Summary: A wonderful "starter" PDA
Review: The Palm m100 PDA has revolutionized the way I keep track of my appointments. I can't imagine life without it! Using a stylus, you can easily enter appointments, phone numbers, to-do lists, etc. by writing in the small screen. The handwriting recognition is less than perfect, but it has come a long way since PDA's were first introduced. Most letters of the alphabet are straightforward to write, but a few (such as K, Q, and T) require specialized, although easily remembered, strokes. Numbers are intuitive, but punctuation requires a little more study.You won't find tons of features on this model, but I find that I rarely use everything it DOES offer. Its simple gray and black screen is easy to read in both bright and dim conditions. Have an appointment next year? A standing one every Tuesday? No problem. Navigating the calendar, from daily to monthly to yearly displays, is a breeze. I frequently use the alarm feature to remind me of obligations I'm likely to forget - it can be set to go off a minute or several hours beforehand. With a push of a button, you can go to your address book, to-do list, appointment calendar, and a Palm stroke tutorial. Icons on the screen itself take you to the overall menu, calculator, and search features. You can synch the information entered on the Palm to your PC, so you'll have two updated copies of all your information. (The Mac requires a little more finagling than does a PC, but is compatible.) I highly recommend this for people who have not yet tried a PDA. You won't be overwhelmed with bells and whistles, and yet you'll have more than enough features to suit your needs. Its reasonable price also makes it attractive for students and people hesitant to carry expensive items around with them.

Summary: Dependable and affordable
Review: I have used m100 for over a year, dropped it twice, subjected it to all adverse physical conditions and it just has not stopped! The screen never froze (unlike m500 series which has a habit of frezing now and then) and I never encountered a software problem. I strongly recommend this PDA for people who just want to organize their addresses and life. I have put all sorts of data into it and I still have 500 kB left. Although it does not have Microsoft Word, I just copy and paste the Word documents into the Memo pad and read them while on the road. However, I like this machine more now with all the high tech PDA's(including the m500s, The Palm Tungsten, and Pocket PCs) freezing and leaving you with frustration.

Summary: My Wife Loves It
Review: I bought it for my wife, and it's the only
`toy` she has for almost everything. No notepads,
no calculators, nothing. It's really great gear.
It may not have enought memory, or colors.
But still it is the best for the money.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I bought mine from someone who upgraded. It was working perfectly for him, but he never commented on what happens when the batteries die. I travel a lot and can't have this problem, but when I get the notification that the batteries are low, even if I replace them within the minute recommended, I lose everything. Also, the graffiti is almost impossible to use and the typing with a stylus is cumbersome also. I've gone back to my Coach date and address book that I wanted to shed because of space and weight when traveling.

Summary: I gotta give it it's props!
Review: I actually recived the M100 as a gift from a realtive. Anywho I bought it shortly after it came out, and at the time it was a great value it was about this time two years ago. It was worth the [money] than but I would say at most is a descent deal, but 2mb of memory won't cut it if you are using avantgo and alot of add on programs, I often found myself deleting old apps to make room for the new ones, I find that the Sony Clie' I bought with 8mb's was more than enough! Anywho, I droped the M100 more time that I can count, I am a teenager for goodness sakes, its very drubale but short on memory, battery life seemed to shorten little by little but I would recomend buying this for a child who needs a PDA or something to play with as an alternative to gameboy, oh the backlite was pretty descent also! I would say buy the M105, serial ports are nolonger made on new computers! Anywho very durable I liked it until it was stolen!

Summary: This is good!
Review: I must say, when I got this, I was a little skeptical. I didn't think 2 megs of memory would be enough. Funny thing is when I started loading games onto it ... with the Hot Sync Cradle(not in the standard package), I still had room for school work over summer (can you believe that???) Anyways, it is versatile, compact and reliable. Until I upgrade, this PDA can do anything a bigger, bada** PDA can. It's just in black and white, not color. Excellent for starters, good for intermediates, don't go if you are a business exec. Go at least with a IIIXE. Be sure to also buy the folding keyboard. I will say right now, HotSync, keyboard and this here PDA are all great products from a trusting company.

Summary: For my first PDA ever, it's very nice!
Review: I got my first PDA today and I must say, it's very useful! I already have AvantGo installed so I can be updated on different kinds of news including Reuters, Bloomburg and Yahoo! The only problem is is that the Palm m100 holds a mere 2 MB and it's not upgradable. I've already used more than half of my memory on the first day!

Summary: Simple is good
Review: As a recent retiree, I still like to use the bells and whistles of technology. However, I don't need all the features of the more upscale PDA's. Consider that the M100 is heavily discounted, in a market where technology changes quickly. Or, spend more and get more, especially if you need to use for business. Great for the non-business user!

Summary: Palm pilot: gadget or useful tool?
Review: Everyone had one; I was tempted but wondered if a PDA was just a new toy with no real long term value in my world. Got the Palm M105, a basic yet powerful model and can't imagine not having it. It was easy to setup; easy to use and when I forget to put it in my pocket; I feel almost helpless. It has been absolutely reliable. There are dozens of techno gadgets- the Palm PDA isn't one of them; it is quite affordable, easy to use and does make daily life better. GO FOR IT!
