 Poor customer service is a real deal breakerAug 25, 2009
PalmOne m505 Color Handheld
I have owned and used my Palm M505 for several years. It has occasionally glitched and had to be erased, reset and had all of the data reloaded. While this is a great annoyance it is not the end of the world if you have your data backed up on your computer. The unit is not at all outstanding, but is functional and works reasonably well. What doesn't work, at least for me, is the extraordinarily POOR support from tech or customer service. Heaven help you WHEN you have a problem out of warranty. I have always been treated extremely rudely every time I have had any contact with Palm. Any tech support you receive will cost you a lot of money, and I have always gotten the feeling that their system was set up to insure that this is exactly what will happen to you. I gave this product one star because there wasn't any lower rating I could give. In all fairness, the unit itself doesn't rate just one star, (maybe 2-3) but given that you will have to deal with customer service or tech at some point, there is no rating I know of that adequately expresses my disdain for their abysmally poor customer treatment. I will NEVER buy another one of their products. There are a lot of good alternatives with customer service and tech that are MUCH better.
 Handy Palm PilotMay 04, 2009
I find the PalmOne m505 to be a convenient PDA.
This handheld is great for storing phone numbers and appointments.
In addition, you can use document reader software that allows you to
look at powerpoint, excel and word files. Documents to go is usually included in the software disk that comes with your PDA.
These have a color display and are backlit for low/no light condition usage.
You can use standard sd cards to expand memory to hold files but not applications.
 Screen not brightApr 06, 2009
The unit appeared to work fine but the screen just is not bright enough to do any work with. I returned it to the vendor and he is in the process of swapping it with a unit from another manufacturer.

Good BuySep 04, 2005
I bought this new to replace my Palm organizer that was stolen a few years ago. I haven't had any problems with it and I've had it for about three years now.

 Perfect for almost anybody!Jun 25, 2004
The Palm M505 is a neat little PDA. It's features are perfect for students to business people. There are many positive elements to this little Palm.The Palm M505 is the perfect companion for a student. It's small size and low price makes it perfect for somebody on the run and someone in need of a durable, compact Palm Pilot. In it's life, my Palm has been dropped numerous times, gotten soaked in water, and gotten thrown into the bottom of a backpack countless times. Again, it is perfect for anyone in need of durable database.
