Handspring Visor Platinum Handheld

Pros: Easy to use, fast, nice display, and a good leather slip case
Cons: Screen not as sensitive as palm, have to work harder to get reaction

With this much memory and the expansion slot, there are endless capabilities. I use it for medical software and love it, with a few exceptions.

The Visor does not respond very well to my stylus, as compared to my old palm 3x. Along the edges,...

Pros: Portable, very cool, easy to work with, keeps me organzied
Cons: None

I have asked myself how did I ever live without my Handspring Visor? I kept a notebook full of henscratches and was very unorganized is how! It is simply amazing how much more organized I am now. It has made a big difference in my maintaing my...

Pros: Ease of use, large display area, versatility.
Cons: Finding help topics is a little tricky.

I am truly happy with my purchase. I love how easy it is to program my information. The Palm OS interface is similar to other date book programs on IBM compatibles. I choose where the information goes, type in the info, and then I sync up. It's so...

Pros: Nice display, features, functionality, and a nice overall product.
Cons: Monochrome display.

The Platinuim is a very nice product. Graffiti recognition is next to perfect, though I did initaly have some problems with the letters "y", "d" and "g". The included Hotsync software provides very nice syncronizations, though it does crash if you try...

Pros: good screen, fast, 8 mb of RAM, updated OS, expansion
Cons: no real advantages

The Visor Platinum is Handspring's answer for power. It comes in the standard Visor size, slightly thinner than the Palm IIIXE and is available only in a conservative, yet stylish metallic silver that works across the board. It comes with a black flip...

Pros: nice design
Cons: Company policys and trust.

OK, I am what many people call a Gadget junkie. If it is new I own it. I have the Palm III, IIIc, V, Vx. Now I see this Handspring Visor Platinum and can't wait to get one. I go to their web site and BUY one. I pay extra for OVERNIGHT delivery....

Pros: upgradability
Cons: price/performance

Though I can't say enough about how superior the Handspring products are to the Palm's, when it comes to the Visor Platinum, I just can't tell the difference between it and the Deluxe model. Aside from the obvious silver coated plastic shell, I really...

Pros: Palm OS 3.5, faster processor, sleek look
Cons: Washed out screen

Just upgraded from a Visor Deluxe to the Platinum. First off, I notice the screen is a little darker than the Deluxe. Not a big deal, but side by side the Platinum looks a tad bit washed out.

Also, no a *huge* recognizable difference in...

Pros: PALM OS, USB, 8 megs of storage
Cons: batteries, speed, size

Ok,
I got the platinum thinking it would be much better than the deluxe. It turns out in my own speed tests (I will tell you how I did this), the deluze actually seems to run faster than the platinum, even though the platinum is suppose to be 50%...

Pros: Fast, nice stylus, memory, price
Cons: hotsync

I bought the Visor Platinum for 250 with a 40 dollar rebate. I have been eyeing the other more pricey palm pilots, but I realized that on a limited budget I did not need certain extra features. The Visor has all the functions I believe are necessary for...

Pros: Fast, uses the Palm OS, stylish.
Cons: Uses AAA batteries vs. rechargeable.

I bought the first Palm Pilot back in about 1996 (?), so I've been a big fan for a while (my original Pilot is so old, it was still US Robotics -- not yet 3Com!)

The Handspring Platinum is a good, solid PDA. Very fast and based on the same...

Pros: Wonderful with EyeModule and AvantGo! Noticeably faster with all apps.
Cons: Multifunction Stylus not really functional; No apparent body design improvements

The Visor Platinum is a prime example of how far Palm Computing has come in such a short time.

I owned an original US Robotics Palm Pilot, which sold me on the Palm OS platform for life. The functionality and ease of use of Palm OS continues...

Pros: Easy to use, Good service area and customer service. Price better than Palm VII.
Cons: Very buggy. Crashed my Visor Platinum once every 3 days. Bulky.

I have used this modem for 1 month with my Visor Platinum and can say that it works great. Only problem that I have is that it crashed my visor about every 3 days of use before I updated the flash ROM. No loss of data, just time wasted to reset. I...

Pros: Expandable memory, speed, excellent customer service from Handspring.
Cons: Some programs may not work off the 8MB flash module.

My Visor Platinum has been my best friend in my medical school training. I chose the Visor Platinum over Palm IIIxe because it has the expandable memory. The total 16MB of memory gives me plenty of room for medical references. Many of the medical...

Pros: Lots of ad-ons, fast, compact, all you need
Cons: not color. hehheh

I have always been a fan of Handspring Visors simply because I have never had a single complaint about them whatsoever. I can't think of a negative experience I have ever had with my Platinum, or that my boyfriend has had with his Deluxe. The Platinum...
