Stylin' Without Color

Date of Review: Apr 13, 2001

The Bottom Line: Basically the same unit as the new Palm m505 but with a monochrome screen. Which model you buy will depend on how attached you are to a color screen.

Review: Think Palm Vx revitalized and ready to meet the future and you have the Palm m500. I?ve spent a week with the m500 obtained from retail sources in advance of the release scheduled for later in the month. Virtually everything contained in my m505...

Date of Review: Apr 16, 2001

The Bottom Line: Unless you are a V/Vx owner who loves the form factor but needs more memory, I would avoid the m500 until there is a critical mass of shipping SD devices.

Review: I got the chance to see the m500 recently when Palm came to the Boston PDA User Group. He didn't have the m505, but luckily a different Palm employee who came to the New England Palm User Group a few days later did. I already wrote a review of the...

Finally, an update to the venerable Palm V series. (SD/MMC update)

Date of Review: Apr 11, 2001

The Bottom Line: Overall a good unit but may not be for everyone. Other options in Palms exist, with better pricing. This is definitely a unit for high end users!

Review: I know many people have been waiting for some time now for a new Palm handheld... not the redesigned m100s and m105s, which are the old palms in new cases and sizes but Palms with something extra. In March 2001, Palm announced the m500 and m505...
