Summary: No email?
Review: I bought the M100 as a replacement for a Plam V that I had lost. I just assumed that it has email, and it does not. How could other reviews not point that out?
Other than that, it is ok.

Summary: Horrible service support!
Review: After a little over a year, my M100 died. The problem was diagnosed by an unofficial service center as a dead internal battery (it keeps the unit from losing data while the AAA batteries are being replaced. A call to Palm's 1-800 customer service yielded this solution: buy a new unit! I checked on the Web where I might buy the battery and found out that this is a lemon fault. Palm knows about this factory design defect, but they're not doing anything about it. I'll never buy a Palm again.

Summary: Great deal for the money
Review: I have been searching for a PDA for several weeks. I was seduced by the all the bells and whistles on the many units offered...love the look of the Sony Clie. Found this PDA for a great price and decided to forgo the extras for the time being.
The Palm m100 is easy to use,read and hot sync. I feel more organized after only day of ownership. Great unit for the dollar.Excellent starter PDA. I am sure I will out grow at some point for now it is terrific.

Summary: Good, but not enough RAM
Review: I saw on eBay that the 2 mg of RAM would be "more than enough." It wasn't. I had to squeeze to get everything I used on there, and I now use an m105. Other than that, it's a great product. I didn't find its "bulkiness" to be a problem, nor the fact that it comes with a cable, not a cradle.

Summary: returned it
Review: i wanted this device to work and it did have the potential...positive was the ease of interfacing with my mac. big problem was imputing data either via the touch screen(non-responsive or incorrect response)or character recognition. backlighting was also very poor. would try another model if these problems were solved.

Summary: Too little memory
Review: I bought the m100 almost a year ago to replace the agenda I used for planning my day. I've been using a handheld for scheduling ever since, and I would never want to go back to a paper agenda. A handheld is much easier to carry around. Also, I can write my task list on my computer (and edit and delete things however I like, and move tasks to a different date without rewriting them) and then transfer it to the handheld; my paper agenda was always messy because I kept modifying my task list. One thing I couldn't manage to do on a handheld is use it to take quick notes at meetings. The Graffiti writing is easy to learn, but even after a lot of practice, it still takes longer to write than normal handwriting. The m100 has a program that lets you write on the screen in your own writing, then save the note as a graphic; however, I couldn't really manage to write anything that I was then able to read; the program did a very poor job of capturing anything I drew on the screen. An important disadvantage of this model is that it doesn't have enough memory. At first I thought I would not need more than 2 Mb, because that's more than enough for keeping appointments and addresses, and I thought that's all I ever wanted to do with it. But then I discovered that I could download newspapers and free e-books from the Web and read them on the Palm, and that I could use some more memory for that. I finally got myself a Visor Deluxe that has 8 Mb memory, and that's much better because I can store several books at a time on it and not worry about deleting things first to make space for them. Another disadvantage is that the screen is smaller than on a Handspring Visor, so the letters are noticeably smaller on the Palm's screen. It didn't bother me very much, but I'd rather have a handheld with a bigger screen if I have a choice. The m100 is a good handheld for its price, but if you can afford to spend a little more, buy a model that has more memory.

Summary: tiny screen
Review: My m100 is a nice reliable little unit. If you are looking for something conveniently small to use for basic functions such as names and addresses, appotintments and maybe the calculator, sure it is great. The screen on this series though, is very small, and coupled with it's low memory capacity (2meg) the m100 does have its limitations. Yes, you can run many other applications on it, but again, its small screen size, depending on the application, can be a problem. Like all Palms, its Hot Sync capability runs flawlessly with a PC. The backlight on the m100, like many other palms, in my humble opinion, is pretty useless, unless you are in the pitch-black. I havn't seen a backlight anywhere as efficient as the one on my trusty Apple Newton Messagepads of a few years ago, and the m100 is no different. All in all, a capable little unit for running basic applications and the its small overall size and screen size, can be a plus or minus, depending on how you plan to use this pda.

Summary: I kicked the datebook habit
Review: I didn't think I would be able to give up the security of my datebook but I took a giant leap and am now hooked on my Palm 100. I love it! I especially like that I could enter all my address book info on my PC and then Hot Synch it to the Palm, very user friendly. I also bought a colored faceplate in order to tell my Palm apart from my husband's when both are in the same area. (There is a great variety of faceplates available for customization!) I will never go back to using a datebook again!

Summary: The Best!
Review: The Palm m100 is really the best. It has everything that I need. It's not a really fancy palm with e-mail, and internet. It's just the basic, datebook, to do list, adresses, that sort of stuff. There is also a search, calculator, and a back light. You can also install games and other things from palm.com. I reccomend the game HardBall. If you want a palm like the m100 but in color, try the m125, or the m130. Both are the best, too.

Summary: Good handheld for the price!!
Review: This is a great handheld. I have one myself and it has helped me so much. Another thing is that you can download games and software off the internet for free at palm.com. One of the problems is that you can only have the batteries out of the Palm for only 60 seconds otherwise you will loose all your stored addresses and everything. Except for the applications that were pre-installed on your handheld. One of the best things is that it's so small and easy to use. I know someone who owns another Palm, except for the model. He has a Palm V. I can't though tell the difference between the two except for the looks of it. So I think that this a superb handheld that you should buy.
