Palm M130

The palm m130 is a great gadget. Infact I could barely live without it! Its great value for money at just over 200.00 with a colour screen I might add! I did have a problem with the screen as it became misaligned I needed to send it away to palm's factory for repair, the process was simple and fast. I sent the pda way and was returned within in 1 week fully repaired. Thanks to palms Hot Sync all my data was fully restored! Since then I have had no further problems whatsoever. I really commend palms excellent support services. The m130 supports SD cards and thanks to its universal connector it can be connected to a modem and an external keyboard (which I?m using right ...  Read the complete review

This curvy little entry-level palm easily sits in a pocket and does the usual basic Palm PDA functions of managing contacts and appointments. It's all plastic including the screen which means it's light. Unfortunately the display is absolutely useless in normal daylight and you will be walking into shadow int order to be able to use it. The colour screen is a good thing but unlike it's earlier entry level siblings (the m125 or m110) it takes a factory fitted battery which means you have to crack the case with a spudger to put a new battery in. Though these are now fairly cheap. The older entry level Pam PDA just took some AAA batteries and you didn't need to crack the ...  Read the complete review

I have never been a fan of electronic diaires, and if I'm honest I still use a conventional diary, but then I did not buy my Palm m130 for the diary capabilities. I have had this for several months now, and I wouldn't be without it. You can use the PC software provided, or you can do as I do and synchronise it to your Mocrosoft Outlook settings - this means you can synchronise between your PC and Palm to keep your contacts, diary, notes and to-do lists current. But there is so much more to do! I don't yet use half the features since I don't link it to an internet connection, but this is what I do use my Palm for: - addresses ...  Read the complete review

Being a spendthift I rarely buy the most expensive solutions to problems. I had a Psion 5MX that was a gift, and was doing ok, but it died. So then I got a palm m105. Was impressed! So impressed I upgraded to an m130. All the functional palm apps are there. You can get by quite happily with just the address book and calendar, thought the palm to-do list is one of the best I've found on PDA's. As with other palms, this is a stylus only beast. No keyboard supplied. You can "type" fairly fast with the on screen keyboard rather than curse your memory on how to write "x" on the handwriting pad. In the field it's fine for ...  Read the complete review
