Summary: i'm addicted!
Review: I just got my Palm M100 yesterday, and I'm so glad that I bought it. It's a great price, and it does everything I need. If you just need an organizational tool, this is what you want to buy. I guess it doesn't have enough memory for lots of programs, but to store contact information and appointmets, it's perfect. I was also impressed at how easy it was to learn to use. I am using it with no difficulties, and the only thing I used the manual for was to synchronize it with my computer (which pleasantly surprised me by going seamlessly). People have said that the cover feels flimsy; it is pretty thin, but mine doesn't show any signs of popping off or pressing the buttons unintentionally. I love it, and I highly recommend it, especially if you're on a budget!

Update: After having this PDA for over a year, I wanted to add a few comments. Other reviews mention problems with the flip cover; and it is true that it does, at times, pop partly off, and mine has actually broken a bit near the hinges. But the small chips haven't affected its function at all, and the few times the cover has popped off hardly seem irritating enough to mention. My main complaint at this point is that the screen seems to be losing sensitivity. It does not recognize letter strokes as well, so I cannot write very quickly. I did reset it and begin again (easy enough since you can simply synchronize with your computer to recover all the information), and it seems to be working better, though there are still a few "dead spots" on the screen where it does not consistently respond.

Other than that, it has worked perfectly. And I figure that for $100, I couldn't expect much more, so I am leaving my rating at 5 stars, since I think it is well worth the money.

Note: I also bought a Kodak PalmPix to go with my M100, and it has been lots of fun. If you can't afford a digital camera and just want to be able to take a few shots every so often to e-mail or whatnot, it's a great toy! It does use up your battery more quickly, though, so be forewarned.

Summary: Palm m100 a Great Buy
Review: I wanted to get into the Palm world, but at the same time not spend a lot of money doing it. So I bought a Palm m100 last September--and have not regretted it.

It does almost everything the higher-level Palms do except wireless Web access (which I don't need anyway).

I don't like throwing batteries away, so I bought two AAA NiMh rechargeable batteries, which have worked out very well. Currently my m100 is still using the same batteries I charged over Thanksgiving--almost a month ago!

I highly recommend this Palm especially to anyone who is as unorganized as I once was. I no longer miss meetings and teleconferences (thanks to the Calendar Alarm feature) and am always up-to-date on what's going on in my personal and professional life. I save my credit card numbers and other confidential information "under wraps," away from prying eyes utilizing a Security password.

I absolutely refused to carry around one of those bulky notebook planners... the Palm has proven to be the perfect solution for me!

The m100 is a must for organizing one's life!

Summary: Not worth the battery changing hassle
Review: Even for the cheap price, this is not worth the hassle. The batteries die quickly without any warning, thus losing any information loaded into it before getting a chance to hot sync with your PC. There are many other used products on the market a lot better than this one. Save your money and future headaches!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun, simple, and functional
Review: I just got my Palm m100 from Amazon yesterday, and within minutes I had it up and running, was entering text in Graffiti, and performed my first Hot Sync. The Palm 3.5 OS strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and functionality. Unlike the PocketPC platform, Palms don't try to do too much, and that's what helps them excel.

The m100 is light, rugged, attractive, and comfortable to hold. The screen is smaller than other Palms, but quite sharp. I'm looking forward to getting one of the colored faceplates. My only complaints: the flip cover doesn't snap into place, and it requires a USB adapter to connect to my G3 PowerMac. C'mon Palm--in this day and age, USB should be the standard connector.

Other than these small complaints, the m100 is a great value. Buy it if you've been toying with the idea of getting a Palm but don't want to spend too much and don't want something that looks clunky (like a Visor). You'll be surprised how much you can do with it.

