PalmOne m125 Handheld

Summary: Between the batteries and customer service, is it worth it?
Review: I have owned the m125 for about a year now. Overall, I have no complaints. As a high school student, it enabled me to take extensive notes during a certain history class with a keyboard, but any palm can do that. The expansion slot is what caught my attention. I could have the option to upgrade it. I think I shall upgrade to bluetooth thanks to the Zire 71, which has OS 5 not supporting it (sarcasm, people, thanks were not in order). 8 MB is ideal for the average user of a pre-OS 5 palm. And you can always expand. AAA battery slots enable the user to select whether they want to waste money on batteries or buy good rechargeables. I use Rayovac rechargeable alkaline. I can keep plugging them in at will, while a palm with a built in battery would require that I bring a charger and hotsync cradle with me. Do I lose data? This has happened, but the wise Palm user performs a hotsync operation on a periodic basis. Thanks to this, I have not had any lost data. The monochrome screen helps the palm give you more hours to a set of batteries. I get a sense of wasting power when I use my color palm for features this one can handle. Infrared is a must have for interaction with palm friends, and this has it. Then again, every palm I know of has it. Palm OS 4 takes care of everything the OS 5 can't. Overall, this is a great palm, I would continue using it for time to come. I'd recommend this one 100 times over the Zire or Zire 21. I think the zire & zire 21 are overpriced for their features.
