Pros: Palm OS, cheap, get 4 colors to match your dresses Cons: cheap and limited possibilities
I have long resisted for long time to buy another PDA (I own a two-way pager with full mini keyboard), partly because those Palms are so expensive. I had seen the Handspring Visor for $150 but some epinions here warned me from it.
Pros: Simple to learn (for the average non-technical person), covers the basics, lightweight and compact Cons: Glare on the screen, flip cover pops off easily and hard to reattach, causes jealousy in neglected spouses
The first time I saw a Palm device in action was last year when a good friend of mine was using his to record an address. Three thoughts went through my mind in quick succession:
Pros: Low price Cons: Not upgradeable and the display is small.
A PDA for $149, the Palm m100 is small in price, light in weight (4.4 ounces) and small in size. (4.66 inches long x 3.12 inches in width x 0.72 inches thick.)
The screen is monochrome and is about 2 inches x 2 inches. It...
Pros: The benefits of a wallet, a computer, an address book, a calendar and a note pad combined--readable in the dark! Cons: 2 Mb RAM memory becomes too small quickly
Time has not been kind to my memory—my ability to remember dates and times, my recall of peoples phone numbers and where streets are located (unless I go there every week). The quantity of data I used to be able to store in my own gray cells just...
Pros: Great convenience and organization. Cons: Somewhat flimsy in rough conditions.
With the start of college this fall I found myself to be like every other stereotypical college student...unorganized and tired. I knew that I needed to change some of my horrible habits so I bought a Palm m100 to help myself get organized. I'm far...
Pros: Smaller, Added Features, Low Price Cons: 2MB of Memory
Palm has now released the first in its new wave of handhelds. In a unique package costing only $149 it combines a number of features that were not standard equipment on its other models. Palm has done so in a smaller and customizable package.
Pros: Convenient and easy to use! Easy OS interface. Cons: A bit pricey
Poor little Johny! There are no more excuses for not completing homework and doing the garage and bedroom chores that all children take part in. His parents finally realized that this hip device will keep him organized. So they bought him the Palm...
Pros: cheap, well built, nice features Cons: small screen
I recently have been very interested in PDA's and have noticed that the price of some of these units has been dropping fairly dramatically recently. This is usually the case as technology ages, and I have been waiting for the prices of these units to...
Pros: Sharp LCD, more sensitive touch screen, compact size, uses alkaline batteries Cons: Screen small, fragile cover, 2MB of memory, not expandable
I don't need no stinkin' DayRunner. All the info I need I write on my Palm.
I have a PalmPilot Professional that has served me well over the years, and the folks over at Palm were good enough to send me a replacement model when my original...
Pros: Price, Design, Color Face-place options, Palm OS 3.5, New note-taking software, Very practical Cons: 2 MB of memory, OS not upgradeable, 2"X2" display
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: “…a PDA for under $150?” Hmm… I wonder how useful this device can be? Considering it’s made by Palm, it should be alright. Right? It’s actually very nice. The more curvy design (compared to its siblings)...
Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, great functions, low price Cons: Get a protective cover!
I've heard a lot of people rave over Palm products before, but had never been inclined to go out and buy one for myself. Luckily, I was a good boy last year and instead of coal in my stocking (which was neatly hung over the chimney with care) I found...
Pros: Easy to use, compatible with other Palm devises, Notepad that you write on screen Cons: Battery powered, small screen, not a lot of memory, memory not upgradeable
(Updated 7/15/02)
I'm the type of person whose had a daily planner ever since I was in Middle School so that I may be able to keep my day straight. Usually, my planner would be bulky and would not fit in my purse.
Now I'm in college and I...
Pros: Small, makes your life easier Cons: 2MB of memory
I wanted the Palm m100 for a few reasons. First I needed a way to easily manage my class schedule for college which would be a pain to use pen and paper to organize the unusual 3 day schedule I have next semester. I also wanted something to...
Pros: Small, Cheap, and functional Cons: No cradle and small display
Palm has released it's answer to the visor handheld PDA. The Palm m100 is sleek, light, and inexpensive. It fills the same niche that the visor has targeted. The niche I am referring to is the 'not so technically oriented as to pay over $300...
Pros: just what I needed, nice and small, easy to use. Cons: Expensive accessories
Looks good, easy to use, lower cost. I'm one who doesn't need e-mail etc.,so the features on board are enough. I started 6 years or so ago with a with a "Casio Boss" 64K and never filled it up, so 2MB can hold more stuff than the average user...
I got my Pam couple of month ago and it does the job that I need… I will give you a quick overview on the Palm m100 device. It is a small device: 4.66" x 3.12" x .72" ; 4.4 oz (11.84 x 7.92 x 1.83cm, 124.7g). It has a 6cm x 6cm screen, which displays the...
Pros: graffiti feature, lightweight, lots of features Cons: cover is a bit flimsy
I got my m100 last week after pre-ordering it from Buy.com. I was looking forward to finally having my own PDA. I had been in the market for a practical PDA for a few weeks, and my husband recommended I wait another couple weeks for Palm's new m100. I...
OK....I was skeptical about the new Palm m100. I've hosted Palmtopia (www.chrisopfell.com/palmtopia.htm) for the past two years and seen all the Palm devices. I've owned three of them, from the very first model. First, I did not like the way m100...
I was afraid of shell out $300 for a more expensive PDA and end up like some who left it gathering dust on their desks. The m100 is extremely affordable, small, and has all of the basic features that you need.
After having previously encountered a Handspring with less than desirable after-effects(read "The Quirky Palm?" on epinions), I was interested in the new device released by Palm, Inc. on...
Pros: Inexpensive compared to other Palm handhelds Cons: Tiny screen, awkward flip-top, not enough memory
I have been an avid Palm user for three years now. The PalmIII replaced a monstrous, and mostly ineffective, three-ring binder's place in my life, and I am grateful for that.
And, as time went by, I upgraded my unit twice....both times due to...
Pros: Inexpensive, Easy to use, Sleek Design, Easy to add new software Cons: Hard to read in medium lighting, does not come with cradle
New And Improved Review!
