m505 = Excellent PDA
9 of 9 Yahoo! Users found this review helpful Like other users, I too was disappointed with the m505's screen... but only INDOORS. You do need to be under direct overhead light for it to look nice. I find myself apologizing to others when I show them something on the screen. However, outdoors or under flourescent indoor lighting, the screen looks great. I previously owned a Handspring Visor Prism, and I loved the bright screen (except outdoors). When compared to the Clie 710, the screen on the m505 does look inferior. However, I took the m505 on vacation for 2.5 weeks without ever charging it. Without a backlight, the battery power is nicely conserved. For professionals, I think the m505 is an excellent PDA. The small size & light weight, combined with the expandiblity make it very useful. Another plus: the SD cards are available generically and hence are much cheaper than the Sony Memory Sticks (proprietary)... One more complaint though: Palm didn't include a utility to access memory cards efficiently (Handspring and Sony do). Makes it difficult to hold large databases on SD cards with the main programs in main memory. I downloaded MSMount from the web and solved this problem. Palm should have included a utility similar to this. ...
