The price is getting down near [$] (though not consistently) for refurbushed models at Palm.com.

Right now (Feb 1,2003) , Palm is selling them new at [$]. I'm still shopping.... but carefully. Many vendors are currently selling them used or refurbished for this amount.. or more! Before Christmas, Palm noted the expected retail price as [$], but the actual selling price rarely reflects this. Overall, the selling price has remained inflated for this b&w screen product due to customer demand.

So, for now, I'm biding my time.....

Palm m500 USB Sync Fails
The m500 Palms fail on sync. Tech support is of little or no help. They will send a used and repaired replacement for $40 if you bought it withen 90 days of failure. Mine lasted 14 day. Don't buy a palm!

Working wonder
My wife has totally enjoyed her new play thing. This item not only helps her with the personal things but she uses it mostly for work. It beats all those scrap papers she use to make notes and and half those gets lost!!...

Thin and neat
I had a perfectly good IIIxe running Palm OS 3.5, but it was so bulky. This fits better into a shirt pocket (although it is still just a bit big for this) and is therefore more portable for me. The recent price reductions have made this a real bargain!
