User Submitted PalmOne m130 Handheld Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-01-04 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. Date: 2006-10-02 great first palmpilot! the palmone m130 is a great palmpilot but if youve EVER owned a pda its basicly the same old same old with color and a sd/mmc slot... now lets get down to the main parts of why you maybe looking at a m130 screen:so-so it is small but it can handle most of the palm software out there palm os 4:very stable! the only time it crashes is if you dont have the right driver for something... battery: battery dos not drain as fast as people every one says but i found out a way to keep the battery life going just hold down the power button for a few secends untill the screen dems down 8 megs of memory:very big! i put about 60 programs in and it still has 3 mbs left if i didnt remember it was a handheld i would think it had 30 mb in it! size:its about as tall as a coke can then a coke bottle and about as wide as a credit card but a few CMs off toughness: it jumped out of my pocket while i was on my scooter it fell about... 4 feet and i was going 7mph AND THE ONLY THING DAMAGED WAS THE FACEPLATE! 4 stars becouse if you tap it it falls off the charger Date: 2006-03-14 Defective power switch, battery won't hold charge I've had 2 model 130 Palms- neither was of very good quality. Same problems with both units- erratic functioning power switch and unreliable power from the rechargeable battery. Wouldn't recommend this one. One star is much too generous. Date: 2005-10-09 Never Worked I started out w/ a Palm M100 "back in the day" and loved it. I then "inherited" my brother's Palm IIIc, which I liked even better. Basically b/c it was color. We have fundraising raffles at work, and, sometime in 2004, we had one for the M130. I looked up all the specs and saw that it was more advanced than the IIIc. So I played, and, for the first time ever - I won! I was so excited - I took it home and hooked up the cradle. Nothing. Maybe it just needed to charge? I waited 24 hours. Still, no signs of life. I had the receipt and should have taken it for a refund, but, being the lazy bum I am, didn't. So now it lives in my desk drawer b/c I haven't had the heart to trash it or the motivation to e-bay it yet. I've seen this recurring theme in many of the reviews for the M130 - it doesn't charge and Palm wants too much money to fix it. If you're in the market for a basic used PDA, steer clear of the M130. The M100 is great, though it is black and white. Plus, they're almost free at this point. The IIIc is also great for a color model. Date: 2004-11-29 Worst customer service for a bad product I would have given this -10 stars if I could. I had mine for less than 90 days when it just wouldn't turn on. This happened around Christmas, so I couldn't contact them until after the 90 days was up. When I contacted them, they wanted to charge me to talk to them on the phone and wanted me to pay $100 to have it repaired. It took me 2 1/2 months to get them to finally fix it for free. 1 month later, I finally got a refurbished one mailed back to me. (They also kept my cover that noone told me to remove) Then about 3 months later, the one that they sent to me died. When I contacted the company again, they said it would cost $100 to fix it. When I complained, the man that I spoke with told me he could give me 1/2 off another one. I then gave their customer service a bad review. No one ever contacted me. This is the worst piece of junk and the company that makes it is even worse. They don't care about making a product that is good, and they don't care about making the customer happy. Also when you call customer service, you can't get anyone in America. I would steer clear of this product.
