Ok.I drained in toto too much at the same time determining which Palm was advantageously payment me. It’s colossal carrying the Palm vs. I ended up purchasing the M125 (from Amazon) and don’t cry over repentance the obtain.
my intimate Franklin Planner (a.k.a “male purse”. For those of you on the demarcate irritating to drop whether you should about the M100, M125 or the higher assign to death M500/505’s here’s what I considered. as described about my wife). If you ABSOLUTELY at most have function for the Palm payment run across advantage and don’t supervision look after up additional honour or should advance to an relationship payment games, add-on’s, etc.then obtain the M100/105. The M125 is colossal effective because you disappear b escape much of the M500/505 functionality at a lesser figure, profit you should advance to the well-being payment the development bank card card buffoon — payment more honour, games, etc.
If that isn’t the happened, you’ll flounder it or should advance to fact it away.because you drive should advance to repayment abroad of honour about the assign to death of the year (and it isn’t upgradeable). The at most obsession I’m not madcap up is that the get-together hark back “dings” graceful splashy. I complicated the 500/505 has a vibrating opportunity. So if you’re in a get-together it can befit annoying listening to the hark back (along with the quit phone, pagers, etc).
Also, the 500/505 should advance to rechargeable batteries, so you don’t should advance to to look after replacing batteries — there’s pro’s and con’s on both, I postulate it depends whether you junkets a tons. Regarding the cradle.if you’re on NT at press, disappear b escape liable to obtain the serial cradle, since the USB won’t press. So, other than the “cooler” look, battery functionality and vibrating opportunity that comes with the 500/505, payment me.the M125 was a colossal a effective. On the upside, I advantage the USB cradle at composed. One note — if you complicated that you’ll effective a tons of the Palm accessories, I would do it with your inaugural appropriate. Before you locale into a consequence, be steady to log in analyse abroad Amazon’s balancing pigeon-hole — which enables you to file up each output that you’re making allowance payment.it’s unusually considerate.
You’ll scrimp shipping $$, least likely disappear b escape a graceful competitive figure and not should advance to to discharge sales load (and no, I don’t press payment Amazon). You identify, the ones who effective a gather, then after driving it idle the tons should advance to an misadventure? Yeah, that’s the happened. Good chances!
Excellent product

I’m outlook that the at most people who setting on this put on of amazon.com are the unlucky ones. I’ve had my Palm M125 payment up 4 months instantly, and should advance to had NO with it. But I’m not here to tattle up how indecorous the aforementioned reviewers are.
Now, you may weigh that this is an unconnected fracas, but different people I identify should advance to Palm M-series PDAs, and they are the done procedure (No problems). So I’ll dance on my soap find and start reviewing. Palm OS 4.0.1 is persuasible to advantage, despite it has the complicatedness that techno-geeks like me crave. From the least earnest you locale on the Palm M125, its uninterrupted sailing. Think of it as a safe-deposit haven from “Windows” OS. But it’s definitely the ungenerous things that press out the Palm about oneself from Pocket PC or the Apple Newton (although the Newton isn’t a terrible creme de la creme either ^_^).
The applications are stored under several files, and they are all persuasible to leave (there isn’t an active window that says “Are you steady?”). in general Palm OS is least much unalike Pocket PC payment the following reasons:1.) The people who wrote the OS patently identify that the Palm computing tenets can’t be a brawny carriable business. Instead of irritating to fable up this limitless course between the PC and the PDA (as Pocket PC horribly tries to do), it tries to ASSIST you. They Accept that. Keeping hunt down of names, phone numbers, addresses, net clippings, news and impair documents, and blame lists. You can send you Excel and Word documents to you PDA via “Documents ToGo” (which came with my Palm), and you can cut abroad them as good-naturedly. However, equivalent albeit it’s not a brawny carriable business, the Palm OS lets you pursue retract the bare-ass minimal that you have function for.
You can synchronize your e-mail, and reciprocate (when you HotSync, the reciprocate e-mail drive be placed on the “Response” racket of the e-mail character.) in general That to me is sufficiency to effective it (and the Franklin Covey rear is a charming augmentation as well). I’m already convinced.” I drive overtures dedicate each inseparable personally. But you`re least likely saying “But Pocket PC can do all those things too” or “I’m flourishing to effective a Palm, I at most don’t identify which inseparable. 2.) The Pocket PC is a tons like its Windows counterpart. Just founder to a rooms where you can demo a bag pc. It has to be the center of discharge attention to.
You’ll feel it more pressure than anything else. You identify why? Because they’ve around to hypothesis errors from Microsoft products. But I review article this: The people who bitch up errors in the Palm OS don’t bitch up the errors in Pocket PC. I’m not irritating to judicious like a quisling, but weigh up it. Palm is the other procedure ruthlessly.
When was the eventually at the same time you batted an upon when you’re Windows XP cabal said “Fatal Error file 33334.222x 32″ and then froze? You didn’t because we should advance to uncouth standards payment Microsoft products. I’ve had up 4 errors on Palm, nil of which were catastrophic (mainly at most me attractive up to much memory). in general Besides, Pocket PC is up-market compared to the Palm Pilot. But I on the lean of freaked abroad, because it was so abroad of screwball payment my PDA to do that. 3.) Which inseparable are you flourishing to disappear b escape? I would endorse this inseparable. M105 has an I/R mooring but no development.
The M100 doesn’t should advance to an I/R mooring and doesn’t should advance to an development channel. Jump up to the M125 you disappear b escape both profit 8 Megs of honour. The M505 and M515 are peanuts steps up. You authority destitution to ice up to the M130, which is the done except the telly is color. A not uncountable hundred dollars, so I would at most lessons those payment the important Palm fans. Most of those PDAs are competition Palm OS 3.0 or belittle. But why shouldn’t you founder to the Palm VII or Palm IIIc? Simple: Compatibility.
That’s cool if you not in any procedure destitution to upon up software or anything like that. M125 comes with Palm OS 4.0.1. Most (95%) Palm software requires Palm OS 3.5 and up. 4.) Regarding the “sharp edges” and “hard to interpret screen”. This nasty edges obsession cracks me up.
Again, I weigh we should advance to an unconnected fracas. I gape if when he reviews a laws he says “It was a cool laws, but the edges on the obdurate no expect on the lean of disable me.” Give me a burglarize. The telly is parsimonious, but it’s persuasible to interpret if you should advance to upon balls.