I had originally written this review about a year ago (which I've incorporated into this review). I feel now, a year later, being an experienced Palm m100 user, that I must review it again.
Pros: cover for screen, size, price, easy to use Cons: button to turn on could be placed better
Palm m100
About a month ago I lost my "Franklin Planner" of 8 years. After carrying it around for that long I actually felt only half dressed without it. So down to the Franklin store I went and after picking out a binder, pages and...
Pros: Powerful, small, incredibly useful, right price. Cons: Black and white display, not immediately internet ready.
Great help, even better price!
A while back I read a review of the Palm M100 in a magazine and decided it sounded like it was right up my alley. It was that and then some. I've tried planners and Day Runners in the past, but I've never...
Pros: Cool design, new software Cons: Smaller screen
In this review, I will focus on what makes the m100 different from other Palm devices, rather than rehashing all the common specs. The m100 is a sleek, curvy entry level model of the Palm family and runs all the same software. The bundled software is...
Pros: Cheap, small, PalmOS 3.5, sketch pad application (Notepad), built-in cover Cons: Cheap plastic build, small screen, Not scalable.
Palm - the wonderful hand-held gizmo that allows you to keep your expenses in track, and look cool in commute! Increase your efficiency, and keep up to the world of technology .. what's better than that?
Pros: Cheap price. Cons: Plasticky feel, and not upgradable.
I purchased this PDA about 1 month ago after reading a lot about it from various websites. It was just one of those things that you bought because you wanted to play with one, and not because you really had to have one. My plan when I bought this was to...
Pros: Cheap and very functional Cons: Cannot expand memory
If multi-tasking is a way of life, but you either are short on cash or (like me) want to wait a couple of years for the day when our cells and PDAs and MP3s are all combined into one gonzo gadget, the M100 is for you.
Pros: Sexy Design, Affordable, Palm OS Cons: Only 2MB Memory, Small Screen
I received the palm pilot as a graduation/valentines gift from my girlfriend. I must say, this is the most practical gift I have received in a long time. Let me start with the basics.
Pros: Cost, faceplates, exclusive note pad Cons: Screen size, amount of memory, no wireless internet functions
I never would have pictured myself owning one of these handy gadgets in my life, and that’s because of two reasons. One, I am not the most organized person in the world and find it a real chore to lug around a planner in which I must flip through pages...
Pros: Sexy PDA, cheap Cons: Small screen, stupid faceplates.
This PDA, I must first say, is great and I love mine. It's sexier than any other PDA barring the Palm V or maybe a cutesy WinDoze CE iPaq. But it suffers from some shortcomings due to its attempts to be cutesy. The screen's tiny, and is only available...
Pros: Compact, batteries last a long time Cons: Overpriced
I bought the M100 based on Epinions comments. I also comparison shopped for an alternative. I looked at the Royal Davinci and Handspring but settled on the Palm because it had the best reviews and most users.
Pros: Inexpensive, compact and intuitive Cons: Not many--screen could be a touch bigger
I am a recent (reluctant) convert from the bulky paper "Day-Timer" that I couldn't live without. I freely admit that I was uncomfortable putting my entire schedule and rolodex onto one tiny computer. Being a self-employed businessman, I live...
Pros: nice compact size, easy to use for a novice Cons: many complain about the small memory capicity
I had never had a handheld computer before and always carried a big bulky, messy paper organizer in my bag. I have a pretty busy schedule and needed something to plan my appointments and keep track of addresses. This is perfect for me and about 20% of...
Pros: Lightweight, small, easy to use, full of great features, and fairly inexpensive Cons: None
This type of gadget isn't made to surf the web, send faxes, or play in-depth color video games. This is one big thing you have to understand when purchasing this product. If you're in the market for a palm that will be an advanced electronic address...
Pros: It is cheap, easy to use for beginners. Can select 4 language when setting up. Cons: Cheap shell. Easy to break. Screen not sensitive.
Palm M100 is the new babe in town and I, as a person who dream to use the 'palm computer' was really excited when it hit the town.
My dream of having my own Palm was back 2 years ago after looking at my colleague Palm III.(At that time, money was...
Pros: Don't know how I kept organized without one! Satisfies my number one requirement- Functionality Cons: It's own rechargeable battery and charging/docking cradle would be nice.
If you're like me, you tend to lose track of things. Important stuff, like phone numbers, birthdays, addresses, that project that's due RIGHT NOW that you forgot about.
Relax. If I can use the m100 to get organized, so can anyone. I will miss...
I was found myself browsing around Circuit City and this nifty little palm pilot caught my attention. "Wow, a new palm!" I thought to myself. What really caught my attention...
When shopping for a handheld device, it's easy to get carried away with options.. it happens to me all the time. When I decided to buy another PDA, I made sure to write down what I would use it for. My list included Contacts, Memos, To Do's and...
Pros: Fun and easy to use. Perfect for students, moms anyone who wants to be organized. Cons: None so far!
If you're life is as busy as mine, and you find yourself running in circles trying to organize your life and you want to turn your busy life into an easy life, the Palm m100 will help you accomplish this. This little hand-held computer will assist you...
Pros: Price, Features, Size Cons: The Graffiti writing takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's so much fun!
I like to be organized and love electronics. However, I'm also a consumer who does her research and likes to get the most "bang for her buck". The Palm series seemed like a perfect marriage of value and function to me.
Pros: Cost, Features, and Simplicity Cons: Flimsy Flip-Top, Lack of Expandability, 2 MB Memory
A little background:
I am a teenager, and as a teenager, I’m always strapped for cash. Unfortunately, I work at a local Office Depot, which happens to carry all the latest gadgetry and equipment designed for the professional. I also happen to be...
Pros: Great to have to keep track of important contacts, and dates, and memos Cons: If your going to purchase a Palm Pilot, investigate the product first, as with anything else, and don't load the software onto your computer, unless you have more than one computer.
I had a Palm M-100 that I got about a month ago. It has created so many problems that I decided to return it to where I purchased it. When I loaded the software into my computer, my whole computer system was not working correctly. For starters, my modem...
Pros: Small, good price Cons: USB cable sold separately. Small stylus
My needs are simple; calendar, address book and maybe someplace to keep a note or two.
