It was pretty cool
I got this back in 2002, it was one of the first color palms. I did not have a cell phone back in the day, so this was useful for games, organizer, etc... The batter was not replaceable on it.

It was pretty cool, I used to put PDF books on it, and I had Sim City, and it would sync web content when I put it into a cradle. Also had pocket office, and a fold out keyboard. Wish my Nokia N75 had that.

Just what I ordered!
The product was just as advertised. I was pleased that the delivery was a stated and on time. The PDA was in excellent repair and replaced the old one I loved so much. Now that cell phones have become so sophisticated, the old PDA's seem to be next to impossible to find. I was very pleased with this experience and will use AMAZON again and again! Thank you!!

The case cracks
I loved my first m130 which lasted about a year. When the case I cracked I bought two more for my husband and me. Both of ours cracked after about a year plus the OS is not compatible with XP for syncronizing. Plus I had a lot of problems with getting a recharger that would work or last long for the M130. I have since bought the Zire 22 which I have had for more than 2 years and the case is still intact.

Cute toy but.....


Like many others online I was never able to hotsync this to the computer. As a standalone it is fun and great-but the software is incompatible to XP and NO hotfix really works. Before you buy this do a "google" as to the hotsync problems. Palm makes it very very difficult to join their "customer support" forums (you must use user names and passwords that have one upper case letter, one numeric etc.) so any help available out in cyber space probably would not bother. I tried their new beta OS and it caused catastrophic fatal errors to my computer. (Had to spend two hours 'restoring')
If you can find this for a couple of bucks at a garage sale-go for it.

Problem
Not sure if it is the product or the individual unit, but this dumped data for no reason and I was unable to retrieve it. That was a pain reentering a load of names, addresses and appointments.
