I think in general I would have been happier with the tungsten, especially considering that the price difference between the m515 + sdio bluetooth card and the tungsten isn't very big.

But nearly everything I had with my III works with it, so I'm pretty satisfied, and I'm happy with the additional memory.

Great form factor
I upgraded from a Palm m130 when the m515 price dropped recently. The m515 has a larger screen. The amount of text you see on the screen is the same, but all the letters are larger making it much easier to read. I find this a big plus.

The m515 is nearly 50% thinner (0.5 vs. 0.9 inch) and is lighter (4.9 vs. 5.4 oz) which makes a world of difference if you want to carry it around in your pocket. I found I was always leaving my m130 somewhere due to the bulk, then the annoying task of hunting around to find it - and eventually likely to lose it that way.

I compared m515 vs. Sony PEG SJ33, to my mind its closest competitor and priced the same. Palm wins on the form factor, although the Sony has higher resolution, faster processor and more features. But Sony is thicker (0.9 inch) and heavier (6.1 oz). Caution on this comparison, though: Sony data may include its flip cover, whereas Palm data excludes its leather cover.

By the way, Palm doesnt say much about that cover - it comes with the product - no need to buy a special cover, in my view. This one works fine. Easy on-off if you don't need it and want ultra-slim for the shirt pocket.

The m515 is a very pleasing product to have and to hold (literally). But I would suggest anyone do a close comparison with the SJ33 and see which one fits your own comfort level better.

Very Nice
I have barely owned the Palm m515 for a week and I am loving it! Wow! I previously had the Palm IIIe, which performed very well over the 3 years I had it. But I am loving this m515. I did a lot of research before buying it ... First of all, I really like the backlight ability it works very well. Secondly, I wanted the additional memory, the m515 has 16MG compared to the 2 MG I had with the IIIe. Thirdly, I own a Navman GPS navigational unit and it works seemlessly with the m515. For those who do not have a navigational unit in their autos, this is a wonderful alternative. Ok... let me get off the soap box!