I don't run a corporation or have the life of a star, but I do like to remember when my next haircut is or when a friend is having a party, but I don't like...
Pros: big bang for buck Cons: construction, bug in datebook
I had the m100 for a couple weeks, then I proceeded to lose it. Well, I promptly went out & bought a new one because those were the 2 most organized weeks of my life. The address book, to do list, memo pad, datebook & the new note pad are...
Pros: Small, easy to use, easy to sync with computer. Cons: Small amount of memory.
I received the Palm m100 for my birthday last November and was really excited - I spent the rest of the afternoon transferring my address book and, as soon as I got home, got online and downloaded tons of games onto it. It was a fun gift, and I was...
Pros: Value, convenience, portability, ease of use Cons: Smaller screen may take getting used to
My paper Franklin Planner was getting worn out from use and abuse, so I decided to try the Palm M100. And even though I'm attached to paper and pen, the new device is working very well as my primary organizational tool.
Pros: cheap, fast, reliable, killer battery life Cons: only 2MB, monochrome, small display
I was quite skeptical about the Palm M100 at first. It was my first PDA and I didn't want to buy something that would disappoint me. The M100 is great in the respect that it was built for people who don't need much, like myself. If features is your...
Pros: Small, Light, Cute, new Palm OS Cons: Not upgradeable to new Palm OS, power button a little funky
I currently have a Palm III and I have been considering buying a Palm V or Palm Vx for quite some time but I just couldn't bring myself to plop down $300 - $400. And then a long came the m100 at $149.
Pros: Sharp screen, lightweight, small, rugged Cons: Small screen
I picked up one of the new Palm m100s to replace an older III series. Now, the differences between the two are not too significant, but some things do stand out about the m100 that makes it a worthwhile purchase for anybody 1) without a Palm and 2)...
Pros: Small size, small price, big functionality. Cons: No metal stylus available for the M100.
I recently replaced my broken Palm IIIx with an M100. My first thought was to get a newer version of the Palm IIIxe. After doing some research I realized that the M100 was really the one for me, and I would be saving a bundle at the same time. I was...
Pros: Small size, without price of Palm V Cons: Plastic case a bit cheap feeling.
The M100 is here! The NEXT generation from Palm, with new features and a better price! The M100 is very similiar to the base model Palm IIIe It shares a number of characteristics with the Palm IIIe and the basic Handspring Visor: they both run the Palm...
Pros: Cheap, resistant, gets the job done Cons: Only 2 megabytes of memory, screen quality
I bought this Palm just a month ago, this is my first Palm so I decided to buy the cheapest one just to know if it could do something for my messy life. It really works, as long as you use it, you start finding more and more applications that help you...
Pros: Cute; changeable faceplates; simple. Cons: Screen is small; not a lot of RAM.
Well, I can't go into great detail about the technical aspects of the Palm M100 because I'm not really concerned about that myself. I can, however, tell you what someone who "just wants one" thinks about it. I'm sure many of you just want one to have it...
Pros: Low Cost, Ease of Use Cons: 2MB, Lack of Upgradeable Memory
As a tennis professional keeping a schedule is very important to me. I have to know when I'm teaching and who the lesson is with. For years I have used a day timer paper planner but recently I decided to get with the times and try a Palm.
Pros: Most inexpensive PDA available. Unique Features Cons: Small Screen, Only 2MB Memory, No USB cable.
A bought a m100 for one main reason, so that my girlfriend would stop borrowing my Palm IIIxe to play Dope Wars. (You can get Dope Wars form Download.com). As an added bonus, I would have an m100 to test my software on. When you test software, it's...
Pros: light, sleek, all-around great PDA Cons: I've had trouble with receiving and beaming applications
I recently got a Palm M100 for Christmas. I opened the present and of stared blankly at it, trying to analyze it. I had no idea what I would use it for, but I thought, hey why not. I opened the box, inserted the batteries and I was ready to go. It took...
Pros: Low cost, good value, proven operating system. Cons: Feels "cheap", lack of expandability.
THE SHORT VERSION :
It's rugged, it does everything it was designed to do, and it does it very well. It isn't the most powerful Palm, nor is it the most expandable. But if you want a simple, very functional little PDA without burning a hole in your...
The Palm m100 is a great gift to give someone for the holiday season. I was the happy recipient of one myself, but after doing my research and observing the PalmIII. I would have prefered the Palm III. The Palm m100 or the Palm III are both great...
Pros: Great for frequent, mobile usage Cons: Addictive, not back-lit.
I recently purchased a Palm m100 upon starting my job as a network tech at my university. In general, I have trouble remembering names, numbers, and what day it is. I can honestly say that stealing my m100 would equate to a lobotomy.
Pros: lightweight, easy to use, convenient, and very functional Cons: Palm just keeps coming out with even better ones.
I received the Palm m100 last fall as a gift. I had always heard of Palm Pilots and I was looking for an electronic organizer. But this is far ahead of the little address book organizer.
There are changeable face plates, very stylish. You...
The Palm m100 has somehow managed to organize my life. I keep track of my appointments, birthdays, even the aerobics class schedule at my gym (it hasn't motivated me yet to go but at least I know what classes are given that day!) in the handy datebook...
Pros: Price, functions, ease of use Cons: no e-mail
I have been wanting a palm pilot for awhile, but high prices have kept me away. When my friend showed me her Palm M100 and told me the price she paid, I knew I had to get one for myself.
Some people have complained to me about the small...
Pros: Sturdy, Stylish, and a REAL PALM Cons: Low memory!!!
Palm Functionality without the Price
The M100 is two things. Compared to its more expensive corporate targeted brethren, it offers the bare essentials at best. But compared to other offerings in the same price range, it also packs loads of...
Pros: Compact Design, Stylish, A Full-Featured Palm Cons: Only 2MB of Memory
I love this little gadget!!
I originally was in the market for a Palm in July of 2000, weighing my options and coming to the conclusion that I didn't want to drop $200+ on something I may or may not use a month after I bought it.
