How is it possible to live without it?

by Online Shopper , Mar. 30, 2003

Comments:
The palm m500 is a very good choice: all the functionalities are available, as well as many accessories. Unfortunately, the display could be a little bigger but most of all, color is a must.

QuickTake:

Pros: more useful than you'd think, easy to use

Cons: better take the color. B&W is frustrating

Palm crash

by Robin Kollar , Jan. 16, 2003

Comments:
I've owned my Palm for all of 3 months, and it suddenly died on me and wont recharge. I called Palm and a repair takes up to 3 weeks, or you pay $40 and get a rebuilt one in 7-1o days. So that is how their warranty program works. Very dissappointing.

QuickTake:

Pros: good performance for a while

Cons: crashed palm and dissappointing customer service

Recommended: No

This product is excellent small sized for carrying in my handbag. It is quick and easy to use for fast phone numbers and I like to use the filing systems for phone numbers. I put all my current client/customer numbers on the Quick List.
