Palm, a Disappointment

I have been a user of PDA's for quite awhile. I have only owned Palm Pilots. The first one I owned worked fantastic, it was my life. I used it for appointments, directions, and a rolodex. It was my life blood. Somewhere, someplace, I lost that Palm Pilot. I figured I would upgrade and I purchased the new version M series. I got the M125. After awhile I could not set my time or date, I just could not press the lower left hand done button. I ran out of battery power and by the time I got back to my computer, or a drug store, for new batteries, the memory was wiped out. No problem if only I could set the date to coordinate my calendar with the true date. I looked on the web and found that it was a prevalent problem with the M Series. To replace the touch screen would have been $40.00. I purchased a fairly new M125 on eBay and sure enough, it had some issues. But I was able to set the date. I guess when I have the money to invest in a color screen like the Compaq unit, which I see is a flawless product, I will purchase it.

I don't think I would ever purchase a Palm product again.

Must be like the old Volvos

Remember when you were a kid and automobiles were less "consistent" than they are now? I can recall friends of my parents who had Volvos and either loved theirs or hated it. You either got one that worked well, or you got a lemon. My m125 is a lemon. My wife bought it for my birthday a while back and I made the mistake of putting off using it. By the time I tried to get it to speak to my computer (Outlook never happened), stop freezing up, move from one function to another, and just BEHAVE, there was no warranty left. It is a dog, with fleas. Customer Service sent a lengthy form tutorial via e-mail, that basically told me to "reboot". Fool that I am, I tried that a few times. My wife gets to stare at the world's cutest white elephant every time she sits down at her CPU. Her disappointment is palpable. The lesson, then, was two-fold. Take it out for a spin during the warranty period, or don't buy it at all. My own lesson will be to get a Dell.

If basic is enough

This model was kind of out-dated already when I bought it back in 2002, but I was just looking for a basic Palm handheld since I knew that I wouldn't use all the extra features you had on the newer models. It's served me well over the years, and now when I have updated to a newer model I reckon that the PalmOne m125 had all I needed, so there was not really necessary for me to upgrade. My only complaint on model is the battery time.
