"So far no problem, best low end Palm you can buy"
Pros: Works really well, programs are easy to install, helps organize daily schedule
Cons: battery, perhaps black and white for some (not me), backlight
Summary: This Palm is an amazing product. The digitizer problem everyone is talking about is an easy fix, there is a download from the official site (www.palm.com). This has helped me organize my life, especially my school work. It is quick and easy to store a note or school paper that is due. Programs are easily downloaded and then installed on the Palm, with the updated version of Palm Desktop, via the Palm site. Everything runs smoothly for me on the palm. Batteries are NOT built in, which can cause data loss if you are not careful, but can be corrected by a simple HotSync. You can insert an SD card for more space (which I needed, have a 128MB card and is more than enough space for me). Most programs will fit on your Palm itself, I have a slew of programs currently installed (everything from Chess to an astronomy program to a graphing calculator) and only half of my memory is being used. The basic things you wil need are already installed and use maybe a megabyte out of the 8. The backlight is the big drawback; its a pale on dark green light that doesn't keep clarity very well, but not an issue to keep you from purchasing.
If you want a basic Palm pilot, and you don't need color or huge memory on your palm, this is the one. It gets the neccesities done, and done well.
