Editorial Review:
Palm M125 16MB Handheld PDA (P80703U , 3C80703U) Expand your horizons and organize your busy schedule with the Palm m125 handheld. With 8 MB of memory, a USB HotSync cradle, and a new expansion card slot, the curvy, sleek Palm m125 offers lots of computing power and versatility. You'll be able to add more powerful applications and store thousands of memos, appointments, addresses, and to-do items. The Palm m125 handheld comes with Palm's classic information management applications, including Date Book, Address Book, To-Do List, and Memo Pad. You can also jot down notes quickly using the Notepad feature, which works like an electronic sticky note. You can back up data with your PC or Macintosh in seconds with the included USB HotSync cradle. And it works with all the same accessories as the Palm m100 handheld--including keyboard, digital camera, and an array of color faceplates. With the expansion card slot, you can back up your data without synchronizing with your PC, expand the memory capacity to hold e-books and other applications, and add modules such as a dictionary-thesaurus and Lonely Planet CitySync guides. It is compatible with both MultiMediaCards (MMCs) and Secure Digital (SD) cards. SKU: P80703U , 3C80703U
The Palm m125 is similar to the Palm m100 and m105 in its shape and classic, powerful Palm organizer functions. But it also offers several features that elevate it above the other two models--a memory card expansion slot, bonus software, and compatibility with peripherals for i705 and m500 series models.
The curved base of the Palm m125 fits snugly and comfortably in the palm of your hand. It features a protective cover that flips up and is flexible at the end--a nice touch to prevent damage if you scrape it against anything while opening. It also has a window on the cover that lets you check the time by pressing the button that pokes through.
Like other Palm handhelds the Palm m125 doesn't have a keyboard. Instead, you write shorthand-like strokes on the special writing area at the bottom of the backlit grayscale screen, which the m125 recognizes as letters. You can also tap with the stylus to type letters using an onscreen keyboard, as well as open menus and select icons. (For more keying power, you might consider the optional Palm portable keyboard.)
The Palm operating system (OS) is very efficient, so the 8 MB memory is enough to store a lot of data and quite a few applications, too. If you want to add more applications or content, you have two choices. First, you can find applications and e-books on the Web, download them to your desktop or laptop hard drive, and synchronize the data using the USB HotSync cradle, which attaches to the Palm universal connector at the base of the handheld. It's the same connector as on the m500 and m505 and Palm has promised to support it for three years, so there should be plenty of peripherals available.
Your other option is to use the expansion slot on the side of the handheld, which accepts Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMediaCard (MMC) memory cards. Palm offers a number of expansion cards with content (such as e-books and Lonely Planet travel guides), applications (the PalmPak language translator, for example), and games. You can also store applications and content on memory cards (such as those from Viking or SanDisk) without sacrificing any of the Palm m125's 8 MB memory.
The Palm m125 comes with Palm OS 4.0, which has new e-mail and Web browsing software, and enables you to send SMS (Short Message Service). You can use infrared to connect to your cell phone for a wireless connection, or add an optional modem to connect to a standard phone line.
In addition to the standard built-in utilities and the Palm Desktop application (for both Windows and Mac), you get extra software including an e-book reader, Documents To Go (for viewing and editing Word and Excel documents), and AvantGo (which downloads Web content, such as news from BBC or the latest soccer scores).
For a budget PDA, the small, light Palm m125 has some nice design touches, is loaded with software extras, and can be customized with thousands of available Palm OS applications. It may not be the most powerful PDA on the market, but its expansion capabilities certainly kick it up a notch. --Mary Branscombe and Agen G.N. Schmitz

Rating:  - I love palms, but this won't work with my computer. Money wasted.
It's too bad that palm doesn't stay with what it does best, a great planner. When they went to the phone mode, the sound was terrible. That's why I just wanted a simple old-fashioned palm (I prefer something separate from the phone). This is no fault of the seller, but I just wanted a palm I could use just as a primary function-planner. This was a real disappointment. I ended up buying an I-touch with the planner app.
Rating:  - Palm m125 user and advice
I am satisfied with this product except for the battery usage. Turns out that in some of these units the 'ultracapacitors' were leaking and eventually were shorting out. Ultracapacitors maintain the device memory during battery changes. This leaking/shorting caused the following:
- immediate loss of data memory when batteries removed
- high drain of new batteries - sometimes only lasting 1 day in my case

Rating:  - PERFECT!
The m125 is deffientally worth it's wieght in gold. At my middle school, there has been a Palm Pilot craze, and at the same time, I found myself wishing for something to help me keep organized. I tried a paper panner, but it was too bulky and heavy to carry around all day. I was just looking for a simple Palm Pilot and found the m125. It was PERFECT!
I love the m125! It is perfect for 13- year olds like me who just need something simple and nothing too fancy. The m125 is what I found ... Read More
Rating: - A Great Palm Pilot
I was given an m125 as a gift to help me keep track of my appointments. I found it to be very useful, and the one I had worked optimally. It takes notes, has a calendar, lets me make lists, draw little pictures, play some simple games... it's great. And if I use it normally without playing games much (just to save info, which is the main use for it after all) the batteries last a few weeks, and it's no big deal to back up the data at the end of every day, just like I would charge my cell phone at ...

Rating: - Palm, a Disappointment
I have been a user of PDA's for quite awhile. I have only owned Palm Pilots. The first one I owned worked fantastic, it was my life. I used it for appointments, directions, and a rolodex. It was my life blood. Somewhere, someplace, I lost that Palm Pilot. I figured I would upgrade and I purchased the new version M series. I got the M125. After awhile I could not set my time or date, I just could not press the lower left hand done button. I ran out of battery power and by the time I got back ... Read More
