User Submitted PalmOne m500 Handheld Reviews (cont...)Date: 2003-04-09 Improved Palm Upgraded to 500 from Palm V because my old unit's screen was scratched, making writing tedious and 3 of the 4 application buttons were broken (Hardware snafus aside, the Palm V gave me 3 1/2 years of otherwise trouble-free use). Considered the Tungsten and the 515 but the Tungsten is a bit bulky and has an awkward sliding bottom which seems to be asking for visits to the repair shop sometime down the line. The 515 simply has poor screen resolution. The Palm 500 (when compared to the V) has faster syncing, buttons are recessed so you don't turn the Palm on by mistake in its case, Improved datebook format, good resolution and excellent battery life. Some quibbles - 1. The new cradle has eliminated that nice little "bullseye" where a stylus could be kept handy - why eliminate this smart and convenient feature? 2. The connection between the Palm and the cradle is less smooth than with the V. 3. My old personalized cover does not fit onto the 500, this is because the lefthand stylus slot is tiny and is made to hold only the cover that came with the 500 series. This is just a deliberate and unnecessary attempt to get us to buy new accessories. Overall great value and great product. Date: 2003-03-31 Wonderful product!! I have to say that this is the best and smallest palm out there. considering that I dont need color, It was a GOOD buy.It has 8 megs of memory and I still have over 3\4 of that remaining even after I put Photo Suite on It. Did I mention that the resolution is great??? great product and if you buy it it will get you organized. Date: 2003-03-30 wonderful product oh my!!! this pda has already taken over my life!!! grafitti took about 2 sec to learn and i even have some really cool games on it....wonderfully small and light not to mention thin!!! if you get the chance, BUY IT!!!! Date: 2003-03-07 It worked fine.... for about one and half months I purchased refurbshed version of this PDA from one of the marketplace seller, and I thought it was a good deal. Well,,, I have to admit that the PDA itself is awesome (very thin, light weight, palm os, reasonable memory, expansion slot, etc). However, the hotsync function suddenly failed after one and half of use. In my opinion, this pda doesn't worth a thing without the hoysync- writing schedule directly from PDA is one of the most annoying things EVER! ... P.S. those who are having the same problem, this might help. =>