Pros: Affordable and Convenient Organizer Cons: Entry Level fixed memory not for Power Users (2MB)
Shopping for my first palm pda was not a simple task. Even in the tiny Asian country (Philippines) that I live in, there are scores of PDA's that are available in shops. PALM Inc. makes a lot of models not to mention those from IBM, Handspring, etc....
Pros: From a brand name, useful portability. Cons: Ugly shape, only 2 megs, small screen.
Although the M100 PDA from Palm is clearly targeted at first-time PDA buyers, it is more than adequate for most peoples needs. Especially cool is the new notepad feature which allows you to scribble notes directly on the screen ( write neatly, though)....
Pros: Great value for the price Cons: Its plastic rather than metal
I had an original Palm II which died after being used daily for five years. I went out and bought the Palm 100 the next day. The Palm 100 is great. Not only will it help keep track of your phone numbers, addresses and calendar it has a...
Pros: Cute, works very well, holds a lot of data. Cons: All the great software available make you yearn for more RAM after a while
I have been considering whether to buy a Palm for sometime but I just wasn't sure whether I will find it useful. I have been blissfully disorganized all my life and I did not feel any pressing needs to change my chaotic ways. I have always felt there is...
Pros: Small, light, tough, PlexiGlas screen Cons: Small screen
I've owned and used a few of the devices on the Palm line up. I started (and returned) on a Palm Pilot 1000. Following that was the IBM WorkPad, Palm IIIe, Palm V, and Handspring Visor. My Palm V is the show off machine because it is sleek and...
Pros: Small size, rather inexpensive Cons: Tiny screen, limited memory
Soon after taking the Palm plunge with a Palm IIIxe, I purchased an m100 for my wife. I hoped that having a PDA would improve and organize her life as much as it did mine. Much to my dismay she did not take to the PDA as I did, and the tiny Palm was...
Pros: Size, price, features Cons: memory, no cradle with unit, and the m105 is a better overall value.
This opinion is more to alert you of the Palm m105 as opposed to the Palm m100. I am going to be quick so please bear with me, if you would like to learn more just go and search the product on am electronics store website.
Pros: light weight, easy to use Cons: screen glare, hard to keep screen clean
Being one of the most unorganized people around, I thought I would see if a PDA would help me out. So, I set out shopping for one. WOW, they were pricey. When I ran into a Palm M100 for $89, I thought what the heck I will try it. Am I glad I did....
Pros: sleek design, infared port, cheap, durable Cons: 2mb of memory only, serial connector, no cradle
I recently bought the m100 after being convinced into it by my friend. I was reluctant to buy palm pilot but I got it anyway. I use it far more then I ever thought and love it. I usually sync it to my computer download articles off the net and read...
Pros: Ease of use , performs tasks assigned well. Cons: un-upgradeable., battery , advantages over paper oraganizers?
I purchased this product recently to help organize my job search. I just graduated from college and am pursuing an IT career. I needed something to organize much of the information I get from headhunters and other contacts. My paper organizer was bulky...
Pros: Cheap, slightly better software when compared to the Visor. Cons: Small screen, ergonomic problems.
This review is a comparison of what the Palm m100 lacks when compared to a Visor. In my humble opinion the Visor is a much better deal. The Palm M100 maybe appealing with its low price but you would be happier if you bought a low price Visor. The Palm...
Pros: Small size, big features Cons: Accessories cost a lot
Never having owned a Palm, I did not quite know what to expect when I bought the m100. I was pleasantly surprised at what I got. Someone finally made an organizer that actually deserves to be called a computer.
Pros: Cool looks, sits comfortably in hand, brilliant software and even better web-browsing software. Cons: For some, 2MB memory.
No e-mail application?
There is so much to talk about when it comes to the m100 that I’ve split this up into subheadings.
The physical Side of things – Rating: 5/5
What can I say? The m100 is so comfortable when I hold it – unlike other models such as the...
Pros: Small size, reasonably powerful Cons: 2MB of memory, easy to damage without a case
I was stepping up from a Sharp 512K Wizard Organizer. I do not look for "RAM heavy" PDAs because I only use it for scheduling and games. I purposely bought this one for the features and price.
If you have never used a Palm before, it takes a...
I received the M100 as a gift for Christmas last year. I wanted to eliminate using my planner and consolidate my 3 phone books. I carry it with me everywhere I go. I love the fact that I was able to group the phone numbers by category. It's great for...
Pros: Everything and the Color Covers Cons: Glare on Screen
I got my Palm for Christmas this year and I absolutely love it. I am a High School student and I always put my homework in my "To Do" list as I get it and then after I do it I just check it off. I find myself doing my homework just so I can check it off...
Pros: Great OS. Lots of useful software available. Cons: Hidden costs of accessories
I have tried to gear this review specifically towards those like me who are on a tight budget, but still want a kick-ass PDA.
First of all, a little background. I am a graduate student in a PhD program (close to being done). I wanted a cool PDA...
Pros: Good price and software Cons: not enough memory
Palm Inc. does a good job of producing a truly affordable PDA. The m100 costs under $150 but is still a very effective business tool. I use mine to keep track of all appointments and contacts. As soon as I get another business card I input all the...
Pros: Palm is a good company, but this the competition (Handspring) has a better product. Cons: Really disappointing that this organizer is considered an "upgrade" to Palm III series.
Thinking about purchasing a Palm m100?
Great, electronic organizers are an awesome addition. Since you will be using it often, you may want to evaluate the reasons this organizer appeals to you, over others. Other options are used versions of...
I purchased the M100 about 2 months ago. Since that time it has simplified my life greatly. This device has organized all my projects and contacts for work. It is very intuitive to use and offers plenty of aftermarket applications. Another acolade of...
Pros: Under $150, Good software, Sturdy Cons: Smaller screen that competition
I have joined the leagues of Palm users. I delved in w/ the Palm M100, for $149 plus $17/2 year warranty (that covers screen breaks) I am happy w/ my decision. I mainly bought it to replace my old Casio PV-200 (which I broke 3 of). The M100 is built...
Pros: cheap
Classy design
Runs all non-Internet Palm apps
Syncs to Outlook
Cons: Not for power users; no Internet, only 2 mb RAM, no color.
