Hello, welcome to Talk3G!
First off, the M5000 is big. One might even go as far as calling it unweildly. However, it's a powerful Windows Mobile device and, if you're a Windows user, the integration may well make it worth every ounce of bulk.
Windows Mobile devices synchonrise with Outlook on your computer through Microsoft ActiveSync. So, you'll get the best functionality if you use Outlook for all your callendar and email needs. ActiveSync is also used to install applications on the device and transfer files to and from it. ActiveSync can, AFAIK, be used over Bluetooth and/or WiFi as well as USB - giving you a lot of flexibility as to when and where you sync.
Having never used Palm OS I'm afraid I can't offer any futher advice, but hopefully other members will be able to. All I can say is that Windows Mobile and Symbian are probably more advanced now than Palm ever will be.
Enjoy the forum,
Ben
