How did I live without it?

Date of Review:  Feb 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: Well worth it!
Review: I just got my m505 a week ago. I bought it directly from Palm because I wanted the red m505. This was a mistake. They screwed up my order several times and charged me each time. I was determined to return it as soon as it was delivered.

I...

My Constant Companion!

Date of Review:  Jul 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: Sleek, professional, feature packed,and color! I highly recommend the Palm M505
Review: I had a difficult time trying to decide on the compaq pocket PC or the new Palm M505. After trying both, I chose the M505. The Palm OS 4 is much faster to navigate through, I feel extremely well organized, the Pocket windows software seemed to hang...

Palm m505 reviewed, compared to color sony

Date of Review:  Jun 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: A good PDA, however if money is no object, get the sony.
Review: I purchase the Palm m505 a month a ago finally making the plunge to buy a PDA. It is easy to use and comes with lots of pre-installed software like "documents to go". The PDA was very easy to use and I had no difficulty setting up the Palm.

Palm m505 - the best yet...

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: The m505 is the perfect PDA, with a good color screen and slim, good looking design, I highly recommend it!
Review: The Palm m505 is what I believe to be the best, or one of the best, Palm OS devices. The m505 has a modern, redefined Vx look, and while keeping it in a tiny package, have added an extra expansion slot as well as a color screen! Many more minor and...

It fills a certain niche

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: It's a workhorse with lots of goodies. If size and personal/work data come first, it's perfect. If you want an entertainment tool and size isn't important, keep looking.
Review: That niche being those of us who want a SMALL form factor and lots of power. I've had mine since October (I paid 450 for it; that was before the big price drop and the free 16meg card. Curses.) minus the 14 days it took for Palm to exchange it for...

Bargain Hunters Do Well to Consider M505, Otherwise, Get an M515

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a color unit by Palm and can't afford it, then this is a good choice; otherwise, if you can afford one, buy a Palm M515.
Review: I recently purchased a Palm M505 and it was a tough choice when comparing it to other PDAs from other vendors. Eventually I decided to be conservative and go with Palm who has been around longer in the PDA market than most other vendors. Color was a...

Perfect PDA that's not a hassle to carry with you everywhere.

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is the only truly practical color PDA.
Review: The most important advantage for the M505 is its very compact and solid design. It's small and sturdy enough to keep with you at all times without being obtrusive or worried about damaging it. The screen is always bright enough when ambient light is...

Room for improvement

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2006
Review: The Palm m505 takes a step backwards from the rock-solid III series, adding unnecessary features and design flaws to what was a fine product. The color screen is poorly backlit, illegible in daylight or brightly-lit rooms, and fragile. Other...

Old Faithful!

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: Still the best PDA Os in a fine package, Easy to use and learn.
Review: I have purchased many Pda's over the last six years and have come to the conclusion that for everyday use the Palm OS is the simplist to use. With the Palm M505 you do not need to read the manual to use it and it is quick and easy to learn.
The...

Date of Review:  Aug 17, 2002
Review: It resulted more than I spected. I'm very pleased with my new handheld. Although I've got some problems when downloading the new palm OS (dos not support win XP), it worth the time I spent.
