Palm m515 Handheld

Pros: Durability, reliability, usability, excellent software compatibility, fast and easy synchronization with Macs and PCs
Cons: Maybe the higher-than-average purchase price I paid? But you get what you pay for!

I can tell you from extensive experience using my m515 that it has definitely turned out to be one of the better purchases I've ever made. I bought it approximately two years ago, as I had some friends and co-workers who were always touting their PDAs ...

Pros: bright color screen; rugged, small case; simple syncs
Cons: battery life; pricey software

The Palm m515 is the third Palm I've owned in the last five years. As expected, this one's the most impressive of the three (the others were a Palm III and a Palm Vx) with a bright and easy-to-read color screen, a rugged and small case, and a much...

Pros: Great software options, easy sync, easy to learn.
Cons: Graffiti not always easy to use. Data entry harder than paper.

I love my PDA. I was a serious paper user, and resisted changing over for a long time, but I have no regrets.

Pros: Slim, lightweight, color, expandable, good memory, good battery life.
Cons: Not hi-res screen, screen hard to see clearly outdoors.

I have used a number of different handheld devices, and I must say, that the Palm m515 is my favorite of all of them. I recently returned my Tungsten T for the m515 because I really did not need the Bluetooth, and the hi-res screen is not really worth...

Pros: Ease of use, screen lighting, Plentiful third party hardware & accessories.
Cons: No voice recorder

I'm new to the PDA market, but did weeks of research before deciding on the Palm 515.
Being so use to the tactile "Dayrunner," I wondered if I would find a PDA useful.
Answer; I use my Palm like I use my telephone.

I installed the...

Pros: 0.5 inches thick, lower price, rugged metal design
Cons: Screen resolution

If you asked me a year ago whether I thought a PDA was a necessity that justified an asking price ($400 ) I would have given you an emphatic “No!” Only seasoned professionals and gadget nuts carry these things, right? Well, after losing...

Pros: Small yet fast powerful computer with everything needed to work
Cons: Can't play counterstrike but then again, that's not a working application

I've never liked handhelds devices. First, you need magnifing glasses, then they only work like agendas and at last but not least it's very difficult to write on those small things. Those were my thoughts, something left in the past.

The Palm...

Pros: lightweight, colour, lots of memory, expnasion capable, durable, flexible, fast (33 mhz), small, THIN
Cons: expensive, voice recorder, not pocket pc

The Palm 515 was origanally designed to replace the 505 (also and outstanding machine) with a little bit more power. Most important of which the 515 enjoys 16 megs of storage instead of 8. Although this may not sound like much compared to the pocket pc,...

Pros: Great Palm OS software, the fixed version of the Palm M505.
Cons: Small Screen still, not a Pocket PC and no voice recorder.

This PDA is a outstandingly useful. The outside aluminum case is great looking, it shows a fashion statement. I wrote down all of my addresses and phone numbers in the phone book, have my day planned out with the schedule book and am able to play...

Pros: Offers the trademark simple format, sleek form factor, color, OS 4.1, SD/MMC, & more.
Cons: No capabilities for sound formats, voice recording, video player.

I am into my fourth Palm product to date. It started with the Palm Pilot Professional 1MB, then to the m100 2mb, next the m505 8mb and now the m515 16mb. Before owning a pda, I've always carried a sensible calender/notebook cum clutter. Invariably, I ...

Pros: Much improved color screen, 16MB of DRAM, thin, light and expansion flexibility.
Cons: Still standard resolution and screen isn't as bright as the Clie color screens

For those that have been turned down by the Palm m505 because of the poor color screen, your complaints have been addressed with the Palm m515. This new handheld is essentially a much improved direct replacement for the m505 by adding more backlights,...

Pros: Compact organizer I can easily carry just about anywhere
Cons: Price, susceptibility to electrostatics, battery life

I asked for $150 to $200 PDA from my secretary and this $400 Palm m515 is what I received. (I think the secretary likes me.) I couldn’t complain. I use it for organization, mainly. Rather than carrying around a thick notebook, I envisioned this ...

Pros: * Color *Easy to navigate *Easy to connect to computer *Easily downloads pictures *Compact size
Cons: *Batteries drain quickly *Inconvenient to write on

I recently received the Palm515 as a gift. I am not too good with computers and I have found the Pa ...

Pros: Functionality, wide range of software available
Cons: quality, "graffiti" alphabet

I have to say that my Palm m515 has been a joy to use. I use it to organize all of my appointme ...

Pros: Brighter Screen, 16MB built-in memory, Small form factor,vibrating alert
Cons: Not much hardware innovation, some limitations inherent in Palm OS

I've owned many Palm OS PDAs (No PocketPCs yet), including Palm IIIx, Handspring Visors, Visor Platinum, Sony Clies, and the Palm m505. When I initially got the m505, like most people, I liked that the Palm Vx had finally grown into color, but was sorely...
