Amazon.com Review

The release of the Palm m515 handheld proves that Palm listens to customers and is willing to make changes. Thanks to the indifferent customer response to the lackluster color screen of the Palm m505 (released in 2001), the Palm m515 boasts a much brighter display and contrast controls that were missing in its predecessor.

We were among the many who voiced disappointment with the Palm m505, and while the m515's color screen still isn't at the top of the class, it's an obvious and welcome improvement. With display support for over 65,000 colors, icons and images (viewed in the included PhotoSuite application) have a nice richness and depth of color. However, as the screen resolution is only 160 by 160 pixels, the m515 doesn't achieve the crispness found in the Sony T615 (which has a 320 by 320 pixel resolution). But ultimately, unless you need a high-end multimedia viewer integrated into your handheld, you should be suitably happy with the m515's display.

There are only three levels of brightness contrast control--high, low, and off. At first we were taken aback by the "off" setting, as it rendered the screen almost invisible in our office, but it's fine for outdoor usage and will help conserve battery power.

With its curved angles, thin design, and light weight, the Palm m515 feels very comfortable, both in the palm of your hand and resting in your pocket. Also, with the m515's 33 MHz DragonBall VZ processor, we found switching applications to be very fast.

The applications and desktop software (version 4.01 for Windows and version 2.6.3 for Mac) haven't changed, and that's just fine with us. (Note that a beta version of Palm Desktop 4 for Mac OS X is available for download.) The Palm interface is one of the most elegant and simple to understand--yet powerful--operating systems around.

But Palm adds more power with a variety of add-on applications that you can choose to install, ranging from Documents To Go for viewing and editing Word and Excel documents, to Palm's collection of mobile connectivity apps, to the aforementioned PhotoSuite for viewing images and short movies. Our favorite is AvantGo, an app that downloads Web content to the m515 whenever you synchronize, which enables us to keep up with the latest world news as well as Aussie Rules Football scores. You can add even more content and applications via the expansion slot, using optional Secure Digital or MultiMediaCard memory cards.

You can choose to synchronize the Palm m515 with the Palm Desktop application or link to Microsoft Outlook (Windows only). Palm Desktop is more than adequate, but if you are in a corporate environment and Outlook is your scheduling/e-mailing/tasking brain center (which it is for us), the synchronization is seamless.

Overall, we're very happy with the Palm m515--it's quick on its feet, has a nice color display, and is loaded with great software additions that can enhance both your productivity and your fun. --Agen G.N. Schmitz

Amazon.com Product Description

The ultraslim, lightweight Palm m515 handheld has all the classic information management features you expect from Palm, as well as a bright color display with support for over 65,000 colors. It's also loaded with valuable productivity and connectivity software and has a built-in expansion card slot for additional memory storage, applications, and content. It comes with 16 MB built-in memory, enough to store thousands of addresses, years of appointments, hundreds of to-do items, and more than 50 software applications.

The expansion card slot is a dual-purpose slot that can hold Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard (MMC) memory cards. Both types of cards are small, inexpensive, and easy to plug in. Much like computer diskettes, they hold information for upload or download onto a handheld. With them, you can instantly add software programs, e-books, large databases, graphics, or even video files to your handheld without sacrificing memory space. The Palm Universal Connector (at the base of the m515) enables you to add peripherals such as a keyboard, GPS receiver, and more.

In addition to Palm's built-in organization applications in Palm OS 4.1--including Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Note Pad--the Palm m515 also features the following bonus software: Documents To Go by DataViz (for synchronizing Microsoft Word and Excel documents), Pocket Mirror (for linking to Microsoft Outlook), MultiMail SE, MGI PhotoSuite, AvantGo, Palm Reader, and Palm Mobile Connectivity software.

The native USB HotSync cradle allows you to quickly back up and exchange information between your handheld and your PC or Mac. The Palm m515 handheld comes equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery, which is charged using the HotSync cradle. Palm Desktop software is compatible with Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, Me, and XP, and Mac OS 8.6 through 9.x. Note that for connecting to Windows 95 and NT you will need an optional serial cradle or cable.

