Palm m515 Handheld

Have Hot Sync with same unit to XP, win2000 and Win95 OS with no problems, very fast up and downloads. DataViz supplied suite works great with excel,word and PPoint Overall performance better than expected

m515 has same hot-sync problem as the m505. This is my third, and last Palm. Had the Palm III and the Vx. Both were outstanding units. The 515 has been a disappointment because of the hot-sync issue. My USB hot-sync cradle is now used for nothing other than recharging the unit. Had to by a serial cable to sync. Next PDA will be a Sony Clie.

I owned the 505 before I bought the 515 ,I bought a total of 4 one for my wife and 2 for my teenage kids.There is so many things I have stored and with the expansion cards I see no limits for my use.I have pictures ,spanish/english & regular dictionary,4 bible versions,ect...Its a great value...............

Unreliable hardware coupled with incompetent tech support and poor customer support. Irremedial hotsynch problems. Tech support suggested editing PC registry directory which ultimately deleted all Palm data, address book, calendar, etc. Bought one, ultimately found it to be defective after lengthy tech support conjecture, return policy required that I send it in for refund and buy new one (euphemistically referred to as "Advance Exchange") REturned first one, no credit ever given; inquired over "mixup" still not credit. Paid for second one, similar problems. Can't return it as Customer Service personnel haven't authority to make exchange even though w/i warranty period.

i am 14 and i bought this with my allowance it has benifited me in school, freinds, and at home it works very very very well i am very pleased with it i have reccomended it to all my friends and most of them have bought it i love my pda

Much easier to learn to use than I expected. Hot-sync has failed 3 times however. My concern is the necessity for electrical recharging daily as I travel in developing where that isn't convenient at a time when I desire dependable use of my maps and info on pda.

Design flaw, static electricity causes the hot sync to die. Am now on 3rd unit same problem no real satisfaction from Palm. It's now a paper weight until I go to trial before a judge.

My palm has decided not to sync. I have tried fixing the problem 3 times (it takes approx. 10 hours of time to fix it) and the problem still comes back. Customer service is useless. The feeling I got is that they received my money and now they want nothing to do with me. If I knew about this problem before hand I never would have purchased this item. Horrible customer relations, when I asked to speak with a supervisor I was told he would not talk to me, and then they hung up the phone. I will never buy a Palm product again. I 'm going back to Handspring.

I own the M515, my 4th Palm. Great color and visibility improvement. The 16MB capacity is great too. The Palm is an essential tool for the 21st Century human. With multiple responsiblities and the multitude of related tasks only the Palm makes it possible for me. The mind - remember, forget, remember, forget ... The Palm allows you to focus on today, this week, knowing all is in order. Mental FREEDOM!!

A very nice pda for personal use or as a gift. Great features and color! Good price considering memory and features that come standard with the 515.

As a college student, i purchased planners every year but not 4 over the past year since I have had my palm. The ability 2 download software off line has helped me keep track of all my assignements. Categorizing the 300 phone #s makes it so easy 2 locate them; date book has been a life saver for being able to schedule weeks and months ahead of time as well as being able to repeat events. I don't recall having much problems with the palm until recently where i haven't been able to synchronize. If you are a busy individual and have many contacts this is perfect. Would recommend it to anyone.

The M515 is amazing. There is a lot of memeory to do th ings and the games you can play are cool. They make a special keyboard for it so it is easier for you to take notes. I recommend it.