About two years ago, I bought a Palm III organizer. Now, I didn't get it to play Tetris on my way to work; I got it for its most basic features; the address book, date book, and memo pad. Being a geek, I also got the 8 meg version of it, as well as the...
Pros: Great price, small, lightweight, lots of standard Palm functions. Cons: Smaller screen, only 2 megs.
I have personally owned a Palm III, Palm VIIx, and (currently) a Visor Edge. I bought the M100 last year for my girlfriend. At the time, they were going for $129, and I still think that was a good deal. Now they're down to $80 or less and that's a...
For the truly disorganized, the m100 is a great way to start keeping track of your life.
For less than 150 bucks, this low-end Palm unit does the job. It keeps track of addresses/phone numbers/e-mail addresses, it keeps a running to-do list of...
Pros: Basic functionality, apps, size and convenience (if the unit actually works correctly) Cons: Inaccurate screen leads to non-functional graffiti in 2 of 2 units; inexcusably ABYSMAL tech support
My first Palm m100 was given as birthday gift. Little did I realize the ridiculous set of circumstances that would ensue.
(and also, some background, lest you think I write this review lightly. I am a computer professional, software...
Pros: Small, compact, good as a first palm-pilot Cons: Not good for busy executives
I very much enjoy my Palm m100. I have had the m100 for about 1 month. I use my Palm for the basics of the time, date, phone numbers and addresses book and a few fun games. I am very satisfied with the amount of memory because it fits my lifestyle. I am...
Pros: cheap, upgradeable, easy to use, long battery life, Cons: small memory,
Don't let it's price fool you, this baby does everything that the big boys do, except drain your wallet. I was skeptical of PDA's at first, but now I can't live without mine. Just before christmas i came across this unit for under $100, so I figured it...
Pros: Easy to use, inexpensive and very useful as an organizer. Cons: Not many upgrades.
I am now a freshman in college. I received my m100 as a present from my uncle before I left for school. I contribute a large portion of my success (3.86 first semester) to this Palm product. I am not an organized person and throughout highschool I would...
Pros: Cheap, small, cute. Cons: only 2MB of memory, no Mail app.
My girlfriend owns the Palm Vx, I like it a lot but the $400 price tag is a bit too expensive. Being a technologist myself, I know PDAs with Bluetooth that will be more integrated with cellphones, laptops, desktops, and even your car stereos are just...
Pros: easy to write, small, portable,nice,easy to make a schedule, good for work Cons: it gets messed up easily, not that much that much bad things to say
The Palm m100 is easy to write with. You can either learn the alphabet(special) or just use the key board you can click on with your styilst. It's small. Thats what I love about the Palm m100. It's portable, so I ussaly put it in my pocket. Since...
Pros: Keeps my appointments, lets me write out reminders, download info off the Internet Cons: 4-bit monochrome display (non-color screen)
Being eighteen and in high school, I was a little perplexed when I got my m100 as a birthday gift from my brother. I let it sit around for a few months, but finally my curiosity got to me and I picked it up, finding out what it could really do. Not...
Pros: Light, Nice face plates, convenient, cheep!!! Cons: None
First off, the faceplates are really cool looking and that is what drew me to this product. I previously received a Palm IIIc as a gift and so I decided that it would be nice if my girl friend had one too. First off I think I chose the wrong gift because...
Pros: Fits comfortably in hand
1-touch access to time and date
Cons: Smaller screen
Memory not upgradable
I didn't need a Palm when I bought the m100. My life wasn't very frantic, and I had most of my appointments/phone numbers firmly stored in my head. To make a long story short, I bought it because I wanted a toy that might come in handy sometime.
...
Pros: easy, affordable, and durable amongst other things Cons: None come to mind
I suddenly felt my life spinning and thought I needed to get it in order. I'm a single mom of two, a full-time student and twenty one year old very social person. Always making appointments, coffee dates, have to be here and there...and so on. With that...
Palm seems to be a pretty innnovative company as far as functionality goes. But from the stand of point of product design, the Handspring people have them beat again. The m100 is kind of cool, I quess the idea ofit is, the shape of the case is neat but...
Pros: low price, trendy, core functionality Cons: little industry support
As an up and coming college student, the prospective of buying a desktop paired up with a PDA in leu of the now-standard laptop seems to be a favorable option. However, the vast array of PDA choices is a bit overwhelming.
As far as the Palm m100...
Pros: Easy to use, easy to upload programs Cons: 2mb of memory doesn't seem to be enough
Is it a God? Not quite but this product will help in you in many aspects of your life. The traditional planner with paper and pencil will be obsolite. All the memory you need for addresses, phone numbers, appointments and to-dos. Exchange and backup data...
Pros: Rugged, good-looking, easy to use, cheap, powerful Cons: only 2 MB of memory, fairly small screen, Hard cover tends to fall off
First of all, let me say that this is my first digital assistant. And secondly let me say, I love it. That isn't to say that it doesn't have it's problems. The screen is a bit small, though I have not owned other Palms to compare it with. And The...
The new Palm m100 is targeting the same market as Handspring's Visor. At only $149, the m100 is $30 cheaper than the Visor making it the lowest priced Palm OS device, complete with PC cradle.
Pros: cool, cheap, has solid functions Cons: you can't never compare it with your desktop
Palm m100 is a very nice unit to have for personal use. Well, it will make a great gift for a student. (since my girlfriend gave this one to me as my birthday present) It helps a lot on organizing your time and makes sure you do everything at the right...
Pros: Suprisingly useful, Tons of free applications available on the internet. Great price. Cons: Small memory and screen
I'll be honest here. A few months ago, I wouldn't even consider spending money on a PDA. I thought they were nerdy, useless, and annoying. All I need is a pen and a piece of paper (where'd I put that damn piece of paper, anyway...). Then about 2 months...
Pros: Easy to use and durable. Interfaces very well with Microsoft Outlook. Cons: Memory is unstable. I lost everything stored in it at least 3 times.
My Palm was a useful tool for a couple of years, despite some problems, however one of the problems became so annoying I finally threw it into the trash.
I bought the m100 because everybody in my office had a Palm Pilot. The peer pressure was...
