Problem

Not sure if it is the product or the individual unit, but this dumped data for no reason and I was unable to retrieve it. That was a pain reentering a load of names, addresses and appointments.

great first palmpilot!

the palmone m130 is a great palmpilot but if youve EVER owned a pda its basicly the same old same old with color and a sd/mmc slot...
now lets get down to the main parts of why you maybe looking at a m130

screen:so-so it is small but it can handle most of the palm software out there

palm os 4:very stable! the only time it crashes is if you dont have the right driver for something...

battery: battery dos not drain as fast as people every one says but i found out a way to keep the battery life going just hold down the power button for a few secends untill the screen dems down

8 megs of memory:very big! i put about 60 programs in and it still has 3 mbs left if i didnt remember it was a handheld i would think it had 30 mb in it!

size:its about as tall as a coke can then a coke bottle and about as wide as a credit card but a few CMs off

toughness: it jumped out of my pocket while i was on my scooter it fell about... 4 feet and i was going 7mph AND THE ONLY THING DAMAGED WAS THE FACEPLATE!

4 stars becouse if you tap it it falls off the charger

Defective power switch, battery won't hold charge

I've had 2 model 130 Palms- neither was of very good quality.
Same problems with both units- erratic functioning power switch and unreliable power from the rechargeable battery.
Wouldn't recommend this one. One star is much too generous.
