I was stupid and used my 110V charger for my Palm with a Dutch plug instead of my converter and obviously fried it. Now my palm was completely empty, wouldn't turn on anymore so empty and it still doesn't. I'm wondering if I can try charging it through the USB port of my laptop (which will take days) or that I completely fried it and should forget about it, cry about all my lost info and just leave it at that?

No, your palm is completely fried. Unless of course, the unit itself has one of those fuses that close down the electric circuit before it reaches the vital components of the gadget, but I doubt it. Only AVR's and UPS's has those. So I recommend trying to recover the memory of the gadget (I believe there are spe******ts for those, check your local directory) and buy a new one, insert the recovered data. And voila. Nothing to cry about.































Hope everything would be alright

You have likely NOT fried the palm but just the charger. Most chargers have built in protection circuitry to ensure accurate DC voltage levels on the output. The charger is most likely history. You may have a hard time charging the phone using your computer via USB. Most of these phones will not charge via USB connected to a computer if the battery is completely dead. This is the case on my Motorola phone. I would try to get a hold of another wall/car charger and try that first before scrapping your phone.
