Customer Reviews

Rating: - It arrived on time and he helped us to understand the product by sharing his get startingcds, I would buy again from this sell
The seller was great, all we had to do was e-mail him about how to get started using the palm and we have had a palm, he later sent CD's that would help us understand the product. THe price was great and I can't wait to buy again.
Rating: - Great Bargain
I would have rated this 5 stars, had it not had some Chinese decals and applications on it.I know that's something minor that probably only would bother me though.For example, right beside the Palm logo on the upper left corner, there is a decal in Chinese.In addition, applications such as CJKOS and PenP are in Chinese as well.The essentials are in English though.I still think it was a great bargain.If you would like to see pictures of my Palm, just shoot me a message.
Rating: - Palm M500
the palm came in timely, the language was Japanese. It does not seem to want to charge up all the way.
Rating: - Palm m500
I purchased this PDA to replace one that stopped working properly.The new one arrived quickly, works well and was easily loaded with the programs and data from my old one thanks to Palm's desktop programs.I am satisfied with the new unit.Note, that this is a backup PDA.I use it for a few applications but use my Dell Axim X3i for day-to-day work.
Rating: - Hard to find but worth the wait
I bought this to use with a program for truck parts.It works great with it.
