Palm M130

A couple years ago I recieved a new Palm Pilot M130 as a gift from my parents. As a student I was pretty excited about what the possiblities were. I could get rid of some notebooks because I could keep class notes on it (thanks to the handy keyboard accessory), I could keep all my phone numbers and email addresses, and whatever appointments I had. Also I thought I could throw a game or two on there for the boring times in between classes.
Well I did all that, and it was good.
However, there are a couple of things that I don't like about this particular PDA. The battery life is non existent, if you forget to charge this thing overnight you should write down all your appointments for the day on a piece of paper and leave the Palm on the charger because it will not last to the afternoon. Also along with the battery life being short it's not customer replaceable(it's a Lithium Ion), so you have to send it off to Palm to get the battery replaced if it quits, and God help you if it's not under warranty anymore, I've heard the fee for a Palm service is 120 dollars plus YOU pay shipping. So you might as well just buy a whole new device.
And if you do let the battery go dead you better have done a HotSync right before because ALL of your information will be lost. And you better be ready for it to fail on you regularly. It has failed at least 3 times on me.
But if you are on top of charging, and HotSync it whenver new stuff is added or taken away then this should be easy to fix and little more than a minor headache. Just get used to saying "It did it again." If you are looking for a shopping list or something to keep your schedule and phone numbers in, then this product is, now, inexpensive and has the memory to do it (provided you charge and HotSync regularly)
I suggest that you save up some more money and buy a more powerful Dell or HP.
