Title: Screen worse than IIIc, few SD cards available
Review: This has been a good product, but was not worth the [money] I paid for it. The color screen was okay, but then a colleague showed me his IIIc screen, and then I was downright angry!! Palm blew it on the screen. It's very marginal. The options for the SD cards are few and far between. There are book titles--but who is going to read a book on any Palm? And, wireless connectivity has been VERY slow to come. Utilizing maps (e.g., RoadAtlas) is almost futile with the small, low-resolution screen. I would not recommend the 505 and would suggest the following alternatives: 1) save your money and just get a Palm V, 2) if email is big for you try the i705 (no color though--Palm must be scared!), or 3) get an Ipaq.The future is pretty clear. Palm stock is WAY down over this last year and Ipaqs are spreading fast. Palm had a good niche market, but Microsoft reigns supreme with software and Comaq has a core competency in electronics manufacturing. Palm has neither.
Is the review positive or negative?
