Review on 🀝 PalmOne m105 Handheld: Enhancing Your Digital Productivity by James Roper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good device, but where is the modem?!

I received my M105 yesterday and it is my first PDA. I was a bit hesitant to get it because I wasn't sure if I would actually use it or not. Now that I've used it all day, I have to say this thing rocks! battery life forever. It's very convenient and intuitive. And best of all, you can easily add software that you can download for free from the Internet. Apps and games take about 5 seconds to load at 56K resolution! I love it. You can add a keyboard for around $20 if you shop around. My only gripe is that Palm offers email and internet connectivity on the m105, but they do NOT make a modem for it. I even called Palm and the tech support rep was confused. The literature specifically mentions a modem, but they don't make it for that. You'll have to find a third-party modem, and they're expensive and hard to find. If you need a modem, look elsewhere, e.g. E.g. the more expensive Palm, Handspring etc. But at this price the M105 is no problem. Just buy and enjoy.