Pros: TINY, versatile, very very cool Cons: 19.99 for a faceplate?, sucks battery power
For christmas, I have had a wonderful time. One of my prersents was this kickass pressie...a Palm Pilot! I've always wanted one, mainly because of my organisation skills. Basically, I don't have any.
I bought mine from The Carphone Warehouse, a big...
Pros: Excellent for the beginner; runs all palm software and is cheap! Cons: 2 MB of memory isn't a lot, flip cover pops off easily.
The m100 was the first PDA I ever owned. I'm now the happy owner of a Palm IIIc, but was very satisfied starting off with the m100.
This palm came out a couple of years ago, and listed for $150, although it's not hard to find one for less...
Pros: New era in technology, great for school, work or play Cons: not much!
This is the best idea in a long time. A very affordable, very beautifully made palm m100 is what I'm talking about! I think this is a new beginning for PDA's. At around $149 the competition will have to make PDA's cheaper and cheaper and soon many...
Pros: good price, brilliant features Cons: couldn't find any
Palm m100 the latest in PDA's is here it is now even more compact than ever while having a incredibly sharp screen [one of the best I've seen in PDA's]. This is one amazing PDA I bought it mainly because I have a very busy lifestyle. But man was I...
Pros: Changable faceplates, stylish, lighter then the Visor. Cons: Not expandable, Not mac-compatible out of the box.
The Palm M100 is aimed more at kids and teenagers but we all know that the only reason the m100 came out was to compete with the new line of PDA's from handspring. The following is a look at the m100 and how it competes with the similarly equipped...
I gotta say.... I was extremely iffy on buying the Palm M100. It was 150 bucks - while its competitors were selling models for more then double that price. I figured it was junk..The lowest of low end PDAs. It didnt take much to change my mind once I...
This is probably a great little PDA for someone who is a first time user, but it does have a few shortcomings. Lack of memory and screen size being the main show-stoppers for me. It also does not come with a HotSync Cradle. Compared this unit with the...
Pros: Light weight, hotsync cable is easy to use Cons: LCD screen is not very clear, not recommended for games, not enough memory
I use to walk around with an agenda, a phone book, pens and what not. My bag was so heavy from the junk I was carrying that I thought of buying a PDA to replace everything. Though I've seen PDAs before, I never thought of buying one myself. I had very...
Pros: easy to use, simple, last a long time Cons: expensive, no email
The palm m100 was easy to use. When I first opened, I read the instructions, it was very simlpe, for someone thats not yet used to all the technoligy stuff. It took about a day to use to it and starting to use it. The palm is very usefull, when I go to...
Pros: inexpensive, addresses basic tasks Cons: little memory or expansion room, doesn't do what more expensive PDA's do
After months of trying to coordinate the Outlook program on my computer with a large date and address book, it was time to enter the PDA market. The Palm m100 is a basic, entry level PDA, that is inexpensive. It is lightweight and convenient. The program...
Pros: Very affordable, nice design Cons: Not quite as attractive as the PalmV
Who wants to pay $329 for a Palm V? That is exactly why you should save your money for this baby. At only $149, this is one of the cheaper Palm's available in the market. Sleek, light-weight, and packed with all the features you would expect in a...
Pros: Inexpensive, compact, software, portability and accessories Cons: none
What a great product. We all know that the Palm M100 does not have E-Mail and Internet (Palm doesn't imply that it does either, so we all know what we're getting into when we buy this). It does not come with a cradle (why would you need one when all...
Pros: good value, versatile, great software available Cons: must backup for battery changes
I am very happy with my Palm m100. I use it for storing information, taking quick notes at meetings and keeping an up to date task list. The Palm m100 has many nice accessories available, including a collapsible keyboard and snap-on faceplates to add...
I am a 16-year-old who bought this to write my homework on, and to have fun. It is good for games and the like, but it is definitely not the best of the Palms. The Handspring Visors are supposedly about 150% or 200% faster to begin with. Also, the...
Pros: Small, visible clock through case Cons: power button malfunctioned quickly, screen was hard on the eyes
I purchased the M100 for the usual reason; it's smaller than my large
Dayrunner. For the first three days, I loved everything about the M100, with the exception of experiencing some eye fatigue. I used it to keep
track of contacts and...
Pros: Affordable, simple, good features Cons: Needs more RAM
The m100 has the same familiar application button layout as previous models. There are 4 application buttons, and the up/down scroll buttons. Fortunately, the up/down scroll buttons are separate and large. If you like to play games, having separate...
Pros: Cheap organizer and you can choose from a number of different colors Cons: Not enough memory for all the fun things you can download on the net
This is the most stylish Pda out there with eight different color faceplates and that number is to grow. The only flaw in the machine is that it only has 2 Mb of RAM. With all the fun games and other stuff you can download 2 Mb just isn't enough. I would...
Pros: Compact, Lightweight, Ease of Use Cons: Cover Falls Off, Not Upgradeable
This was given to me as a birthday present from my parents. The Palm M100 was my first jump into the world of PDA's so over the past couple month I have transferred into a PDA Teckie. I have used other PDA devices such as the Palm IIIc but I must say...
Pros: Small, easy to use, long battery life Cons: none yet
The m100 is my first PDA. I have used Outlook at work, and a Franklin planner also. I never kept Outlook updated because it did me no good outside of work, and the Franklin was too bulky to carry around everywhere.
Pros: Small size and small price Cons: Only 2mb of memory
The new palm m100 is the best palm out in my opinion. It is small and little wieght. This is good because you can put it in you pocket and forget that it is there. It has a reasonable priced compared to the rest of the palms. It is an good competor...
Pros: Small, light, customizable faceplates, just as powerful as other palms, no e-mail Cons: no expense programs, 2 mb of memory
When I decided to buy a Palm pilot, I did buy on impulse. I bought the newest Palm that they had out at that time, the m100. To my surprise, it was the best impluse buy that I ever made.
A Palm Pilot is an electronic device that lets you...
Pros: Priced just right, and reliable. Cons: Won't keep up with growing need, and not for people with poor eyesight.
