Rating: Summary: Cant Live With Out It Review: I LOVE THIS THING!! it is soooo awsome i mean everything it comes with. I know the Zire is the newest edition but this beats it by a mile because it doesnt come with half of the things that the m125 comes with! AOL is my favorite. My mom got me this for my birthday and it has never left my hands since!
Rating: Summary: The Next, Best Thing Review: The m125 is great. It is essentially an m105 in form, except for the cool new faceplate. However, the processor is te next-generation DragonBall VZ 33 mghz, over twice as fast as its predecessor. In addition, it as the capability to accept SecureDigital multimedia cards, offering games, maps, dictionaries, and extre storage space. It also now uses the universal port, meaning it is compatible with all new Palm accessories. The flipcover is made of hardened rubber, so it will bend more and break less. All in all, just about the best Palm right now. Be warned, however, the m125 s liable to have digitization problems more than an other current Palm. Fortunately, Palm's repair-and-replace service is inexpeisve, top-notch, and easy to use.
Rating: Summary: My review of this palm pilot Review: This palm pilot [is odd] for the following reasons.1. It broke. (batteries were dying when I played w/it- and they were new) 2. Its slow as a pine tree. (It moves, but it takes hours. AND YES THE BATTERIES WERE BRAND NEW!) 3. I don't own it. 4. My friend has one and this is how I know all this.
Rating: Summary: good except one question Review: why some batteries work while some others not at all. I tried different band of batteries. It's just so weird.
Rating: Summary: 5 STARS PLUS 20000 MORE!! Review: Excellent Palm!! Better than previous Palms, All Handsprings, etc. This thing rocks!!! The screen is almost unscratchable unless you take a rock to it!! ONE BIG PLUS is that it uses a plasic screen and not glass (glass=harder to break).....This Palm is much better than my old Handspring Visor Deluxe. Downside-more expensive, but IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

Rating: Summary: my first handheld Review: i've read a few reviews about people having problems with their palm or the screen being too small. i haven't had any problems with mine and i think the screen size is fine. if it was any smaller it'd definitely be a problem, but my opinion is that the m125 is great. of course, i've never tried any other handhelds and i am one of the most unorganized people in the world, so the m125 to me has been a revolution. if you've tried other brands, then this review probably has no value to you, but if you are like me and anything would do, then the m125 is a great tool for organizing your life.
Rating: Summary: I love my palm pilot! Review: I really didn't think I would use a palm pilot, but when my husband gave me one for my birthday I found that having all my addresses and phone numbers right at hand AND my calendar right there too, was an enormous improvement from carting around my fat, book sized planner. The only reason I don't give it five stars is that the print is so small that it is hard to read until you highlight an entry. The best part is the ability to catagorize my address book into areas such as restaurants, doctors, service people, whatever. Having all the information backed up on my computer is a huge plus.
Rating: Summary: Great Product UNTIL IT CRASHES Review: This product is just simply not reliable enough. Mine worked great for 6 months then simply crashed. All my data was gone, all my information lost. I didnt have a backup copy because despite buying the USB cradle I was only able to back it up with my computer on two occasions. After that the cradle simply stopped working. This experience has been nothing but frustration; and Im going back to my Filofax (If I can find it).
Rating: Summary: Excellent product Review: I'm thinking that the only people who post on this section of amazon.com are the unlucky ones. You know, the ones who buy a car, then after driving it off the lot have an accident? Yeah, that's the case. I've had my Palm M125 for about 4 months now, and have had NO with it. Now, you may think that this is an isolated incident, but several people I know have Palm M-series PDAs, and they are the same way (No problems). But I'm not here to yap about how wrong the previous reviewers are. So I'll hop on my soap box and start reviewing. From the very instant you turn on the Palm M125, its smooth sailing. Palm OS 4.0.1 is easy to use, yet has the complexity that techno-geeks like me crave. Think of it as a safe haven from "Windows" OS. The applications are stored under various files, and they are all easy to exit (there isn't an alert window that says "Are you sure?"). But it's really the little things that set the Palm apart from Pocket PC or the Apple Newton (although the Newton isn't a bad choice either ^_^). Palm OS is very much unlike Pocket PC for the following reasons: 1.) The people who wrote the OS obviously know that the Palm computing platform can't be a full portable office. They Accept that. Instead of trying to create this universal bridge between the PC and the PDA (as Pocket PC horribly tries to do), it tries to ASSIST you. Keeping track of names, phone numbers, addresses, web clippings, word and excel documents, and task lists. However, even though it's not a full portable office, the Palm OS lets you take the bare minimum that you need. You can send you Excel and Word documents to you PDA via "Documents ToGo" (which came with my Palm), and you can edit them as well. You can synchronize your e-mail, and respond (when you HotSync, the respond e-mail will be placed on the "Response" queue of the e-mail client.) That to me is enough to buy it (and the Franklin Covey suite is a nice addition as well). But you're probably saying "But Pocket PC can do all those things too" or "I'm going to buy a Palm, I just don't know which one. I'm already convinced." I will address each one individually. 2.) The Pocket PC is a lot like its Windows counterpart. It has to be the center of attention. Just go to a place where you can demo a pocket pc. You'll find it more stress than anything else. But I notice this: The people who complain about errors in the Palm OS don't complain about the errors in Pocket PC. You know why? Because they've come to expect errors from Microsoft products. I'm not trying to sound like a renegade, but think about it. When was the last time you batted an eye when you're Windows XP machine said "Fatal Error line 33334.222x 32" and then froze? You didn't because we have low standards for Microsoft products. Palm is the other way around. I've had about 4 errors on Palm, none of which were fatal (mainly just me taking up to much memory). But I almost freaked out, because it was so out of character for my PDA to do that. Besides, Pocket PC is expensive compared to the Palm Pilot. 3.) Which one are you going to get? I would recommend this one. The M100 doesn't have an I/R port and doesn't have an expansion slot. M105 has an I/R port but no expansion. Jump up to the M125 you get both plus 8 Megs of memory. You might want to bump up to the M130, which is the same except the screen is color. The M505 and M515 are big steps up. A few hundred dollars, so I would only advise those for the serious Palm fans. But why shouldn't you go to the Palm VII or Palm IIIc? Simple: Compatibility. Most of those PDAs are running Palm OS 3.0 or lower. That's fine if you never want to add software or anything like that. Most (95%) Palm software requires Palm OS 3.5 and up. M125 comes with Palm OS 4.0.1. 4.) Regarding the "sharp edges" and "hard to read screen". Again, I think we have an isolated incident. This sharp edges thing cracks me up. I wonder if when he reviews a book he says "It was a fine book, but the edges on the hard back almost hurt me." Give me a break. The screen is small, but it's easy to read if you have eye balls.
