Handspring Visor Edge Handheld

Pros: Net Access, Palm OS, Existing Software Library, Easy Add-Ons, Cheap
Cons: Synchronization problems

Based upon the Palm OS, the Handspring Visor looks practically like a Palm but is much cheaper. It can run any software available for the Palm OS, so this makes it a big hit with me right away. I also like the springboard (snap-in add-ons) devices that...

Pros: beautiful screen, recognition is good, infrared communications, expandability, GPS and wireless connections
Cons: infrared eye is on the side, only 2mb of memory

I use my Visor Handspring every day. I use it to carry my calendar, homework, and phone numbers everywhere I go. It is extremely convenient and portable. I also the optional GPS system for the handspring, I'll never get lost in the car again! The hand...

Pros: Ease of use, price, EXPANDABILITY, packaged software makes life easy
Cons: When you're installing a million and a half video games, the memory goes quick.

For the past four years, I have organized my life by means of small pads of paper. Understandably, this has its conveniences, such as being able to write some vital piece of information down, tear it off and give it to a friend. Also, the ability to...

Pros: Infinitely expandable, easy to use, Stable as a Rock
Cons: Addictive, price for the extra toys

Getting a Handspring Visor and using it, will definitely get you more organized. I am an MIS Manager, and taking programming classes. My Visor allows me to take class notes, compile C code from class examples, and take notes, it also reminds me of due...

Pros: Maybe have good product?
Cons: Really bad service

I hate the people who work at Handspring. Here's my story. After much debate, I ordered a Handspring months before Christmas so that I could give it to myself (from my wife) for Christmas. I waited the 6-8 weeks that they said it would take to get the...

Pros: its great!
Cons: nothing bad

Handspring's Visor was designed to be an expandable solution for business people looking to save money. Though priced at a mere $179 (with cradle), the Visor has Springboard expansion, 2 MBs of Ram, and a quality 160x160 pixel screen. You can also...

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: Extra Features, not the extra cost.
Cons: The screen protector works great protecting the screen, however, a flip style would be much better. The included stylus is OK. Upgrade the stylus ASAP.

Can't beat the Visor!! Overall the best value in PDA equipment out there. I already have my Visor loaded with software and have barely touched on the 8mb of storage. The Datebook + is a great feature with quite a bit of detail for scheduling and...

Pros: Very expandable, easy to travel with, price.
Cons: Looks, 2MB of RAM

Handspring is my favorite PDA company out there. I'm totally unimpressed with Palm's lineup and they have not shown me anything that I really want to jump out of my seat for. The m505 looks nice, but then your dealing with a price tag that hits almost...

Pros: Expandable, stunning screen and USB docking cradle
Cons: Some programs aren't compatible

I received a Handspring Visor for Christmas after a long wait for their debut and I was beaming with delight. The Handspring is very similar to the Palm III except it has an incredible screen that is identical to the Palm V. It also has the same...

Pros: Springboard future, price, Datebook +,
Cons: Not as sleek as Palm V

I was using a Palm Pilot Professional, loved it, but was having a difficult time reading the screen. My eyes are failing and I needed the light to be "just so" or I couldn't see the print. I was ready for the new operating system with...

Pros: convienence,ease of use
Cons: it can lock up and you lose information put in since last hot sink

For Christmas last year our family invested in three Visors. My husband, our seventeen year old son, and I became instant converts.
In our pre-Visor days we call carried a bulky planner to keep track of appointments, numbers, notes, etc. I am now...

Pros: small; lightweight; rechargeable; quick processor; lots of memory; springboard extendable
Cons: flip cover unwieldy; stylus attaches oddly; can't press buttons with stylus; modules attach through extension

I recently upgraded to the Visor Edge from a Palm V after being frustrated with the Palm's lack of extensibility. (Each time I tried to put more than two AvantGo channels on it it wouldn't be able to sync because it would run out of memory... argh.)...

Pros: Thin enough to fit in a pocket.
Cons: Had to exchange once already for bad battery. Constant memory errors and resets.

Having purchased an original Visor Deluxe, I thought the Edge would be a good (and lighter) replacement. Six months in, the battery went out. Handspring graciously replaced it, and upgraded my OS in the process. Ever since then, I get frequent fatal...

Pros: Cheap way to organize your life
Cons: Support is the WORST I've seen

The Visor Edge is a respectable piece of hardware at a bargain price. It holds up alright to normal use with the exception of the badly designed stylus. It had the potential to be a good piece of equipment but missed the boat.

The Visor Edge...
