Palm m500 - Be Aware
I purchased a Palm m500 from another retailer, and was unable to sync the unit to my pc. After several calls and 15 days, I was finally told by palm support that my unit was defective. They advised me to return it to the store for a replacement, or to send the unit and cradle to Palm for a replacement. The store no longer carried that product, and upon further investigation and direct questioning, tech support at Palm then revealed to me that I would only receive a refurbished unit from them. It would appear that there is a known problem with the Palm m500, as Palm support has advised me they no longer make this unit, and all the stores that I have contacted will no longer be carrying this particular unit.

Outstanding Price for such functionality!
I replaced my IIIxe with the M500 after 3 1/2 years of service. It's an outstanding package for the price, and the new programs/features make organization even easier. I have found myself using the notepad as my own private sticky notes even more than expected. The expandability is great, and the included Docs to Go software makes compatibility with MS products no problem. Highly recommended!

Palm Products not up to par any longer.
Bought this Palm 13 months ago and this weekend it stopped working. Customer service informed me that they are strictly enforcing their one year ( or 365 days as it's spelled out) warranty. They are more than willing to fix this unit for a whopping One Hundred dollars. Wow.
Based on that and better products out there (also available from Amazon) I've begun to research these better options.

I would not recommend any of the palm line, unless you are willing to pay twice for it.

extremely poor product and even worse service
Never,never, never buy m500 or any other palm unit. If the unit gets cold below 45 - it doesn't work; if it should slip out of your hands to the seat of your car it doesn't work. I called customer service and was told to send it back. 3 weeks later they say they still do not have it even though I have the tracking receipt which says they have had it for the last 2 weeks. The excuses- 1. they have moved the repair center 2. So many units coming back for repair cannot repair fast enough 3. Has only been 3 weeks most repairs take longer anyway 4. No one working this week because of the holiday 5. what do you expect me to do about it things take time.
Poor product poor service buy from another company

IMPRESSIVE!!
Bought it last night and within three hours I had it charged and all the software loaded. Very easy to operate!!
I Like:
The contrast feature
Clear easily readable screen
Nice size screen
Accessible menus

I really can't think of anything I don't like yet. I would highly recommend this product to anyone!! I'm a first time user of PDA's! The prices are GREAT now too. Husbands hit your wife up for this one for Xmas, it won't break the budget!!
