Handspring Visor Edge Handheld

Pros: Upgradeable
Cons: a little bulkier

If have wanted to buy a PDA, but you were indecisive, the Handspring Visor is for you. This inexpensive PDA uses Palm technology (it was created by ex 3comers.) but has advantages over its' counterpart. A slot in the back of the Visor allows you to add...

Pros: Powerful, compact, inexpensive, expandable
Cons: None!

After much research into alternatives, my husband purchased a Visor for me for Christmas last year. What a fantastic gift! I was able to quit lugging around my Daytimer for ever! The Visor does everything my Daytimer used to in a super small and...

Pros: So easy to use and cool looking!
Cons: Different language to learn (computer vs handheld)

I admit it, it made my day when I got home and hooked up my new Visor to the computer and hit that Hot Sync button for the first time and I heard that little melody! "bee dee deeee!" Nothing is more fun than a new *toy*.

I love this...

Pros: expandable
Cons: screen detaches instead of flip over

In this review, I will focus on what makes the Visor different from other Palm devices, rather than rehashing all the common specs. The Visor is most distinctive for its expansion port -- the Springboard. This promises all sorts of possibilities in the...

Pros: Expandability
Cons: Name Recognition

For sometime, I have been reluctant to succumb to the peer pressure to get a PDA. I did not see the point of paying $150+ for a Gameboy without the games. My “post-it” management system was working out just fine!

Then my Mother got a Palm....

Pros: Upgradable, cheap, light, fun, Looks Great
Cons: NOT MUCH MEMORY, PURCHASE THE DELUXE FOR A LOT OF MEMORY!!

I used to write about 200 posty-notes a week, with phone numbers, dates, tracking numbers, and reminders. They somehow ALL ENDED UP IN MY POCKET. This is bad news when wash-time comes around. I'm reputable for having the worst long-term memory for...

Pros: Easy to use, easy to beam, easy to edit, easy to be organized
Cons: none

I never thought I could afford a PDA until the Handspring Visor showed up. With it's expandability, data entry options, as well as a great price, the Visor is the one to buy.

I can't use a Daytimer. All the information gets put in the wrong...

Pros: EASILY EXPANDABLE!
Cons: COMES WITH A USB DOCKING CRADLE. SERIAL DOCKING CRADLE SOLD SEPERATELY

This is by far the best organizer I have come across. It runs on the same format as the Palm Pilot, Palm OS, yet it is more expandable. It has an easy accessable slot in the back where you can put extra memory modules, backup modules, an eye module for...

Pros: Improved Calculator, Expandable, Price
Cons: Finish Details, Slow work on add-ons

Handspring's competition for the Palm III is really what it is to be cracked up to be, and more. In real world use the Visor functions more like a Palm V or even a Palm VII. The essential reason is the ability to expand memory and other functions by...

Pros: Palm OS, someday-useful expansion slot, takes regular old batteries
Cons: Wish it felt more "rugged"

I bought the Visor to help me get things out of my head and into Real Life where they can do some good (or evil, muahahahaha), and to help me organize all of my sinister machinations. After three weeks I can say that it's helping.

Actually I...

Pros: Great PDA device
Cons: The hardcover isn't a fliptop

When I was deciding what sort of PDA I should get my soon to be college bound cousin I was originally debating over whether I should get a Palm III or a Palm V. It happened by chance that I stumbled across the Handspring Visor. Actually when I first...

Pros: Affordable, small, useful, chicks dig it
Cons: AAA Battery

It might be true that the Handspring Visor is a great organizational tool for the non-techie, but it is also great for the techie as well. As a certified geek (I read Slashdot(.org) every day and I am currently employed as a Technical Designer), I have...

Pros: price, extensibility, customer service
Cons: none that I'm aware of

Every now and then I have to indulge myself and buy a cool techie toy. Fortunately, I bought the Handspring Visor and not only satisfied my need to spend, but I also got something that I could justify to my wife about.

Handspring was founded...

Pros: Price, quality OS, modules are awesome
Cons: Cheap plastic cover

I was on the waiting list to receive a Visor when they first came out. I knew I had a quality product when it came. In under 2 minutes I had it out of the box and it was fully functioning. The USB connection makes hookups to any machine a breeze and...

Pros: Easy platform, size, expandability
Cons: none yet

When I first looked into buying an electronic organizer I looked at the palm and the handspring. The reason I bought the handsrping was because it had an expansion slot in the back where modules could be added more easily and that it was a new product...
