505 after using the IIIxe for over a year. I was looking for a slimmer design Palm in color and this fit the bill! So far I am very pleased with this model. It's lighter than the older versions and the sleek design is great....

Pros: COLOR screen, lots of memory, expansion slot
Cons: Difficult to see the color in the screen when not backlit.

I have been a dedicated Palm user since Palm V came out. When the Palm Vx came out I bought that one. My only complaint was that the Palm Vx was not available in color. Well, with the Palm m505, my prayers were answered.

The Palm m505 is...

Pros: Great look & feel, great included apps, expandable, nice improvements
Cons: The screen isn't all it can be.

I’ve been a Palm user for about four years: I started with the Palm Pilot Professional, upgraded to the Palm III a couple years ago, and vowed not to upgrade again until something truly better reared its head. Although the Palm V was clearly cool, I...

Pros: Excellent Size, Weight. It's Stylin'! Color Screen! Rechargeable Battery.
Cons: Screen, stylus, cost, not enough 3rd party applications for MMC/SD cards.

Cons: Screen a little dim, cradle is not so good, expensive

I've wanted something color in my pocket for a long time. While I loved my Professional, IIIx, and Vx, I lusted after color handhelds. My lust for a color Palm hit its crescendo upon the arrival of the Handspring Prism. Brand loyalty, the...

Pros: Its in color sweet radiant color!!! It can fit almost anywhere, I think...
Cons: Its in color, but not as radiant as I once thought...

Let me tell a story.

A story of a young College kid whose name we will with hold.

He was a brave soul, if not a bit unstable. He was notorious for doing quite stupid things (well maybe not stupid to him but quite stupid in a evil...
