Pros: Easy to use. Quick to set up. Great features.
Cons: Online documentation.

Like I said, mine was free as I won it in a drawing at a trade show, but I think that you would be more than justified in spending $249 for your own! Actually, that's what my wife is getting for her birthday next month!

As far as the system...

Pros: Great price for a lot of functionality, expands by using Springboard technology!
Cons: None...

When I heard that the creators of the original Palm Pilots were going to form a new company and create a new PDA, I was thrilled. Everyone got a kick out of the original ones, these Handspring Visors could only get better! I waited for weeks after its...

Pros: Inexpensive, reliable, versatile, good company
Cons: Limited operating system, less sleek than PalmV

If you're contemplating whether to buy a Palm or Handspring, I can tell you what I know, and you can decide. Both systems are well designed and function nearly identically. Here are the differences.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
If you're...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: None so far

I had been wanting a palm pilot for the longest. Probably since they were invented. But, I could never get enough money or justify a reason for needing it. Well, we got our tax refund back and I decided to get a palm. I also began to realize that I...

Pros: Inexpensive, Highly Customizable and Expandable, USB and Serial Port Support
Cons: Hardwired OS, Cheap Stylus, Handspring sacrificing long-term customer satisfaction for short-term growth

As promised, I am reporting back on the status of my Visor Deluxe following the installation of an OS patch supplied by Handspring.

Two words: it worked! :-)

I am happy to report that my Visor hasn't crashed once in the month or...

Pros: Clear screen, plenty of memory, improved applications, USB cradle
Cons: OS only patchable, stylus lacks grips

I had been pining for a PDA for ages, but finally went out a bought one this year for two reasons:

1. Starting college, I needed a workable planner -- and my paper planner just wasn't cutting it.

2. Fry's Electronics had refurb...

Pros: PalmOS, 8mb, Springboard slot, sturdy.
Cons: You are stuck with PalmOS 3.

Well, being the techno geek I am, I have been hankering for a PDA for quite some time now. Unfortunately I am also a college student and haven't had the money to pay for a device. Well I finally got to the point where I had no choice.

I have...

Pros: Small size, large screen, long battery life, 8MB memory, extremely easy to use, expandable
Cons: No rechargable battery included, expensive to expand

Technology is ubiquitous these days. You can't go very far without seeing someone on thier cell phone, checking thier pager, listening to thier MP3 player, or poking at thier PDA. It's easy to feel left behind, and even easier to criticize those around...

Pros: expandable, 8mb of memory, all the goodies of palm os
Cons: little bit larger than the palms-- maybe 10 centimeters- big deal

The Visor Deluxe from Handspring not only has all of the goodies of the palm operating system, but the expansion slot that enables you to add virtually anything you could every want. With 8 MB of memory over 10,000 contacts can be inserted. Among some...

Pros: Price, easy operation
Cons: Durability and quality of construction, cover

Over the past year I have weaned myself away from the paper calendar and now everything is in MS Outlook. I think this is great, but it is obviously a great disadvantage not to have all your contact and appointment information at all times. After a bit...

Pros: Expandable, plenty of memory
Cons: Somewhat costly

I purchased the Handspring Visor Deluxe about six months ago and I love it. This PDA (personal digital assistant)provides all the basic features that you expect to find in a It has an address book, memo pad, to do list, expense program, etc. It has...

Pros: great applications, affordable, easy to use
Cons: a bit too thick to carry in shirt pocket; OS not upgradeable

The Handspring Visor Deluxe is the best PDA for the money. I have used a Palm IIIx in the past as well as a Compaq IPAQ and I now find that the Visor Deluxe combines all the good features of both those devices while dispensing with the bad.

...

Pros: Palm OS, Springboard, good support, fast service
Cons: serial cradle mishap

I have to admit, I was taken by the Visor since it was announced, but didn't immediately have a need for a PDA. Plus, I wanted to see how everything shook out. When my computer crashed, taking all of my contact/date/mail with it, I realized that it may...

Pros: inexpensive, lots of memory, infinitely expandable, lots of pre-existing software
Cons: backlight isn't so great

I'm a consultant, so managing contacts
and meetings is an important aspect of
my job. I've bought other handheld devices
before, but none of them ever really worked
out that well for me.

I originally bought the compaq...

Pros: Cute colors, springboard module, 8 mb memory
Cons: cheap plastic feel, useless springboard modules, easily scratched screen, etc.

The handspring visor looks great, with the clear so iMAC design it appealed to this little place in my brain that keeps my obsession with everything translucent colors (Pager, cordless phone, answering machine, diskettes, you make it translucent I'm...
