Pros: clearer display, small size, flip cover Cons: display still not as bright as my iPAQ, rechargeable battery
Fate, and maybe a bit of impulsive stupidity, put my Palm m130 in my wallet. However it got there, I am glad it did. It is the perfect PDA for me. The m130 gives me the features that I need with a price that I can afford. No, it is not the best PDA...
Pros: Sporty design, affordable color PDA, memory expansion card, 33MHz processor Cons: no Flash ROM, small screen
Overview
Although the Palm m130 didn't quite fit my needs, I think this is an exception handheld. The m130 still fits in the shirt pocket, provides all the functions of an everyday organizer, gives you access to the majority of Palm OS...
Pros: Reasonably priced color PDA, included software, expansion card slot. Cons: Hard to put into Hotsync cradle.
UPDATE: at bottom of review
I had a Palm III back in 98 or 99, but I never used it much and gave it away to a friend. I never thought that I would have the need for another PDA, but this year that all changed.
Pros: color screen, rechargeable battery, 8 MB of memory, small, affordable, attractive Cons: I wish it had 16 MB.
Laptops are too expensive. I don't like to write by hand, I prefer to type. What is the only electronic portable device other than a laptop that you can type with? A PDA, which is short for Personal Data (or Digital) Assistant. There are two main types...
Pros: Fresh, stylish look with color screen for good entry level cost. Cons: thicker than the Palm Vx I had before.
DISCLAIMER
You will find that I am not one of these folks who has each and every PDA on the market.(Do they really personally own 8 or 9 PDA's?) I have had two personally and been exposed to two others, although not nearly...
Pros: Expansion Slot, easy to use, rechargeable, included software Cons: Plastic screen, stiff cradle, life between charges

For the last six years, I have been a Sharp Wizard user. All I wanted from my handheld was a good organizer, scheduler, to do's etc. I put off leaving my Wizard behind because I loved the perfect keyboard, big screen etc. Alas, after serving me well...
Pros: You'll use it, stylish, price, color, many free programs available Cons: color display less vibrant then other color displays
Update Late January 2004 my Palm power button stopped working. This irritates me and it doesn't appear it will be fixed without forking over more bucks to Palm. I've had an otherwise great time so far with my Palm. The good news, is I can ...
Pros: Handles well, good vivid color, SD/MMC expansion and SDIO abilities, easy to HotSync Cons: Battery life, customer support, poor for outdoor use
To be perfectly honest, I'm still relatively new to the whole "handheld" universe. My first PDA was a Palm m125, but I always wanted an earlier PDA, but never felt that I could justify one. The m125 suited me quite fine until I decided I wanted either...
Pros: Color screen, affordable, SD/MMC slot, nice faceplate Cons: Narrow viewing angle, small screen, poorly designed cradle and only mask ROM.
For those that find are unsatisfied with their handheld's color screen or just like to make an upgrade for a color screen, yet trying to conserve our wallets for something different. The Palm m130 is your handheld solution to color, without breaking the...
Pros: Vivid colour, high resolution, long battery life, rugged, and great design. Cons: Only 8 mb, and memory card on side of device
First of all, the Palm m130 is an inexpensive handheld, now that doesn't mean it doesn't preform well. It preforms great! I got the Palm m130 as a Christmas gift, and i've had it for about 4 months. I've been really liking the Palm m130, it is really ...
Pros: : price, solid color screen, SD/MMC Memory Expansion Slot, 8 MB of RAM, nice design Cons: small screen, problems whith cradle, thickness

I received my palm as a present at the beginning of this year. As I'm a techie, I immediately rushed to the internet to find as many programs for it as possible, and I'm still spending countless hours surfing.
Pros: Color screen, easy to use Cons: Hard to clean
The Palm m130 is a very excellent PDA. I was looking for a PDA that had a color screen, basic electronic organizer capabilities (datebook, addresses, etc.), and the capability to load additional programs onto it. I found the m130.
