  • RAM of 8 MB stores thousands of addresses, appointments, to-do items, and more

Since this is my 1st PalmOS PDA I don't have as much experience as some other reviewers. However I do know what I do & do Not like. My list of Pros & Cons for this fine PDA:

Pros specific to this device:

1. Ability to display 65,000 different colors.

2. You can create notes/ business cards w/ color.

3. You can read and work faster. One thing I've found that's quicker than reading, to ID something, is color. If I label an item in a To-Do list in red for instance, I know w/o reading that its a hot item to do ASAP. This helps one prioritize items. It just makes sense.

4. CPU speed. This units fast. Although the color display DOES make the unit slightly slower than a Visor Pro/Platinum.

5. Color games beat B/W games when in waiting rooms. ;-)

6. Display easier to read indoors than a Palm m505. (Isn't this where 90% of its use will occur anyway?)

Cons specific to this unit:

1. Battery life. Handspring advertises up to 2 wk. between charges. Yea right! Maybe if you only use it for
