Amazon.com Review:
Palm handhelds have succeeded because they're small and lightweight but hold a surprisingly large amount of personal data. The Palm m105 handheld expands on those essential features by offering an organizer that's smaller and lighter (4.4 ounces) than most others while remaining packed with 8 MB of memory, so it can do much more than just store your calendar or addresses. The m105 is also one of the most comfortable Palm devices we've held--its distinctive curved bottom rests comfortably in the palm.
Like other Palm devices, the m105 includes an infrared port for beaming data to other handhelds, and it features a high-contrast screen with optional backlighting for low-light situations. At 2 inches square, the screen is slightly smaller than those on most Palm organizers. We noticed the difference since we've been using Palm handhelds for some time, but the m105 retains the same 160-by-160-pixel resolution, so this probably won't be a distraction for most users.
However, unlike other Palm handhelds, the m100 series includes two special applications. The Clock displays the date and time if you simply push the top scroll button on the front, even when the device is off. (It can also be viewed through a window in the cover.) And with the Note Pad, we could write notes or draw pictures directly on the screen without having to write in Graffiti, Palm's character-recognition language.
With more memory, the m105 can now hold more software--and Palm has provided a range of possibilities on the accompanying CD-ROM. Palm's Mobile Internet Kit, normally sold separately, is a software collection that allows the m105 to communicate via infrared link with a GSM cellular phone (such as the Nokia 8290). The kit includes MultiMail Pro software for managing e-mail, programs for SMS text messaging and WAP (Wireless Access Protocol) browsing, and software for accessing Web Clipping data over the Palm.net network (the same service used for the wireless Palm VIIx). Also included on the CD-ROM is the AvantGo Web browser and a client for connecting to AOL.
The Palm m105 includes a HotSync cradle (the m100 handheld shipped with just a cable) for synchronizing data between the handheld and a desktop or laptop computer. Macintosh owners (like ourselves) or anyone wishing to use a USB port on a Windows system will need to purchase the USB serial adapter, though the Mac version of the Palm Desktop software is included in the box.
We were disappointed to find that the Windows version of Palm Desktop included on the CD-ROM is one generation behind the latest release. However, you can download Palm Desktop 4.0 for free from Palm's Web site, making this only a one-time nuisance. Additionally, the m105 is not flash upgradable, so you won't be able to update to a newer version of the operating system later on (the m105 comes with Palm OS 3.5).
With the addition of more memory and Internet access software, plus its comfortable, lightweight design, the Palm m105 is an entry-level handheld that doesn't feel like the new kid on the block. --Jeff Carlson

I recived my order a little before I expected it and it has worked woderfully.
Rating:  - I Love My Palm M105
I see a lot of negative comments about the M105 here, so I decided to share my experiences with it. When I first got it, I had some problems too, gettting the HotSync to work, and changing the batteries. I eventually figured out the HotSync. The batteries are an interesting problem. They don't explain the procedure for replacing them very well, but after trial and error, much swearing and lots of time spent on internet tech forums, I finally figured it out. When you replace them, take one battery ... Read More
Rating:  - Great if you enjoy an element of chance.
I got the m105 and the very expensive portable keyboard so that I could do lots of text entry when I was away from my computer at home, then upload what I'd written later. I was unemployed at the time and didn't want to spend the money on a laptop. I thought I was being clever and thrifty.
Serial connectivity was already on its way out when I bought the m105, but I wasn't worried because my shiny new (bought just before the layoff) no-serial iMac had an IR port, and the m105 was supposed ... Read More
Rating:  - Palm Garbage
This product is a piece of Palm garbage! You are supposed to be able to change the batteries within 60 seconds and still retain your data and settings. Unfortunately, the little capacitor inside the unit that stores enough power to enable this was defective. If you were lucky, it would work for a few months before it failed. Palm kept telling me that I was not performing this operation correctly or that I was exceeding the 60 sec time...bull! They knew there was a problem and didn't address it until a ... Read More
Rating: - Palm m105
I'm a grad student and I bought a "like-new" Palm m105 for its basic organizing functions, such as a "to do" list, memo pad, and calender. I'm also using it for a backup phone/address list in case my cell batteries die at an inopportune time (I'm unfortunately a slave to my cell remembering all numbers instead of me). I'll probably put some games on it too, for those boring days in class.
I've had it for about a week and it seems to work well for the purpose I bought it for. So far my main ... Read More
