Reliable and useful

by arcadius , Dec 04 '04
Pros: Portability, does the job it's supposed to do
Cons: Color screen probably not the best
I have had my Palm m505 for about 3 years (since Christmas 2001) and I still use it and enjoy it. Back then the price was around $400, and I imagine that it's much lower now that newer models are out. The greatest thing about the m505 is its small ...

This is a great PDA for the right person

by michaeld619 , Aug 06 '04
Pros: Compact size, stylish looks, lots of software, removable storage (mmc cards).
Cons: Screen could be brighter
I have been using the M505 for about 4 months now and I must say I have really grown to like it. I upgraded from a IIIX and don't regret it for a second. The size is great, the battery lasts and lasts, and there is so much software available it is...

Not perfect, but better (specially for the buck) than what else is available

by manzoor , Dec 10 '03
Pros: The Form Factor (size, weight, screen etc)
Cons: No Built-in Wireless Network (not even BlueTooth) Unable to get the e-mail to work.
The m505 is my second Palm PDA, so obviously I like Palm products. I got this (my wife bought it for my birthday) just after it had come out. In short - I really like this PDA. In more detail, I really like all that this model is capable of doing ...

Palm m505 ... in the college student's prespective

by benjamin07 , May 07 '03
Pros: Color screen, both Macintosh and PC compatible, extra memory avaliable
Cons: Lights on PDA is not that bright, cradle is not that great.
I recently just got a Palm m505 from my boss, who just recently just bought a Sony Clie PEG-NZ90, and after using the m505 for about a month, I have found it to be somewhat useful, but not something I use everyday. With the regular Palm features such as...

Great Toy for Adults

by chandasz , Nov 19 '02
Pros: Expandability. Color. Price
Cons: Bit hard to read in bright light
Let's face it. Most of us use our PDAs as GameBoy for adults. I keep my appointments and contacts but also love to play games and read content from avantgo. I upgraded from an m100 to this about a year ago and I'm still very happy with it. I carry it...

Still the champ

by andrewmk99 , Oct 03 '02
Pros: Size, scalability, battery life, price, Sleek look Way cheaper than 515 or Pocket PC
Cons: Screen could have adjustable brightness Basic colors are a bit washed out
What makes me interesting is that I originally had a pocket PC (Jornada 525) and decided to give Palm a try. I had to have color but was turned off by the price of the 515 and didn't like the IIIc or M130. Ounce for ounce the M505 is the best value in...

Overall good for the average user - lacks power features.

by thechuunt , Aug 07 '02
Pros: Excellent Design, long lasting battery, and color!
Cons: Pixels and can be a bit slow with big programs.
I received the Palm m505 as a gift from a friend. The great thing about this PDA is the compact size and it’s long lasting battery. I use this item for the following: Dates, addresses, avantGo, and mapQuest.

This item is great for managing...

Happy to own a Palm, but found problems with Static discharge

by bigchiefkh , Jul 24 '02
Pros: Easy to use, Light, Color Screen
Cons: Screen hard to read without backlight on. Problems with Static discharge disabling the unit
I bought my Palm M505 about a month ago. our local store was blowing them out for the newer models so it was cheaper than a M130 so I picked one up. So far so good. I have been able to get the grafitti writing down so I can enter things into it and...

beautiful piece or portable hardware

by thehuntman2k , Jun 23 '02
Pros: Great look, easy to carry around, lovely color
Cons: Doesn't come with computer compatible programs like word or excel.
The Palm m505 is an awesome add-on to the Palm family. I own one and I love it. The colors are rich and the layout makes it easy to find everything you need. Files can be transferred from this to your computer and vice versa which makes planning...

Great to have

by skiwhe , May 01 '02
Pros: Slim, color, and handy
Cons: Expensive, dim screen
I tried the Handspring Visor, and the Compaq Ipaq, before settling on the Palm m505. Comparatively I am happy with the choice I made. The Palm is the best way to go with PDA's on the market today, although I don't think color is as important as I...

Good, but not great M505

by Ninababy , Mar 25 '02
Pros: Easy upgrades, nice design, a great little palm
Cons: Faded display, hard to see sometimes
I bought a M505 on an upgrade from my well loved IIIxe. I thought that it was the best!! Color screen for the first time is an eye opener. You can see in all different light.. and it really was exciting to me to see the difference. However, it was...

Great upgrade for any PDA user!

by emaj , Mar 18 '02
Pros: Size, color, faster processor, slim design
Cons: Cradle takes getting used to, without backlight need to use in well lit room
I recently purchased the m505 after using the IIIxe for over a year. I was looking for a slimmer design Palm in color and this fit the bill! So far I am very pleased with this model. It's lighter than the older versions and the sleek design is great....

Bargain Hunters Do Well to Consider M505, Otherwise, Get an M515

by bobdobbs1 , Mar 13 '02
Pros: With the release of the M515, good deals are to be had on M505s.
Cons: The M515 fixes flaws in the M505 and retails for the same price.
I recently purchased a Palm M505 and it was a tough choice when comparing it to other PDAs from other vendors. Eventually I decided to be conservative and go with Palm who has been around longer in the PDA market than most other vendors. Color was a...

How did I live without it?

by honnybrown , Feb 28 '02
Pros: Convenient and Addictive
Cons: Dim Screen color, but very usable
I just got my m505 a week ago. I bought it directly from Palm because I wanted the red m505. This was a mistake. They screwed up my order several times and charged me each time. I was determined to return it as soon as it was delivered.

The screen's not that bad!

by suilobo , Feb 16 '02
Pros: Small, easy to use
Cons: Build quality issues, doesn't fit in cradle well
Despite the negative buzz don't avoid this Palm because of the screen! While it's not great for viewing pictures or video (who really NEEDS to do that?) the colour screen makes it much easier to work with spreadsheets and other apps! It's even good...
