Amazon.com Product Description
The lightweight, stylish Palm m500 handheld is expandable, customizable, and Internet capable. The Palm m500 has an expansion card slot for additional memory storage (up to 64 MB) and add-ons such as a dictionary/thesaurus, games, and more. The Palm m500 comes with all the classic personal information management tools you expect: Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Mail, and Clock. It has 8 MB of built-in memory, enough to store thousands of addresses, years of appointments, hundreds of to-do items, and more than 50 applications.

The expansion card slot is a dual-purpose slot that can hold two types of cards: Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard (MMC). Both types of cards are small, inexpensive, and easy to plug in. Much like computer diskettes, they hold information for upload or download onto a handheld. With them, you can instantly add software programs, e-books, large databases, graphics, or even video files to your handheld without sacrificing memory space.

Sleek and lightweight, the Palm m500 handheld has a shiny aluminum casing and is curved to fit in your hand. The display's enhanced technology makes it easier to see at all angles, in dim light, and in bright sunlight.

The new native USB HotSync cradle allows you to quickly back up and exchange information between your handheld and your PC or Mac. The Palm m500 handheld also features new vibrating and blinking LED alarms (in addition to the standard audible alarm) to help you stay on top of your busy schedule.

5 out of 5 stars PalmOne m500 Handheld   November 7, 2009
Joyce Tichler (New York, NY United States)
My old palm pilot failed but i still had the application running on my computer. It was an easy
upgrade to the new one. the supplier provided a disc with software and instructions. my info
from the old application transferred almost automatically to the new application on my computer
and then "synched" with the new PalmOne.



5 out of 5 stars Did the trick!   October 23, 2009
C. Roberts (Euless, TX)
I have a hectic, ever changing work schedule. I had a newer Palm that suddenly died on me. I needed to find a replacement quickly but wasn't wanting to put a lot of $ into one. I found a refurbished one that looks brand new and works great. I downloaded anything I needed, found games, etc. I actually get more use out of this one that I did my last one which was a newer model. I am very happy with this purchase!


5 out of 5 stars JUST BOUGHT IT I LOVE IT I RECOMMEND SELLER   October 16, 2009
L S (North Pole, AK United States)
I purchased this Palm m500 to replace an older one that got damaged in a move. I primarily want it to keep organized and make grocery lists. The price was excellent.
It arrived fast and in great condition. It was purchased as new and it came new with it's own leather case. The Software that came with it easy to use, as well as the cables to Hot Synk and charge. The Cradel feature is not really a necessity, unless some really preffer it then it would be an extra accessory. It has lots of features that I would never use, but other customers might, including advance calculations.
The Display is excellent. There is no need for color display. Even though I do play some games such as solitair, black and white quite sufficient and clear. Memory is more than adequate. After installing all I wanted and needed, including about 4 games I still have 3/4 free space. I do not connect to the internet with it, but it does have that capability.
I appreciate the price I paid for it, it was well worth it. Seller always answered email in timely manner and answered all questions to my satisfaction. Shipping was great and arrived fast.

I love my Palm m500

5 out of 5 stars Good Replacement for the old Palm CLIE   July 9, 2009
Mark W. Siefken (St Paul, MN)
I wanted a replacement for my handheld which after years of use crashed. This product is no longer made. I found the m500 to be comparable to my old unit in its functions and use. It's not high tech but is a good "carry along" organizer for phone #s addresses, memos etc.
