Advantages: Lightweight

Disadvantages: Display can't be used in outside lighting conditions

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 case. To read ebooks on them I recommend plucker from plkr.org, as it can convert html and txt files and is completely free. The USB connection makes it easy to back-up and sync with your computer data.

Summary: Light but you'll be standing in the shadows
