content: Review of Palm 505,I've owned the Palm IIIXe and was satisfied until it died after 3 years. I then decided to upgrade to the Palm 505, because of the expansion card and the color. I loved it!!!! and used it everyday at home and work. I consider the Palm instrumental, but on Jan 1,2002 my Palm 505 crashed, I lost all data including Epocrates, Id, Pt files, Photo software, Printing software, Patientkeeper data files and all appointments and my work schedules. To make matters worse I was also unable to synchronize with the desktop and have not been able to do so since 01/01/02.I'm still trying to contact Palm without success. As of today, I will switch to Handspring Prism. By the way ,several of my colleagues have the same issues with the Palm 505, we thought it was a virus. Many have switched to the HP Jornada.