The Palm m515 comes with a stylus, USB HotSync cradle with 120 VAC/60 Hz charger, internal rechargeable battery, Palm OS 4.1, and an infrared port. It is backed by a one-year warranty.

5 out of 5 stars Worth Owning.......2007-09-07

I have two Palm m515's, and after four+ years of daily use and syncing, both are still going strong. In fact they both outlasted my Treo 600 and Palm T/X.

This is a great low risk investment now that it is five years old. A great entry level PDA.

5 out of 5 stars I love this palm. Kind of slow, though........2007-01-19

I've had about seven different palms and even an iPaq, but so far this has been my favorite. I like the fact that it has a SD slot - I have about 42mb of stuff, and that would never fit on the palm itself. I also really like the vibrating alarm thing. At my school, the teachers will take away any electronic devices that disrupt class, so the vibrate function is essential if I want to remind myself of anything during class. It's also really small compared to most handhelds.

This stuff is all great, but I think the best thing about this palm is how durable it is. My Zire broke when I tripped in the hall, but i've abused the heck out of my m515 and you can't even tell. About a week ago, my friend got mad at me and hit me with a Geometry textbook right where my palm was in my pocket. Those things have like 700 pages and aren't exactly soft and fuzzy. I frantically pulled it out of my pocket, only to discover that it didn't even have a scratch.

Now for the bad stuff. My palm was one of those 'made in china' things, and like other customers have mentioned, the screws on the back started to come out. I figured out an easy fix, though - I borrowed a T5 driver from my dad (who's a technitian guy, so he has all those hard to find tools) and put some super - strength automotive threadlock on the screws. That problem's gone - I just hope i never have to replace the battery or anything.

Also, the m515 is kind of slow. My scripture reading program takes 1-3 minutes to search through my files and find my scripture database. This doesn't seem like a big deal, but when i'm waiting around for 1-3 minutes staring at a blank screen, it seems like years.

I can live with that, though. I love being able to write down my homework on something that doesn't use paper. Plus, I can set alarms in Diddlebug for my homework and then just completely forget about it until after school.

Well, that's probably enough. I highly reccomend this palm to anyone interested in something that will last a long time and organize your life. Good luck!

1 out of 5 stars don't trust it to not crash before your next hotsync.......2006-03-31

I have been using this for years and have found that I can never trust it to keep any new info. Taking it on the road and relying on it to not crash is prohibitivly risky. I stripped out all 3rd party software including avant go and only use the bare basic calendar, phonelist and notes and still find it crashes WAY too frequently, needing a reset that wipes out everything in its memory untill my next hot sync. Much as I like the functionality that it was designed for, I'm sick of this piece of crap and am searching hard for a reliable PDA.

Hey Palm! How about making a PDA that is reliable and comes with good free tech support for two years (i.e. try not to put your customers on hold forever or charge them excessive fees to fix your unreliable equipment). If any of your competitors do it first I have plenty of money to throw down.

nuff said,
grrrrrrrrr

1 out of 5 stars Completely Worthless!.......2005-08-26

After owning my palm m515 for 6 months, it stopped charging. Of course this happened when I was traveling, so I lost all the new information on had entered during my trip. Luckily I was able to reload the old information which I had on my computer. Since it was still under warrenty, I was able to send it back to get a fixed one in exchange. A year or so later, it just stopped syncronizing for no reason. I refuse to pay to speak to a Palm representative, and their website is indecipherable and holds nothing helpful. Palm is only interested in having you buy, but they are definitely not interested in keeping you as a customer. The company is completely worthless!

The Tungston T which I purchased for my boyfriend has progressively degenerated also.

We will never buy Palm again!

4 out of 5 stars Great Handheld for Students.......2005-05-08

I bought myself a Palm M515 after I destroyed the screen on my M100. I have been using the M515 for three years and have had no problems whatsoever. Any student interested in a Palm handheld should give the M515 serious consideration. This device has proven very useful in tracking homework, projects, and tests. Only complaint is no wireless capabilities without the use of Palm's bulky add-on modem (Nearly every school has their own wireless network).

