Pros: Economical, Expandable, plenty of memory.
Cons: 3 to 4 weeks to ship.

Let me begin by saying that this is my first PDA purchase. Up til now I've been juggling two planners, a desk calendar at work, and a wall calendar at home, in addition to the trail of sticky-notes that followed me around. After reading some product...

Pros: great functionality, superb expandability, great price
Cons: It dosen't come in Red!

I Purchased a visor deluxe 2 months ago, and let me say....i'm impressed! it's totally versatile with the new springboard technology. I'm glad i purchased this instead of a Palm IIIxe. The two PDA's look equal on the outside, but it's a new story inside....

Pros: Swell colors, like the expandable slot, good tech support
Cons: Crashes too often

I purchased a Handspring Visor Deluxe back in June, in order to replace my archaic paper organizer. I decided on a Visor Deluxe after doing the proper research on Epinons and Productopia.

My first Visor Deluxe began crashing right away, even...

Pros: Versatile, Palm Compatible, Customer Service
Cons: PC Synch, Cover

OK, sorry for the bad pun.

I pretty much agree with most of the other comments you will read. It's pretty much just like a Palm, but the expansion slots make it, at least in theory, more versatile. At the moment I have not bought any...

Pros: 8MB, cheap, reliable
Cons: Can't flash upgrade the OS

One of these days, someone is finally going to make a palmtop that integrates all the features I want at a reasonable price. Until then, the Visor Deluxe comes pretty close for the money.

Granted, the non-flashable OS is a big letdown from a...

Pros: speed compatibility
Cons: although it's cheaper then a palm $249 is still a bit steep.

So you think you need a PDA do you? Fact is most people don't really have any true use for these devices, but they make really cool toys. granted this is more expensive than your average toy, but you'll really get a lot of use out of it so i guess its...

Pros: Price,Memory,backlight,Your choice about color,Fast
Cons: Cheap Stylus,big and bulky,Springboard Expansions are costly,Palm OS 3.1 not 3.5

Just recently I have bought the Handspring Visor Deluxe in blue. I bought it at my local staples for $200 (No Rebate or anything like that). As soon as I got it I installed the nesesary hardware and software. It was so simple I picked it all up in...

Pros: Great features, expandable, easy to use
Cons: Cover makes one-handed use annoying

I've been using my Visor Deluxe for about 9 months. The built-in software is very easy to use, but powerful. The best part, in my opinion, is that the desktop software for my Macintosh is superb, easy to use, and non-invasive. The desktop software is...

Pros: Under $300, Springboard Expansion Slot, Palm OS, 8MB memory
Cons: No Flash ROM

The Visor deluxe is by far the best PDA on the Market. Not only is it a sub $300 PDA with 8MB of memory, but it features the most flexible feature of all, the Springboard expansion slot. With the springboard slot we can add extra memory at will and...

Pros: More slick then any Palm
Cons: Still waiting for some of the more useful Springboard modules to come to market

If you are looking for a good entry level PDA look no further then the Handspring Visor. I started off my PDA use with a class doing Palm OS interface and application development. After completing the class I had to get a PDA :-) and wanted...

Pros: USB, Price, Expansion
Cons: no internal battery

I work as a technician and I mostly work with the Palm IIIX and the VX I think that these are quality devices. But I much prefer my visor deluxe to either of the previously mentioned. The price of the visor is much less than the vx which has...

Pros: excellent machine!
Cons: N/A

As talked about in previous opinions, the portable computer industry has a huge selection of different kinds of machines, and it IS a matter of preference. But since Epinions in an opinion-writing website, I shall tell you my opinion about the Handspring...

Pros: Palm OS, Springboard Slot
Cons: Batteries, Location of IR

The Visor Deluxe is basically the expanded version of the plain old Visor and also offers many different features. With the Springboard Expansion Slot, accessories are now smaller, and fit in with a snap. Some of the advantages of the Visor Deluxe over...

Pros: East to navigate, a lot of software that you can download.
Cons: Expensive screen covers if you don't want to scratch your screen.

We decided to go with the Handspring palm because it is made by the same man who started the Palm Pilots, but it had a lot of memory. It is also expandable, with memory sticks, you can by a digital camera attachment, and many more attachments. They slide...

Pros: Easy to Use, Versatility
Cons: See review

I first started seriously looking at purchasing a PDA about 6 months ago. To tell you the honest truth, I was only really familiar at the time with the Palm name, and started by looking at their available options.

It soon became clear to me...
