If you're new to the world of handheld organizers, the Palm m100 may just be the right fit for you. Under the hood, the Palm m100 features much of the same great software and options we've come to expect from Palm, such as scheduling and contact applications and an infrared port to beam information to other Palm users. But Palm has added some new features to both the engine (which runs Palm OS 3.5) and the chassis.

Designed to replace your paper-based organizer, the Palm m100 is great for the first-time handheld computer user. Its sleek new design allows you to customize your Palm with an array of accessory face plates. With this handheld computer, you can keep track of and store all your appointments, addresses, and to-do items. It allows you to exchange and back up data with your desktop computer using one-touch synchronization. You can also take advantage of thousands of third-party applications, and download information from the Internet for offline browsing. The Palm m100 is equipped with an infrared beam to instantly exchange and store information, such as business card data, at the touch of a button. You can also jot down notes with it as fast as with pen and paper. It is easy to use and has a backlit display for easy readability. The Palm m100 comes with a HotSync cable. Note to Macintosh users: while the Palm m100 ships with software for both PC and Macintosh systems, Mac users will have to order a free serial adaptor from Palm (shipping charges not included).

Call it living on the trailing edge but I really like this PDA. It does just waht I want with no monthly fees and no battery charges. Works on 2 triple A battieries for a very long time. Main items that it has are calendar, phone book, to do list, and calculator. It also includes a memo pad. Memos can be filed in folders. Phone numbers as well. I have had this product for a number of years. I am on my forth one. When one breaks and I find another one for cheap. If you don't need the internet this is a great choice. The only drawback is that when you change the batteries you lose everything in memory when it gets older. You need to back everything up to a computer, then change the battery, then reload all the memory. It will work about half way through the 21st century. Not y3k compliant. Pete make joke.

I've only had the Palm for 2 weeks now, but I would be absolutely lost without it!! I was an absolute human disaster area. Phone numbers, appointments, and addresses on endless piles of sticky notes and paper scraps. Now I have everything in one place. I even have my shopping list on it!! No more sticky notes for me! Now if I have to jot something down quickly, I reach for my Palm and using the NotePad function, I can scribble my note right on the screen. It will store 999 "notes" which is a LOT! It's my appointment calendar, phone list, notebook, to do list and shopping list in one little package! Being able to "Sync" it with my laptop makes data entry a breeze and is excellent back up in the event I accidentally delete something. I also really love the Graffitti hand writing recognition. It only took a few minutes to learn and is VERY convenient. You write it on the pad, and it translates it to text. This thing is fantastic!!

Well, I tried the m100 for a few days and though I liked some features of it, in the end it just did not do it for me. First off though, the good points. The unit just feels sturdy, it does not creak like the older Palms and feels solid. The cutout on the flip is nice so that the time can be shown through. The shape of the unit is great, feels good when in use. And it's neat to have the option to change the faceplates. Now, onto the downside. First, there is no cradle included with the unit, just a HotSync cable. A cradle would have been nicer. The screen on the unit is 25% smaller than the regular Palms and it makes it very hard to read. The screen is also indented into the body, sometimes making the use of the scroll bars quite difficult since the stylus tends to bump into the side of the plastic face place. And although the cutout on the flip is cool at first, I didn't find it useful after the coolness factor wore off -- I'd rather look at my watch then pull out the m100 and push the up button. Overall, if you're getting started with PDAs, the m100 is a nice unit to start off with. But, if you want a little more, get a Handspring Visor. I did. I returned my m100 and got a Visor for $30. Just think, for the cost of a m100 + a m100 cradle, you'll have just paid enough for a Visor which allows for expansion via Springboard modules. The m100 is not expandable like that.

I never had a handheld before and didn't know if it was right for me. So, I decided to get into the market with the least expensive one. I have NOT been disappointed. I've had the m100 for a week and have already left my Franklin Planner behind (the heavy nuisance now just rests in my office.) The m100 handles my To Do's and Appointments quite well. I can enter them directly into the m100 or into my PC which I then "hot link" to the m100 by pushin a button on the included cable. The included software is on a CDROM and installs easily onto the PC. The synchronization between your PC and the m100 is easy and flawless. The only thing this doesn't do so well is taking notes at meetings. With the Franklin planner, you write notes as you go; here you will have to carry a small writing pad (it is difficult to take notes on the m100 unless you've become some kind of expert with Graffiti, the letter recognition software). But trust me, I'd rather carry the small m100 and a small pad for note taking than the Franklin Planner anytime. In short, easy to use, convenient, and flawless operation.
