Date of Review:  Feb 5, 2003
Review: I love this Palm, I got it on sale and the colour is great and it's fast. I only wish that I was told that the Palm m500 series has a hardware defect with the USB syncing chip, which fails when a static charge zaps the unit, Palm tech support...

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2003
Review: I purchased this Palm as a gift for a clinical nurse specialist in oncology. The PDA was used on a Macintosh and Dell computer. In three months it failed to hot sync which was due to a manufacturing defect that Palm failed to report to anyone. In...

It's OK but not worth all the hype!

Date of Review:  May 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: I would avoid it, stick to the cheaper Palm's, or if you want color get a Jornada.
Review: I work for a company that sells the Palm Pilots, I won't meantion the name, because it's not necessary. Anyway, I was given one free of charge and after fiddling around with it for a while, I realized that it wasn't all it's cracked up to be.

Pretty good for it's Time

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2005
Review: When I bought the m505 I loved it and still do. It works very well and is VERY durable. Now that technology is advancing, it has become obsolete. But, if you are looking for an older model like this you can probably find it cheap. Overall, it is...

Worthy successor to Palm V series

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a great PDA for both new and experienced users - it's lightweight, colourful, powerful, and is has a long battery life!
Review: Backstory

After 2 years with my faithful Palm V (upgraded to 8 MB), two weeks ago I decided to take the plunge and get the new top of the line Palm handheld, the m505. The main reasons for my upgrade were expandability and colour. My Palm...

Carry your life in the Palm of your hand, with the m505

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: Great mid-range handheld device. If you're looking for low end, buy an earlier Palm, and if you're looking for high end, go with a Compaq H3670.
Review: The m505 is one of the latest in Palm's long line of hand-held devices. While in most obvious ways it seems a far cry from, say, my Palm III, it retains a familiar design and feel -- partly due to its continued use of Palm OS (Version 4.0 to be...

Palm M505--Color My World, This Thing is Great

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2001
The Bottom Line: The best PDA in the color 'space' today, for reasons I specify in this review.
Review: My days using a Handspring Visor Deluxe are coming to an end, thanks to my testing of this precious PDA.

I've got to say up front that this PDA is about as good as it gets in the Palm OS flavors. And although I do have some minor concerns...

What A Palm Lover Needs: M505

Date of Review:  Jul 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: The M505 isn't revolutionary. If you're looking for Nirvana in a PDA case, look elsewhere. If you're brand loyal and have $449 to spend, the M505 will tickle you pink.
Review: ***WARNING: I AM A HAPPY PALM USER (read: Biased), and this is a long opinion. If you're looking for an opinion that trashes Palm, please look elsewhere.***

Its a Palm!

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: If money is a factor, don't buy, but if not...charge charge charge!
Review: Wow, this is the first PDA I have found that isn't that bad. The range of features is incredible and the menus are very easy to navigate. I was amazed what Palm has done with their OS. Its a lot easier to use than the OS from Microsoft, CE. The...

Just what the Doctor ordered.

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2001
The Bottom Line: Amazing great machine in such a small package. Great for doctors with software choices.
Review: Let me say first I am new to PDAs so this epinion is one of a novice. I don't think you have to be a technojunkie however to make a worthwhile epinion. Take a look at the help at compusa. If it were up to them to help me make the choice, I would...
