Reviews of the Palm m500
-
CNET Review
The Good: Expansion card slot; fast processor; vibrating alarm.
The Bad: Lacks innovative features to warrant its price; no expansion card in the box.
The Bottom Line: The m500 offers some nice refinements, but the older Palm Vx is a better value for those who don't need the expansion card slot.
