Rating: Summary: best investment i made this school year Review: i got this when it (cost more) and i am very pleased. i've dropped it about a million times from about 4ft and it works great. it is perfect for keeping track of assignments, phone numbers, appointments and taking really brief notes. i have been so much more productive with this thing and have no complaints.
Rating: Summary: good entry-level palm Review: The only thing bothers me is the limited memory: 2M only. Other than that, I love it.
Rating: Summary: Off to a good start Review: This was my first hand held; it was received as a gift and at first I was not impressed. My 105 was not responding to the stylis commands and seemed to be a total waste. But with one call to Palm's Customer Service center I had a replacement unit within just a few days. For my purposes such as names and addresses,calendar, To Do lists and Notes it's great. I've already replaced my hardcopy calendar and Agenda with the 105. Considering what you're going to use the hand held for, the basic 105 is prefect (why spend a ton extra for stuff you my nor use) but if you need a more expansive unit you'll need something more advanced than the 105. I have to say there are still some Graffiti characters to which it doesn't respond, but overall I have to give it high marks for it's fuctionality and basic value.
Rating: Summary: Great Entry-Level PDA Review: When our family purchased a Dell computer, I was excited to get this nifty little Palm for free. I didn't really know how much I would use a PDA, and I knew nothing about how they work. Getting the m100 was a cheap way to learn if i truly needed a Palm. If you're unsure about whether or not you need or can use a handheld then this is for you.Pros: - Most of your basic programs (Memo Pad, Note Pad, Phone Book, Address Book) - Includes AvantGo, software which allows you you save web pages to your Palm - All kinds of neat accessories Cons: - Only 2 MB of RAM (most have 8) - no e-mail included - flimsy cover
Rating: Summary: Palm m100 Review: this is a piece of [junk]. it messed up with the stylus. whenever I clicked a button at the bottom, it didn't respond. I had to click above the button in some undefined place for it to respond. it pissed me off. it was a waste of my money.
Rating: Summary: A good basic tool Review: For the money, this is a great deal, especially if you're not a person who's going to have 50,000 address entries, write a lot of email on their Palm, download War and Peace on it, or for any other reason need 8MB of memory. It's very reliable and is a nice size and shape. The flip-top cover is very convenient. Also, the new Note Pad program, which comes with the software and which lets you write freehand notes with the stylus, is really useful for those quick little notes you need to jot down. The only drawbacks: - small screen - it uses AAA batteries (instead of being rechargeable) - its screen surface isn't as smooth and slick as the more expensive Palm models, so it can be slightly harder to write on
Rating: Summary: Great for beginners... Review: Great for people who are just learning how to operate technologically advanced things. The only drawback is that it is not color.
Rating: Summary: Love it... simple and easy to use Review: This is the best. It interfaces easily with both my computer at home and at work. It's easy to use and very compact. I was used to carrying a paper-based organizer and this holds everything that did and will fit in my jacket pocket!!
Rating: Summary: You can even do e.mail www with your Palm M100! Review: I realized that my Palm M100 had the same Palm OS version as the other models capable to do online www. I downloaded the Programs Avantgo, Fax, Yahoo messanger, and Multimail and after making a serial adapter to use my external Zoom Modem I was able to connect to my server and use all the programs! The internet programs work well and fast. The Palm M100 is a great little Device! PS The Connectivity KIT Modem for the Palm III also works great, as the pin configuration is the same as the one the M100 has. All you need is to place a little piece of carborad below the modem connector as it is thiner than that of the Palm M100.
Rating: Summary: Cheap, in both senses of the word Review: As long as you don't plan to use your PDA much, this is the right one to buy because you won't be out much money. In general, though, this PDA frequently reminds you that it is the bottom of the line. The writing area gets easily scratched to the point where it impairs handwriting recognition. The flimsy flip cover has nothing to keep it in place except gravity, so if you're holding the unit in your hand the cover will be swiveling around all over the place. The cover also breaks off frequently - and it's obviously designed to, because of the way it snaps together. Many times when I wanted to quickly pull out the m100 to take some notes, I found that the cover had broken off in my bag, so I'd be set back by having to snap it back together first. The buttons are difficult to press, and pressing the "down" button sometimes causes the whole unit to lift up off the table from the leverage, and then of course come crashing back down on the already-weak case. On the upside, it runs the same software as the Palm III series, so you won't be at a disadvantage there. Furthermore, 2 megs of memory is more than enough for casual use. So as long as you know you want the bottom of the line, you might as well get it, and then spend a bit more money on a protective case for it so that it doesn't fall apart after a month.
