    4 Stars A Palm In The Hand is Worth Two In The Bush 06/03/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Its a Great Electronic Organiser - for Organising everything in your life.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's battery life is very dependant on its usage. It taking it on buisiness for more than a couple of days - take the charger pack.

    Before you all go and panic and close this web page then wander off to read about deodorant and Ford Escorts, WAIT! Don’t be technophobes, hold steady, breath deeply, don’t panic it will be an easily read opinion full of light fact and interesting anecdote. Maybe! Before I even start, a quick question (designed to grab your attention to read further) do you own an address book, a diary or even a small notepad? Ok you do, doesn’t everybody I hear you jibe. But I respond: What state are they in? Are they dog-eared ancient documents worthy of pride and place in the British Museum? Can you read ... more

    5 Stars Small, Sleek & Smart 13/04/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, Small, Sleek and Smart

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I purchased the Palm M515 from an ebay member through one of their auctions. Firstly I found the Ebay service exceptional, easy and understanding. As for the product I would rate this 10 out of 10. The positive points about the product were its sleek, smart and small appearance which complimented my own look. It has a professional feel to it and can be used in any social or work environment. The product itself comes with an interactive menu that you can change according to your needs. You can create different menus and programme the Palm device to show your favourites, just like Windows on a ... more

    1 Star Don't throw away the filo just yet. 23/09/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Lightweight - looks the business.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very short life span

    I am not a gadget person but keen to use those pieces of technology that aid the efficient running of my business. My brother and business partner loves them and bought his first PDA last year. It was a cheap verson and in a sale; £24.99 I think. Also rather basic when compared to mine with regard to what it can do. That is if mine was working. So that was my Christmas present because, as he pointed out, a PDA is a boon and you can forget the filo, notebook, diary whatever, because everything you need is in the pam of your hand. It was easy to set up and enter information although time ... more

    4 Stars A great all-rounder with a dodgy battery 22/03/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages compact, easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages battery runs down unpredictably

    I knew nothing about PDAs when I bought my Palm M515, so was a bit nervous about getting it set up, but the installation disks are easy to understand and I got it working! I love the fact I can check out Word documents and Excel files and the note function is really useful. There is so much stuff on the web to help with this product that even a novice (me!) can work out what to do & get hold of great free stuff, too. My one disappointment is the battery. Sometimes it'll last for a full week. Other times - usually when I'm miles from home on business with no charger - it dies in a day. Yet my ... more

    5 Stars you need this palm!!! 11/08/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good pda everything you will ever need

    Disadvantages Disadvantages doesnt do the washing up :(

    i have been using palm handhelds for a long time (almost three years). the first handheld i had was the palm v, and know i have bought the palm m515. ever since i bought palm v i realized that in spite of the price, it was a good investment. a lot of people told me that i was crazy buying it, because it wasn't very usefull, but now i wouldn't be able to live without it. with this "mini computer" you can practically do everything. it comes with an wide range of applications to begin to use it (agenda, notes, tasks, etc.). for the work it is something really useful. it helps you to plan your ... more

    5 Stars Palm M515 PDA 01/06/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Well constructed, light weight, comes with cradle, can interface with a PC

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Could do with a little more memory.

    I have been using this model for the last 3 months and, overall, have found it very easy to use. As a user of ACT! 2000, I find my Palm invaluable as I can upload/download information between it and my desktop PC. The Palm comes with a cradle that is used to re-charge the batteries as well as provide a link to my PC. It is compact - pocket sized - yet very functional. All your contacts, to-do's, notes, expenses, appointments etc. in one place!! (With a backup on your PC if anything goes wrong!) In summary, if you are a busy person who is always on the move and needs constant access to basic ... more

    4 Stars M515 Shall live Forever.... 08/11/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It has pretty nice display, i can't say much but - "It's a Nostalgy".

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I doesn't have great sound, and it's battary was never enough for me.

    First time when i got one of those, was 2 years ago. As soon as i've bough this PDA i got every scaduale of mine arranged, almost immediatly i got tons of games on it that are spread all over the internet, and it helped me to store big ammounts of texts / pictures / memoes / etc. Now I can't see myself without it, first because of the data on it, and second, because I'm never bored - I can always play games on it, read books / e-Books, organize your day, and enjoy that maximume comfortability, because it's a very simple to use PDA. For the ones that like to surf the internet, can also have fun ... more

    5 Stars A winner 03/07/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Superb palm computer

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no sound

    I am the most disorganised perosn in the world and this little baby gives me everythign I need to hand. The colour screen is excellent. With the right software you can view AVI files with stunning clarity (but no sound). The expansion cards are great because they allow one to carry round loads of info and be a mine of information. It has all of the regular palm features that I love so much. Beeping at me when I need to be somewhere and storing the names and addresses of everyone I know. I also have some swanky mapping software and a funky Chinese translator which can translate characters drawn ... more

    5 Stars My right handheld 19/06/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages User friendly

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Needs additional software to synchronise

    What would I do without it? All my work and personal contacts, all my appointments, expenses, notes - even photos of my loved ones. With a Bluetooth card I can email and access the web via my mobile phone. Only problem - I had to buy Intellisync to synchronise with Lotus Notes, which is our calendar and email system at work. I would recommend this PDA to anyone except a technofreak who needs all the bells and whistles whether or not he can think of anything to use them for. This does the job and a few other things as well. It looks good, it does exactly what it says on the box - what more do ... more
