Handspring Visor Platinum Handheld

Pros: Backlight, portability, speed, also very reliable.
Cons: Price and color (if your picky).

Of my Visor Deluxe, Prism and Palm VII, the Platinum keeps me coming back. Not only does it have quick load times and an easy to use interface, but the Platinum gives a glimpse of the future of Palm technology.

Pros: Super fast processing, expandable, quality stylus
Cons: Minor exterior scuffing, poor backlight, old/bulky design

In a flash my world was turned upside down after having somehow misplaced my Palm Pilot early this year. After a brief morning period and an anxiety-ridden month without my electronic co-dependent, it was time to find a new PDA. Concerned that...

Pros: Faster than the Deluxe, supports PQAs and Internet browsing with OmniSky
Cons: Price

I upgraded to the Platinum from the Handspring Deluxe that I purchased a year ago in order to be able to install the OmniSky wireless modem. I've been surfing the net wirelessly ever since and absolutely love the duo.

Even if you're looking...

Pros: Great PDA with lots of memory and an economical price
Cons: AA batteries die quickly! Buy in bulk.

This is great little piece of machinery with a lot of power. I lived through the ice ages of hand held computers and PDAs and I have to say for the price and the product I could not have done better.

I got my Visor back in December as a...

Pros: Nice design, works well, easy to use, good battery life
Cons: Price

I recieved the Handspring Visor Platinum as a Christmas present this year. I am a 14 year old in High School, and wanted this to help me keep organized. I am terrible with filling out a planner, and needed to stay on top of due dates and things. This...

Pros: versatile PDA that offers a suite of options outside of address book and daily organizer
Cons: still need to use standard batteries

In looking at the variety of PDAs I was most impressed with the Handspring visor - Platinum. The product provides me the necessary functions required of an organizer and offers additional enhancements that separate it from the competition. I was...

snazzy, small, easy to carry, and something nice to show off to all your friends. Not a need, more like a want. Works nicely.

I thought that the price was a little over the top for the few features it comes with but the size and weight of it were very accomodating.

I think everyone should own one because they help remember certain appointments. They are a little expensive but they are worth it.

I bought a factory refurbished unit at Fry's for 100.00. This is really all that anybody needs who relies upon a PDA for data functions. The speed and reliability are quite adequate. The lack of a color screen will only be a problem for those who want to view photos on their PDA. Adding color creates problems of battery life and screen visibility in bright sun conditions, however. Platinum is the ticket!

it is extremely small,stylish,classy and handsome.it is effecient has a long battery life and is of a good quality

very useful esay and fun to use every worker should have one not only can you store numbers and addresses but you acn keep shopping lists recde music and many other useful thing can be done

I used this PDA quite successfully and satisfactorily for the last two years or so. It's done everything I need it to and more. The only complaints I have are (1) Battery life; (2) Fragility - I've now owned two of these and both have broken. One good drop and that's all she wrote.... I'm now in the market for something more durable. The cheap price is good, but not if you have to buy one per year! I guess you get what you pay for.
