Handspring Visor Edge Handheld

Pros: lightweight, compact, handy for business, well built, slim frame, many applications
Cons: black and white

Not only does this amazing product offer a variety of functions to organize, but the slim frame of the "Handspring Visor Edge" gives it a compact style able to fit almost anywhere. If your are a businessman, and you are always trying to figure out what...

Pros: Excellent screen contrast in varied lighting conditions.
Cons: Not as compatible with third party applications as Palm Pilot.

The Visor is functionally similar to my old Palm Pilot III. I think the display is superior, especially in dim lighting, but the new Pilot 100 seem to be as good. I switched when the backlight on the Palm failed, and it was going to be a long wait for a...

Pros: expandable, easy to use
Cons: none

If you are looking to get a Palm, look no more..i recommend a handspring Visor instead....they have the same features, same software, same everything...the only difference is its another company and has the ability to expand the capabilities...Which is...

Pros: The Visor
Cons: The Palm

The best thing about the Handspring Visor is the new addition of the SpringBoard expansion modules. The SpringBoard add-on gives you the opportunity to add on as many devices (such as a modem or camera) as you want. Once the Visor and the modules...

Pros: Springboard Modules
Cons: Above-Mentioned Quirks

It seemed to me that the visor was the exact same as the palm, yet more readily available and a little more versatile due to the springboard module option. However, in the twelve days that I had my visor (Best Buy has a fourteen-day return policy), I...

Pros: Expandable. Inexpensive. Useful!!
Cons: A bit large. Plastic case isn't as nice as the metal Palm V

Several months ago I suggested to my ever-organized wife that she get a Palm organizer. Two reasons: First she always loves anything that allows her to be more organized. Second I get to check out a new electronic gadget (I'm not very organized but toys...

Pros: Expandability
Cons: Short Battery Life

I received my Handspring Visor as a birthday present earlier this year. (Great gift for anyone!)

This thing has changed my life. I live and die by my Handspring. The Datebook keeps me up-to-date on what I need to do and what I will be doing....

Pros: Expandable Springboard module, fast USB port, inexpensive.
Cons: Serial cradle costs extra, Palm M100 a better deal, better devices cost little more.

I began my struggle with the Big Portable Device Dilemma a couple of years ago (after spending several years, of course, perfecting my paper planner system). I have owned and used the visor as well as the NEC MobilePro 770 and, briefly, the Mitsubishi...

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: It's a palm IIIe, plus a little.
Cons: Costs $30 more!

NOTE: I have mostly rewritten this review because of differences in price mentioned to me in the comments ...

I have had the experience to play with many different PDA's here in my work environment between all the different...

Pros: Infinitely expandable
Cons: Expensive modules, Poor customer service, Defective products

I've enjoyed my Handspring Visor with some major caveats. I bought a USB synch device and it died. My attempts to return it to Handspring were met with indifference to my plight for an exchange. Its been a year and a half since I got my Visor and...

Pros: Features, upgradeable, price
Cons: Limited to the pre-loaded operating system

If you are like me, you have many things going on a once. And if you are really like me, you tend to forget to do something or the specifics of something. I often feel like I have post-it notes all over my body, but when I move -- some fall off!! Oh...

Pros: Price and ease of use
Cons: Not as many choices of colors as delux edition

I purchased this product after comparing it to several different products. I kept asking myself, how much $$ did I want to invest into a product that was being updated as I shopped with newer features? I kept coming back to this because it was the most...

Pros: Looks great and durable
Cons: Weird place for a IR port

I am very pleased with my recent purchase of my Edge. I wanted a sleek, functional, and durable PDA, which the Edge delivers. I hate to say it, but I dropped it on a carpeted floor at least three times and there was no notable damage to the unit....

Pros: Cost, size, speed, capacity, ease of use.
Cons: Not the thinnest around. Screen could be a little brighter.

I purchased the Handspring Visor PDA primarily to store my calendar and address book, both of which I need constantly in my business. I'm very pleased with this little gadget. Setup was a snap, really not requiring any reference to the minimal printed...