    3 out of 5 stars Internet Killed the PDA Star.......2005-09-30

    The m515 is an elegant item and works as promised. It is easily expandable and the color screen is sharp. But it's lack of support for wireless support these days is a considerable limitation. Wireless can be added only via the bulky Universal Connector.

    I have used Palm since it first came out and stored about 2000 contacts, all my appointments, and many documents on it. In the days before the Internet and Google, it was critical to my daily work. But when my m515 began to malfunction about a year ago, I found that I was able to live without it for the first time in 7 years. Why? Nearly all the information it used to hold is now readily available on the Internet. Tools like Plaxo are far more efficient at keeping my contacts synced and updated on multiple computers. And as for vendors, give me Google and a highspeed connection.

    So while the m515 works well for what it is, it gets 3 stars because of lack of wireless connection.

    2 out of 5 stars Give it 5 stars!.......2004-12-13

    I was so happy to get this, it was a Christmas gift from my husband to replace my quickly dimming old CRT. It arrived and I hooked it up quickly, it looked great... then the screen went black, I checked all the cords and everything was fine but I couldn't get the power light to come back on or the picture to show... so I left the room frustrated to complain to my husband. When we came back in it was back on... so I started reading my emails again and low and behold 5 mins later off it went, every now and then it would blink the power light at me, then it would go off entirely, then sometimes the light would come on (but no image). I'm sending it back to Amazon, I ordered a replacement so we'll see if the next one works.

    :UPDATE: the new one works great, I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

    5 out of 5 stars High-quality 15" LCD monitor at a great price.......2004-11-27

    If you are looking for a budget-oriented LCD monitor, this 15" from Sceptre is an excellent choice. The 15" LCD panel is sharp and bright and has good response times. The on-screen menu is a bit confusing, just like most monitors. The built-in speakers sound very cheap, so I wouldn't recommend relying on them for your music experience. But in the one area where it counts -- display quality -- the Sceptre provides more bang for the buck than any 15" LCD I've seen. A good monitor to get for Internet surfing and Word processing. And you can also watch DVD movies on this, assuming your PC has a DVD-ROM drive.

      5 out of 5 stars Best PDA I've Owned.......2004-03-12

      I've owned way too many PDAs, and have come to several conclusions:

      1 Palm OS excells,
      2. HP iPaqs are a disaster,and
      3. SONY exceeded my expectations.

      Unless you need Wi-Fi, it's not worth it.

      This is by far the most feature filled unit that is on the market. It's size and features will address just about any need you may have.

      Keyboard is comfortable, and bundled software is great to show off the features. You'll be hard pressed to get over the novelty of this wonderful machine. You won't be sorry.

      5 out of 5 stars Best PDA out there (not including UX50).......2004-02-20

      I have had several PDAs, and this is by far the best. I got it mainly for the built-in keyboard and high-res screen, but it is the total package. I sold my Dell Axim which was quite good to get the UX40 and I don't miss it at all.

      Pros:
      - Super compact
      - Loaded with features
      - Bluetooth built-in
      - Great screen
      - Keyboard is very convenient
      - Multimedia
      - Fast
      - Super cool and well made

      Cons:
      - Battery life not great, but OK
      - Kind of pricey
      - Camera good only for low res pics

      - Landscape screen only (not a big deal to me)

      Buy it - you know you want it.

      3 out of 5 stars Love at first glance, but then..........2003-11-12

      I love it the first time I saw it, using the excelent services of Amazon.com I have it in my hands in couple of days.
      I changed from a nice Hp 1945 Pocket PC to Sony UX-40, but I'm not sure if was a wise idea:

      1. The screen is too small to have a comfortable sight
      2. Keyboard is nice in size but I don't like the feeling of the keys.
      3. It's not cheap, and the software provided is very limited, if you want to use the other software provided, you have to pay.
      4. Quality of photos is low

      5. You have to carry the cradle if you want to charge it in your car with the proper adapter.

      Very nice looking device but maybe is oriented to a younger market (but the price is not oriented to it)

      I will give it a couple of weeks, if not convinced, maybe my wife can give me back the Ipaq 1945

        5 out of 5 stars You get what you see........2005-01-02

        This product is a perfect example of getting what you see.

