This hand held thermal unit is great and if you want to look like a Star Trek crew member, I suggest you buy it. You can store all your giganton information unit, all you need is a DSV modem which is an infra-red pattern. This also comes with a calculator, daily time sheet, 200 language selections, time, weather in 64 countries, web access, clip-board, cell phone gigatizer, daily planning book, and other receptive data bases that have little or no use.
Palm M500 June 8, 2008
I am enjoying my "new" Palm. It holds a charge for a long time and it fit my exhisting Palm cradle. I would purchase from this vendor EncoreCellular again. I spent a lot of time looking for a replacement Palm when mine died and now realize I should have just started with Amazon!

 Good while it lasted, but it is time to let go April 27, 2008
Carried me for almost ten years, with just a few crashes and technical problems and at reasonable expense. I bought a third at the end of the life of my second one and quickly realized that the technological world had passed the Palm Pilot by. It had always been a hassle to synchronize the device in its cradle, although it made me feel wonderfully productive when the process of "synching" noted all the additions, deletions and edits to my time and tasks.
If all you want is an electronic calendar, with a good task tracker, this will suffice. But support and replacements will be progressively harder to come by and expect dismissive glances from Crackberry users.

After using the Palm500 for over five years, it finally quit. Fortunately was able to find new one on Amazon, it's like having an old friend back. Still the best and easiest to use and read of all Palms ever made.

After throwing away my Tungsten E (total junk). A friend gave me his old Palm m500 which he never used.
As far as features go it's a total downgrade from the Tungsten E, but as far as reliability goes....this one shines!
I've had no problems whatsoever with this thing, I use it mostly as a notepad so I've never had a need for all the bells and whistles that the current generation of PDA's offer.
The m500 can go a week on one charge, compared to the Tungsten E which was begging for a recharge after one day! BLEH!
This also features a different kind of screen, one that doesn't require those stupid 'screen protectors'. HOORAY!
I thought perhaps this was made back when Palm cared about it's customers, but looking at the other reviews here makes me think I just lucked out.
