Anyone else get their Palm M100?

I got mine the other day. It actually arrived on the 20th and I was out of town. Been having fun setting it up.

Oh... to keep this on topic. I had it in my pocket when I drove my MAXIMA today.

How long did it take to get it?

I'm still waiting on my Kenneth Cole watches from the Altima test drive...

You did not have to buy one. Just test drive it.

Dam you missed out on all the fun. Installs on the springs and suspension crap. I tried to get in touch with you, but was afraid that they deleted some front page staff. I moved back to Hawaii now so no more playing with our cars. I am thinking about a new car though!!!

I just sent the form in about a week ago so I am waiting for mine to arrive! By the way - what did you think about the 2002 I35? I thought it was a nice car but I wasn't overly impressed. I was afraid that after I test drove it, I would begin to notice bad things about my 2001 Max that I didn't before! That wasn't the case at all - the ride and handling was about the same. More power in the I35 as was expected but it didn't make the Max feel like a slug. Some of the additional features were pretty nice - like the driver's side seat automatically sliding back when removing the key and the heated rear seats. Just wondered what others thought of it.

Got my jensen wireless headphones a few days ago... Cheap quality + my head is too big... shoulda went for the palm (I didn't cuz I already have an HP jornada, and love it!)

As for the I35, it felt like it was a maxima plus $7G or so minus all the fun... sure it was quiter, and the suspension was a lot "squishier" for lack of a better word... It felt very disconnected from the road (compared to my 2K SE). The power was sweet, but it's mechanically idential to the 2K2 maxima... (test drove one of those too!!). No manual tranny option. Memory seat is nice. Took it up to 90mph on the test drive (feel like I freaked the salesman out, wheras the salesman w/ me on the maxima test drive was encouraging me way past 90mph).. @ high speeds its much quieter than the maxima (definitely less road noise). Analog clock = bad idea. Wood trim looked fake. Missed titanium gauges. Body styling too conservative.. Most everything else gave you a feeling a deja vu after driving the 2k2 max...

My Conclusion :: Fully loaded 2k2 w/ nav anyday (over a similarly priced base I35)!!!

Thanks for the info... Between the I35, Altima, and Sentra test drive freebies, I'll have my 2002 Christmas shopping done early.

It's that darn six months between test drives that sucks!

In deciding what I want I did a search on each product. The Palm sells new for about $100.00 while the headphones sell for around $53.00...

Problem is I don't need the Palm, I don't drink a lot of wine, and I could use the headphones... But, if they're that cheap & worthless ---Aaaaarrrgh!
