Summary: My New Handheld
Review: I like it.It will hold details.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: great but batteries make only OK
Review: Palm M100 dies every 7 days. The batteries just don't last - even if I don't use it. It usually ends up being dead and all info lost about every week. I have an older model Palm III which is similar, but the batteries last a few months before they die.

constant hotsync and battery replacement is a pain. try to get a Palm III instead.

Summary: Teacher Learns a New Lesson
Review: I ordered this Palm Pilot and absolutely love it. I do not know how I have lived without this before. I used to carry a day planner and I was always forgetting to transfer appointments and other necessary dates from my calendar to day planner. With the Palm Pilot, I put it in as needed.
I guess even a teacher can learn a new lesson.

Summary: Many problems
Review: I have the 105 w/8mb memory but it's the same pda otherwise. The good stuff is the size and easy to carry around. The bad stuff is that you must use a serial port (the usb kit rarely works and is major trouble). My pda has to reset whenever you change the batteries so I must do this next to my computer to re-synch. If you can get it for cheap, it does the basic job. Make sure your pc has a serial port to sync, many newer pc's do not. Also, downloading software updates from Palm is a crapshoot since many dll's did not download. Support via email does not resolve problems.

Summary: Couldn't Have Survived Freshman Year of College Without This
Review: I got this during my freshman year of college and am really glad that I did. It helped keep me organized and was cheap enough that it didn't break the bank. I could also play games before the professor/instructor came to class.

Suggestions:
I would definitely suggest getting a case for it, so you don't have to worry about the cover flipping open. I would also suggest getting a keyboard for it because you can type your notes out and sync them with your computer when you get home. Get an extra stylus, too. I lost mine a few times (always found it), but that what you will have one when you need it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Adequate
Review: Good points:
It does everything that you might expect from such a device.
It rarely crashes (only when you install buggy software).
It has enough memory to run numerous applications.
It even runs Java, Python, etc. programming languages.

Bad points:
With a wallet in one pocket and a phone in the other, where are you expected to put the M100???
Where is the free development software that you can find for similar devices?

Overall, I'm happy with my M100. If only I had an extra pocket...

Summary: User Friendly, but too out of date.
Review: This came in on the latter(and cheaper) end of the long line of excellent Palm products, and is a very easy to use, ergonimaclly friendly toy. Yes, I said toy because unfortunately it's just too out of date. You can now have as many features on your cellphone as this offers, and even at under $40 - buying something that has only 2MB of memory and is not upgradeable is simply a waste. No offence to Palm, I like their products, and have had several, but please wake up and smell the future! There are now a great many affordable PDA's out there that you can do so much more with, and products like this, however well made have just been left behind. For example, at still under $100 is the Hewlett Packard Jornada 525 Color Pocket PC - upgradeable and has ten times the power and functions. Save your money, and buy something more modern.

Summary: Welcome to the world of PDA's!
Review: My dad always has the most up-to-date high-tech gadgets. I had often admired, and played around with his PDA. When I started college, he bought me the Palm M100. I love it.
First, I don't have to keep a big address book full of sticky notes with new addresses or numbers that will never make it into the book.
Second, this is a great way to keep track of which classes you're taking and when they are.
Last, it is a great method of knowing when homework assignments, or work projects, are due.

The M100 offers all of these features, without adding things that you just won't use.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Lasted only a year
Review: After only a year of use the screen went haywire and did not recognize stylus properly. Could not fix it even with on-line tech support. They wanted [$$$]. to send it back and then additional cost to fix it. Liked it until it failed - Needed more memory for additional applications I wanted to add. Can't live without a PDA now.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Review of Palm 100
Review: Although I have loved this Palm and all it's functions, it only lasted a year with I'd say average use. The screen has several dead spots (won't react when touched with stylus). I also was disappointed that it was unable to handle a simple program that a "Handspring" model that was several years older was able to accomadate. I would probably get another "palm", but perhaps NOT by this company or model. I do have to be fair, my husband has one of the same age and type. He has had no problems, but his is used considerably less.
