Digitizer works poorly - often becomes erratic...

Strengths: The Palm m105 software is pretty good and flexible.

Weakness: My main complaint is that the digitizer often becomes erratic and does not select what I want. For example, if a list has 10 items and I selct item #3, it selects item #2 or item #4.

This erratic input from Stylus frustrates me a lot and I have to train the PDA for accurate Stylus entry almost everytime I turn it on. I hate this and I am not sure if it is only my PDA hardware unit or other users also see this issue. One more issue is when I hide passwords and other info and transfer the data to a PC using HotSync, the Palm Software on PC does not allow anybody else to view...

Palm m105 PDA

Strengths: Price

Weakness: None

I really enjoy my palm, and I don't know about the other revews but mine doesn't eat up the batteries, and it is perfect for getting yourself organized, with a low price. Also with a keyboard you can type long documents on it then put it on the computer, the zire(about the same price) does not offer a keyboard. I would recommend any plam to anyone, but for the person on a budget a palm m105 is...

Palm m105 PDA

Strengths: Price, Ease of use, compatibility, many programs available

Weakness: No expansion, only 8MB of storage

I was using a Royal DaVinci DV1. I had technical problems, and I exchaged it for the Palm m105. I am impressd. I didn't want a palm, I wanted a PocketPC. Pocket PCs start at $500. I'm not made of money. I love my Palm. I am reading books, playing games, keeping track of appointments, and much more. The m100 and m105 are kind of getting fazed out. They are fine to buy if you want to give one or...

Palm m105 PDA

Strengths: Very quick computing time; very detailed orginizational system

Weakness: Easily scratched; protective flap is easily broken; graffiti is often difficult to write in (takes multiple times to get the correct letter)

I needed something simple to keep me organized, and it does a wonderful job at that. However, I doubt that this PDA will last longer then 2 years of daily/regular use.

Palm m105 PDA

Strengths: Very powerful organisation tool at a reasonable price

Weakness: Compatibility issues, no expansion, dust under the screen

I guess this is a great model for students..i haf been using the m105 for the past year and it had proven to be really good in terms of organising data. The 8MB is generally enough for plenty of programs.

Palm m105 PDA

Strengths: Price/performance point

Weakness: expandibility

I got my palm a couple weeks ago, and already it has proven invaluable. I always forget things, but now, i just put things in the todo list, and carry my palm around. Whenever I have that nagging feeling I'm forgetting something, I flip it open and there is that thing I'm supposed to do. One thing i'd like to see is a link cable, so i can hook it up to my cell phone, and download driving...

Palm m105 PDA

Strengths: Easy Use, Accessable

Weakness: Short battery replacement interval

I have had Jornada 680 for 1.5 years and just purchased a Palm Vx because I needed the versatility and mobility. It's very easy to use and very mobile so I purchased a m105 for my daughter on her birthday this month. We needed the additional memory for a Bible application. She loves it and uses it for both the Bible and scheduling school events and project / homework deadlines. We are going to...

Palm m105 PDA

Strengths: price

Weakness: beware

This thing started eating batteries and when I contacted Palm they wanted to charge me. I think the model may have a defect. Don't buy a Palm