        What does it do exactly? You plug one end into your power outlet, and the other end into your NeoGeo Pocket Color, and you can play without using a battery.

        It works like a charm and has a long cable, but the problem is that the system can run for 40 hours on batteries, which is a lot of playing.

        I like this product because I don't usually go places and I don't want to have to buy batteries every few months or so.

        4 out of 5 stars Well...it's an AC adapter...and it's first-party.......2003-11-10

        Like I said in my title, it's an ACadapter, and it's first-party, meaning you don't have to worry about it screwing up your NGPC. And to the guy who said that this takes away all the portability, ever think people play their NGPC at home or in a place with a free outlet? Why wast batteries when you don't have to? And then when you want to leave, just unplug it! Please, think before you review.

        5 out of 5 stars The right choice.......2003-02-24

        A previous reviewer said the Game Boy's adapter was compatible and would cost less. Game Boys use three times as much power as NGPCs, though, so using the wrong adapter means risking burning out the unit. Always get the manufacturer's model and avoid universal solutions when you're dealing with power sources, or at least check yourself to make sure the power rating printed on the unit matches the source exactly. Besides, this one's nicer than the other AC adapter designs because the transformer block is in the middle of the cord instead of at the contacts, meaning you don't have to make any extra room for it in the wall socket -- it'll plug in like a regular two-pronged power cord.

        5 out of 5 stars The adaptor works fine.......2002-07-17

        I've owned the adaptor since the system was released in the U.S. a couple of years ago, and it works just fine. It's an AC adaptor, not much to get wrong there. If you don't want it, don't buy it...but don't be scared off by that bizarre anti-AC adaptor rant.

        1 out of 5 stars You've got to be kidding me!?!?!.......2002-02-27

        By using an A/C Adapter with ANY type of hand-held system, you are virtually taking the word "portable" out of "portable video gamimg systems" such as Neo Geo Pocket Color, Game Boy Advance, etc. In this day and age, who in the world wants to be connected to an wall-socket while playing video games? Or, worse than that, plug this A/C Adapter into an extension cord, then plug the extension cord to the wall outlet ... what a mess! You're better off spending your money on any of the new-wave "high-tech" batteries on the market today, such as Duracell's "Ultra" or Energizer's "E2 Titanium", both proven to last longer in high-tech devices. Better yet, go purchase the "3-in-1 Worm Light" for Neo Geo Pocket Color...which includes a re-chargeable battery pack w/charger.

          Amazon.com Product Description

          With a big list of features and the convenience of DVD-based recording, the Samsung SC-DC165 is great for getting outstanding shots of the next wedding, sporting event, or party. Thanks to the DVD format, you get the convenience of direct recording to high-capacity, single and dual layer DVD discs. Plus, the SC-DC165 can also record video and stills to the most popular memory card formats.

          Picture Perfect
          The SC-DC165 combines a 1/6-inch CCD camcorder with a 2.7-inch widescreen LCD for impressive image clarity. A 33x optical zoom lets you get close to the action, and you can zoom in even further with a 1200x digital zoom. Meanwhile, the camera's 10-second startup time lets you get shooting almost as soon as the action starts. The SC-DC165 records and plays high quality MPEG 4 video (720 x 480 at 30 frames per second) in true 16:9 widescreen format. There's even a built-in video light for capturing footage in low light situations. In addition to MPEG4 recording, the camcorder can double as a web cam, or use it to capture 800 x 600 still images.

          Total Flexibility
          Because the SC-DC165 works with DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD+R single layer formats, as well as the DVD+R dual layer format, you get excellent flexibility in terms of the media you want use. Also, the 4-in-1 memory card slot is compatible with the leading memory card formats: Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MMC, and SD cards. You can quickly and easily transfer footage to and from your computer using the USB 2.0 high-speed interface. Or, use the camera's analog-in port to import analog footage and instantly digitize it to the MPEG 4 format. The camcorder also supports the PictBridge standard for printing directly from the camera to a PictBridge-capable photo printer.
