Digitizer works poorly - often becomes erratic almost every time it is powered on.

Strengths:

The Palm m105 software is pretty good and flexible.

Weaknesses:

My main complaint is that the digitizer often becomes erratic and does not select what I want. For example, if a list has 10 items and I selct item #3, it selects item #2 or item #4.

Posted Nov 21, 2005 - This erratic input from Stylus frustrates me a lot and I have to train the PDA for accurate Stylus entry almost everytime I turn it on. I hate this and I am not sure if it is only my PDA hardware unit or other users also see this issue. One more issue is when I hide passwords and other info and transfer the data to a PC using HotSync, the Palm Software on PC does not allow anybody else to view the passwords, but the Palm Software on a PC stores these passwords in plain text in Windows directory structure which can be accessed by anybody who has access to the PC. Palm needs to store hidden or masked items in encrypted form on the PC hard disk as well so that nobody else can access them.

Strengths:

Very powerful organisation tool at a reasonable price

Weaknesses:

Compatibility issues, no expansion, dust under the screen

Posted Apr 9, 2003 - I guess this is a great model for students..i haf been using the m105 for the past year and it had proven to be really good in terms of organising data. The 8MB is generally enough for plenty of programs.

Strengths:

Price

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Dec 16, 2002 - I really enjoy my palm, and I don't know about the other revews but mine doesn't eat up the batteries, and it is perfect for getting yourself organized, with a low price. Also with a keyboard you can type long documents on it then put it on the computer, the zire(about the same price) does not offer a keyboard. I would recommend any plam to anyone, but for the person on a budget a palm m105 is perfect.

Strengths:

Price, Ease of use, compatibility, many programs available

Weaknesses:

No expansion, only 8MB of storage

Posted Dec 11, 2002 - I was using a Royal DaVinci DV1. I had technical problems, and I exchaged it for the Palm m105. I am impressd. I didn't want a palm, I wanted a PocketPC. Pocket PCs start at $500. I'm not made of money. I love my Palm. I am reading books, playing games, keeping track of appointments, and much more. The m100 and m105 are kind of getting fazed out. They are fine to buy if you want to give one or don't care about compatibility. The m500 series is here to stay. The m125/m130 is essentially the same as the m500s, only they are cheaper, MUCH, MUCH cheaper (the m125/m130 are bigger and heaver). Batteries: Yes, this thing kind of eats batteries, depending on use. I just bought some rechargeable batteries for $20. But think! what are you powering? It's a little tiny comptuer! Don't complain! I reccomend this product. But, if you have the money to spend, go for the m125, it has an expansion slot.

Strengths:

Price/performance point

Weaknesses:

expandibility

Posted May 10, 2002 - I got my palm a couple weeks ago, and already it has proven invaluable. I always forget things, but now, i just put things in the todo list, and carry my palm around. Whenever I have that nagging feeling I'm forgetting something, I flip it open and there is that thing I'm supposed to do. One thing i'd like to see is a link cable, so i can hook it up to my cell phone, and download driving directions or e-mail when i am away from my home computer.

Strengths:

Very quick computing time; very detailed orginizational system

Weaknesses:

Easily scratched; protective flap is easily broken; graffiti is often difficult to write in (takes multiple times to get the correct letter)

Posted May 7, 2002 - I needed something simple to keep me organized, and it does a wonderful job at that. However, I doubt that this PDA will last longer then 2 years of daily/regular use.

Strengths:

Easy Use, Accessable

Weaknesses:

Short battery replacement interval

Posted Nov 20, 2001 - I have had Jornada 680 for 1.5 years and just purchased a Palm Vx because I needed the versatility and mobility. It's very easy to use and very mobile so I purchased a m105 for my daughter on her birthday this month. We needed the additional memory for a Bible application. She loves it and uses it for both the Bible and scheduling school events and project / homework deadlines. We are going to purchase 2 additional units for our sons as a Christmas gifts. No games on the until it's used for what it's designed for. A nice business tool and a great way to encourage kids in the area of organization.