Summary: Great PDA! Too little capacity...
Review: I got My M100 as a gift and I was very excited since I've known Palm PDAs for a while and I know what they can do.
The M100 can do all what other older models can (except for the mail application which I don't need and Expense which I consider annoying) and maybe more. I love the notepad, not included in the Vx.
Allright, since this is my first Palm, I am very happy with it and I love everything about it... well almost everything...
2MB is just not enough... I've owned it for only 2 weeks, and it's already full. If you're planning to use it for your datebook, contacts and memos ONLY, it's ok, but if you are like me, you will want to install some of the 1000s of palm applications you can find on the net... and like me, your M100 will soon get out of space.
So I'd reccomend you to spend a little bit more, and buy the M105 which has 8MB or if you're planning to use a lot of space buy the M125 which has a memory card slot.

Summary: Spend the extra dough and get a VIIx
Review: I had my palm m100 for all of a week before I maxed out it's memory. To top this off, I couldn't get the heap of plastic callibrated to save my life. It was more of a pain than an organisational aid. It would literally take me five minutes to figure out the exact spot that I needed to touch my (cheap plastic - in a pinch a hairpin worked fine) stylus to. It annoyed me beyond belief. The main perks of the M100 include it's small size, changeable face plates and a good price; but you will get so much more out of a handheld that you spend a few more dollars on. A couple months ago I upgraded to a VIIx. It [...] had oodles and oodles of memory AND internet access. I also test drove the M105 but ultimately liked the VIIx a lot more because I could check movie times and stock quotes. I'm a student and heard often that the M100 was perfect for students; it wasn't. It took me ten minutes to hunt and peck in my assignments and by that time I was late for my next class. Final word: throw down the extra cash and purchase either the VIIx or the M105; they're the same price and I think the only difference is that the VIIx has the internet and the M105 has sticky notes. However, there is a monthly charge for internet service on the VIIx [...]

Summary: Excellent product that is well worth the price!
Review: I purchased this product with much hesitation. I was ambivalent as to whether continue using a old fashioned paper-pen organizers, or go electronic with the Palm m100. However, I finally decided to test the product, and if I was disappointed in its features, I would simply return it. Well, I can tell you that I would not return this product, for I am happily dependent on it. It is much smaller than the traditional organizers and the sleek design entices you to carry it everywhere you travel. The memory capacity is plenty, for I have installed nearly ten programs, have more than sixty address, have my schedules, and still have 1.75 mb of free memory. Basically, if you tend to write down schedules, or forget appointments, the Palm m100 is a wonderful device for you. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Just Ok
Review: I have this pda. I got it for my birthday but i seem to never use it. When I always go to the store I see the ones there I wish i got a nicer one.
Why I rated it only 3 stars is because it doesn't have any of the cool options that the other ones have not even bluethooth which I have on my computer so I can't use it. It does you basic task for me a ,kid. I wouldn't recomend buying one with a camera , I have a 4.1 megapixle Kodak easy share camera (READ MY REVIEW). I've heard that the ones with the cameras shot horribly bad resloution and will not take nice picture so with my i would take a reguler camera , digital. But I use Micrsoft word so much i need it on the go but when i cant travle a long way with my Sony labtop i need somthing that i can type in. This one does'nt even hav Microsoft word.
But the thing I hate, is when i have to put new batteries i CAN NOT GO Out of the thing where you put your stylest you have to keep on hitting it where it says to go for HOURS----------------------------------------.
It's a thing for just writting down notes and planning a sceheduel.(...)DON"T BUY THIS ONE IF YOUR A GADGET GEEK LIKE ME IT JUST DOES REGUler STUFF>

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Durable little Puppy
Review: I won the m100 from Palm back in 2001. It's served me well. I've dropped it, banged it, and a few things in between and it still works. I've only had to replace the flip cover. I've spent probably $24 on batteries over the past 3 years for the device. I've gotten the full use out of a free product. For the person new to palm who doesn't need all the bells and whistles this is the one for you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Product!!!
Review: This PDA is absolutely great! It is low priced and has many feautures. I was very surprised at some of the programs that you could use with it, even video, audio, and photo programs. Why pay over 200 dollars for a color pda when you can get one with most of the same features for 70 bucks or less? It is great and I highly recommend it!