The Palm m100 has a colorful and trendy design. The price, a meager $149 is for the budget minded as well as the quality conscious.
It offers the same quality and reliability as the Palm V and Palm VII. It weighs in at 5 ounces and has 2...
As a student (soon to be in college) and as the head of a major community service organization in my high school, I realized the need for a PDA. I always disliked carrying around schedule notebooks, always fumbling for pens. I wanted a unit that would...
While recently shopping for a PDA I came across the m100 and was truly surprised by its small pricetag. After playing around with it for a few min I was also truly amazed by its small screen. Obviously when you pay less you are going to loose features...
Pros: Relatively inexpensive and compact. Cons: Unacceptable battery life(defective?)
I bought the Palm M100 along with a bunch of unrelated software and hardware as part of an online deal in which I would get a rebate for the M100 making it essentially free to me. I already had a palm(the IBM workpad - a Palm III in sheeps clothing) that...
Pros: Fantastic for the address and calendar features. Software add-ons are fun! Cons: Flip cover breaks off easily
I have gotten a lot of use out of this product in the past couple of months. The Palm m100 connects to my PC and HotSyncs with my Outlook Calendar. Good for a busy mom and volunteer!
It works great with "just one little thing" the plastic flip cover...
Pros: I picked one up for $100.00 Cons: Not expandable like other PDA...
My ePinion
__I like my Palm because I was able to through away all my phone books and paper calendars. I can use it anywhere and any time. It stores hundreds of phone numbers and address, emails and appointments. It can't do what the...
Pros: Good design, free programs for download, and easy to use for all ages. Cons: Not internet accessible, not as much MB as other Palms, no color.
I have had a Palm m100 for about 3 months now, and it has definitely organized my life. I can now write down assignments, to-do items, and future events in an instant with a stylus pen. This small electronic gadget can have programs downloaded from the...
Pros: Small, changable faceplates, palm OS versitility, low price, value Cons: Only 2MB memory and not as fast as other Palms (Vx and such)
If you are a student and need something to keep you organized, entertained and do NOT want to spend a lot of money for an extreamly high-end PDA (Palm V or Visor Platinum) GET THIS ONE!
It has a good 2 MB memory and run at 16mhz which is...
Pros: Affordable, compact, light Cons: screen is a little hard on the eyes.
I bought my m100 about 4 months ago and it is a best thing to happen to me since alarm clocks. I find it very convenient to enter information, either on the PDA or the desktop software provided. I really like the new desktop software. While it is true it...
Pros: none Cons: Small screen, slow sync, not expandable
I have yet to get a Palm-based PDA. At first I was considering the m100, but then I saw it at compusa and was able to compare the size of the screen with a Handspring. The handspring won hands-down. But other than that it is the same thing. All palm...
Pros: Affordable, Useful, Small, Easy to Sync, Works with Outlook Cons: More Memory Would Be Nice
I believe the Palm M100 is what a lot of users have been looking for. I couldn't convince myself to shell out $200-300 for one of the earlier models. When the M100 came out, I lost my excuse not to buy one.
It has all of the standard features you...
Pros: Best price for a full-featured PDA; Makes a great graduation gift. Cons: 2 Mb memory is limiting
My nephew graduated from college and I gave him a Palm M100 for his graduation gift. He had never used a PDA before and will be starting his first "real" job soon. Boy, was this a hit in the gift-giving department. Not only did he think it was a very...
Pros: Price,size,quality Cons: Not many add ons yet
I use my new M100 to enter my outside business information. I update my laptop with this new info by using the sync cable. Later at night, I use my sync cradle on my desktop and update it with the new info,notes etc. The M100 keeps both of its bigger...
Pros: cheap, small, light, ease of use Cons: only 2mb of memory, screen isn't color
The Palm m100 is the first PDA I have ever owned. I was looking for a small, simple organizer to make my life simpler by keeping phone #'s, and my schedule with me at all times. What drew me to this one was the price. At only $115, how could I go wrong?...
Pros: Price, Ease of Use, Ease of Graffiti, Installed Apps..... Cons: only 2mb of memory
I had previously been using a Royal daVinci DV3 and, thought that it wasn't a bad little PDA until it died and, I got my hands on a m100!
This thing is fantastic! It's applications are great. They all seem to work flawlessly and, quickly. The...
Pros: small, easy for beginners, basic, saves space and time. Cons: battery tends to die quicker than you expect.
The Palm m100 is a fantastic hand-held electronic organizer for the those only looking for basic information to save and retrieve. For the beginner it has all the necessary applications so you can remember things and write things down at the push of a...
Pros: interchangeable face plates, cheaper than most other models of palm Cons: not worth the money
I bought a Palm m100 on a deal that my friend had shown me so I did not pay the full $150. The first day that I received it, I played with it like a child plays with a new toy. A couple of my friends already had it so they "beamed (transferred)...
Pros: Sleek design, changeable faceplates, Easy-to-Use Cons: Only 2 MB of Memory, No Internal Modem
This is the replacement for the Palm IIIe. It is pretty much the exact same thing as its precessor, but the screen is a little smaller and the outside covering is different. If you don't like the black faceplate, you can buy different colors which...
Pros: reasonably priced,small and compact Cons: potential to lose memory if you don't change batteries quickly
My experiences with the Palm M100 have been mixed, to say the least.
When I first tried it out,I downloaded a bunch of games onto the pda,and believe me,while 2Megabytes may look small compared to similar models,the m100 packs a punch! It had enough...
Pros: easy to understand, inexpensive, fun Cons: alignment of screen-- you have to tap higher than you would expect
I had a little Franklin Rex, which I loved because it was tiny and could be filled with info by putting it into my computer's PCMCIA slot. The Rex broke and my kids bought me a Palm m100 for Mother's Day. I love it. I didn't think it would be useful...
Pros: Very inexpensive, small, changeable faceplates Cons: Lower quality, small screen
I started out with a Palm IIIx, which I had for several years. Unfortunately, I dropped it too many times (almost every day, to be honest--almost ran it over with my car once) and the screen got dinged and the display didn't work as well as it used to. I...
Pros: Good starter PDA. Cons: For the first timer only! Not enough memory!
