I got the m105 for Christmas (which is why I had to guess the price) to replace the palmIII I had been lending from my friend. The first things I noticed were the somewhat decreased screen size and a flip cover. The cover is good since I tend to scratch this kind of equipment otherwise. It can be removed if you don't like it. The cover also has a window where you can see the clock.
The decreased screen size isn't all bad - it must be part of the reason why this new model is lighter than the palmIII. The software on the Palm m105 seems to be nearly identical to the palmIII. However I don't remember seeing the Note Pad before. Note Pad is different from Memo Pad in that it allows one to write notes or draw directly on the screen. I've mostly used it for doodling pictures.
Setting up hotsyncing was easy. Only disappointment was that I wasn't able to read my e-mail on this device. Why? Well, I tried the Eudora Suite for the Palm and they only support hotsyncing to your In-box. But since I'm forced to use IMAP my mail isn't delivered there but to my IMAP inbox so it doesn't get synced.
As an organizer this beats my paper calendar. First of all I tend to carry my Palm Pilot around more often since I've got all kinds of interesting applications on it. And second the Palm knows how to beep when something of importance is about to happen. The phone number directory is useless since my Nokia already has that with the additional capability of actually dialing those numbers.
Additional software I've tried out are Diddlebug, Kanji Hanabi, Eudora, Little Angel, AvantGo, MetrO, Quizzler and Triv. Diddlebug is a simple paint tool useful for illustrating an idea or killing time. Kanji Hanabi is a pretty nice tool for learning the Japanese writing system. Little Angel is a pet-like thing that encourages or insults you when you're feeling lonely. It also does another thing that I probably should not mention here. MetrO helps one find your way in cities like Helsinki or Tokyo. Quizzler and Triv are trivia games that provide nice entertainment.
However AvantGo is the most essential of these and has among other things replaced reading magazines on the bus. AvantGo enables you to get content delivered on your Palm. Such content is for example the opening hours of shops in my home city Tampere, bus schedules, news and magazine articles. All this is perfectly readable even with the small screen size. Actually it's even nicer since there aren't that many advertisements and the sites are much more focused than ordinary web sites which tend to be quite confusing at times.
