Still a Great Palm Choice!
by internetpilot, Jul 16, 2004
Pros: Small/thin, low power screen, 8mb RAM, SD card, Universal Connector, nice accessories.
Cons: 16mb of RAM would be nicer, but that's about it!

Review: I realize that I am a bit late in the game, but I purchased a M500 for a specific reason that I will ...

Review: Granted, it's a bit outdated, but the price savings make up for the age. Overall, whether this is th ...

This case does not fit the m515 handheld
by shamino, Jun 7, 2003
Pros: It appears to be a fairly strong hard case
Cons: It doesn't fit the m515, despite what Palm's web site says