The Palm M100 was my 1st PDA and in my opinion was a waste of money. 2MB of storage is hardly enough to do anything with. If you need to store more than a few phone numbers and and events, this is not the palm for you. Don't even think about...
Pros: Inexpensive, Small, Syncs w/Outlook, Ease of use, get organized Cons: 2mb memory, AAA batteries
This is certainly not a substitute for a laptop or pc, but is very, very useful. Get rid of your paper organizer. Has great functions like copy, paste, select all, etc. You can make simple drawings. Or create memo's. Put all of the information into...
Pros: Low Price, Easy to use, great looking design Cons: Only 2MB (but ok if you dont need any more), no manafacturer warranty on screen
Palm's M100 is absolutely amazing for what it can do. All I needed was an organizer to handle adresses/phone numbers/events/notes etc. and the M100 is more than able to handle it all. Heck, I can even play games on it when I'm bored. It only costs now...
Pros: Cheap Cons: flimsy clover , crashes often , losses data
I purchased my palm M100 a year and a ½ ago. It was purchased a week after they first cam out so with I got it, it was the new kid on the block, and everyone was wanting to look at it and check it out. Although this Palm product is great for starters...
Pros: Cheap, easy to use, sync's with computers, Great organizer Cons: Not for everyone
The palm M100 is a one of the best thing i have ever bought I is highly functional and keeps me very organized. When i first considered getting an electronic organizer, i had a few criteria in mind. First, i wanted the organizer to do everything that i...
The newest Palm Pilot, the M100 was recently released by Palm. It is by far the smallest and most portable Pilot yet. It contains 2 megs of memory, which for this system is more than enugh. You can load plenty of programs without taking up too much space...
Pros: Battery last a long time, easy to view screen, crisp, sharp. Cons: only 2mb of RAM
I have recently purchased the Palm m100 for my needs. I keep tract of all my appointments, phone numbers, and important memos. I have the power of my second computer, which I bought back in 1994, in the palm of my hand. The palm features a crisp, sharp...
Pros: Worth every penny, sharp screen resolution, fits snugly in one hand Cons: 2MB space, not upgradeable, flip-top cover
Bought the m100 in August last year when it just came out and I take it wherever I go.
Was hesitant in spending more than $150 for PDAs so the m100 has been ideal.
Use it primarily for storing data and reading news articles, etc. on the...
Pros: Cheap, good starter model for techo-phobes. Cons: limited functions, short battery life
I purchased my M100 bundled with Day-Timer software for $129.99 at Walmart. I was "upgrading" from a Casio Boss that I loved but could not get it to "talk" to my desktop.
The screen is hard to read and the contrast is often off, I believe it moves...
Well I bought the Palm M100 becasue I did not have enough money to buy one of the Palm V or Palm III. I really liked my firnds Palm IIIc and so I thought it would be nice if I had one for my self. So I went out and bought it and then I started using it....
Pros: great for keeping track of "stuff" Cons: little memory
The palm m100 is great for keeping track of your life, but not if you own a business, if that is the case, you will need one with more memory(it only has 2mb).It is great for schedules and taking notes,(and Games, BUT DON'T GET CAUGHT!).
It is...
Pros: Always on Ya Great Features Cons: Maybe not enough Memory for Bill Gates
I have been into palmtops for 5 years, i have gone thru alot of money to have it all done easy! Well this is a easy thing and fun Palmtop to have! You can store 2000 names and numbers, if you have that many friends, then, well they can buy you another...
Pros: Cheap, easy to use, get software of the internet easily, good bye filofax. Cons: Monochrome, carry spare batteries !!!
Purchased it because of the price tag and had read a few reports in computer magazines.
It was goodbye filofax and tracking files and hello baby!!!! Yes memory can be tight but hey I new that !!!! It is monochrome, but what do you expect for...
Pros: The m100 is easy to use and inexpensive. Cons: A small screen and little memory draw from it.
Smooth edges and a handsome appearance catches ones eye when they see the Palm m100. The slick look of the PDA and the incredible features make it worth the while, for only $150.00. Yes, the m100 does have some drawbacks such as the limited memory and a...
this handheld is well worth the money - it's got the basics plus a perk or two more - the games being my favorite "perk"!(i am usually UNorganized, and if i go to the games before i do the ORGANIZING, well, you can guess the rest...prioritize,prioritize,prioritize)
the alarm clock feature is another perk- very useful, not just as a "wake-up", but as a timer and reminder.
(what, me-organizing?
no silly! i was playing Alchemy!)
An excellent first choice PDA... by dough-boy_dt3001 ,Jul 06 '02
An excellent first choice PDA for getting your feet wet, sync's well with computer, much better than old school electronic phone directories. Switchable face plates let it keep pace with current cell phones if your'e trendy. At $46 on Ebay, you cant go wrong!
I like this PDA, put I'm looking to update, but I've come into problem when reading the Brief Reviews for other customer. I want a color PDA, but it look like I'll just keep the one that I have, because the color PDA have battery problems, upgrading problem, just to many problem to be bothered with.
I use it to keep track of the criminals I come in contact with. At 2 megs its got plenty of memory and the note feature is great for things like descriptions and associates. The infra red transfer is convenient for data sharing.Much better than the older telephone type organizer I previously used.
the touch system was unreliable... by raymond_dt3002 ,Nov 05 '02
the touch system was unreliable at best. the only some what reliable function was the calculator function. All others had a mind of their own . Tring to make enteries in adress book put patence over the limit after three weeks of tring I had a partial name and phone number in , No adress , and half of a secound entery When I decided Palm's product didn't deserve to live .
It is a great model to own. If you are just starting to get into palms, then you need to get one of these. I know that becuase I am a beginner myself. It was just as I hoped, and more. I'm hooked on the games that you can play on it: Packman, Pong, Mario, etc. I can hold on to special phone calls, and secure things so that only I can see them. I'm in love with it and the price is amazing. A
Bought the M100 for my mother for Xmass. She wanted a bare bones palmtop organizer and this modle just did that for below $100. She recently uprgraded the memory for a few satisfactions but feels she got a great value.
