zanybrainy's Full Review: Handspring Visor Edge Handheld
My Palm IIIx (which I loved) slipped out of my hand, and as luck would have it, fell face down on a rock. Bye-Bye IIIx. Since I've become addicted to PDA's I waited several days until my mourning period was over and was ready to buy another IIIx (actually IIIxe, the IIIx replacement). Didn't even think about buying another make or model since I was so satisfied with my IIIx for the year that I had it.
I mentioned my loss to a fellow worker, who had a black (graphite) 2MB Handspring Visor. Found out that it not only used the Palm OS, but that the company was created by some of the folks who worked at Palm, which suggested to me that with all that know-how, the Handspring would be as good as my Palm or even more so.
When she showed me that back of her Handspring, and I saw the removable module, that did it! The one thing I had always wished the PDA's had were interchangeable modules, like my Texas Instruments T-58 programmable calculator from over twenty years ago! If only my Palm had a backup module I would very rarely have to hot-sync to my laptop to backup my data, and here it was in the Visor.
Even though there is a 8MB model, for my purposes I never even used half of the 4MB in my Palm, so the 2MB Handspring model was plenty. Plus, if the time came where I did need more memory, there is a 8MB flash memory module that I could slip into the handspring. That did it. I've had mine for two weeks now (with the optional backup module and a metal stylus to replace the plastic one that comes with the 2MB model). I love it! The screen is tack sharp, and I've had no problems what so ever. If you are in the market for a PDA, check out Handspring before making your decision.
