Keeps me going
I have had the M130 for 6 months now. It has actually made me more efficient with my time. And, to me, that is of extreme importance. I don't play games on it, but believe me, every meeting I attend, I have it with me. I am able to take my notes and then export them to my laptop later. I like it!

Pennsylvania
I believe this is the worst piece of electronic trash and service I have purchased EVER. I would rather write my stuff with a pen and paper than use this thing. I am on my second one - first one stopped working in less than two months. I also must say that I consider myself fairly computer - savvy. That's not the problem. Customer service was not that great and it took forever to get a new one (like 3.5 weeks). Now, this one won't sync with my computer and it's giving me all kinds of errors. I write to Palm Customer service to complain about the other problem which is that the battery drains so fast, I can't be without the cradle for a day or it's useless. So, they write me to tell me what to do and it still doesn't hold a charge. The cradle to PALM connection feels so cheap - it's like you could break it by breathing on it the wrong way.

Lasted 3 Months
Worked well for 3 months. Then screen ceased responding correctly to the stylus, especially lower part of screen. Sometimes adjacent letter or number responds, not the one I tapped. Sometimes won't respond at all. It now is unuseable.

It is not a computer
ALthough the M130 works well, it is not a computer and would not handle the Excel spreadsheet I wanted it to (at least not with the software that came with it). Maybe I can upgrade it, but then I have already spent too much to play games.

It's everything I expected
I am really enjoying having the color palm rather that the B/W version. Also the ability to add memory cards gives it great flexability.
