Handspring Visor Edge Handheld

Pros: Thin and lightweight, includes all functions for a good basic PDA.
Cons: Quality control problems -- two have died on me.

For the first ten months I owned my Visor Edge, I loved it. I want a PDA that is thin and light, wi ...

Pros: LIGHT weight, easy to use, impresses people at parties.
Cons: Uses Graffiti pretty poorly, black and white screen

Using the Visor Edge
It's very important that you know Graffiti and know it well, because this will not just imagine what you're trying to say and fill in the blanks. However, once you get past the initial discomfort of learning an...

Pros: easy to figure out, cheap, too cool
Cons: snap on cover blows

I have kept a casual eye on the haldheld pc thing for about a year now. I've only been what I would call a heavy pc user for the last 3 years. And the more I used a pc the more the idea of a handheld appealed to me. Once the prices began to fall to a...

Pros: It is sleek, nicely designed, faster, expandable (expansion slot), usable (Palm OS software), and portable
Cons: It's really expensive for what you're getting and the expansion slot is a pain

When you first see it's picture, you think "Wow, how good would I look holding one of those". It's true too, it is very stylish, and I would even venture to say that it is the best-looking PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) on the market. But is it worth...

Pros: Cheap, lightweight, Palm compatible
Cons: Cheap, system has limitations, monochrome screen

As the resident office computer nerd, when my boss wanted a PDA I had to evaluate those out there. My own preference was for the HP 540 series. Windows compatibility was a major plus. But he wanted something that he could carry in his shirt pocket and...

Pros: slim, good looking, powerful and rugged, filp cover
Cons: no springboard, discontinued, stylus can rattle a bit in it´s holster.

I´ve only owned this palm unit, but comparing it to other ones I´ve used I´d say the edge is really nice.

it´s fast at 33 MHz, never had any problems with mine except for one hang while playing tetris that required me to do a hard reboot. the...

Pros: Inexpensive, expandable
Cons: Memory loss if batteries die

I've now owned my Visor for 6 months, and I am totally satisfied with it. The expansion slot is the main reason I recommend this PDA over a Palm unit. 2 MB memory isn't much, but again, with the slot you can always add more. Or simply go with the...

Pros: I wish I knew
Cons: TERRIBLE tech support

Hard work usually pays later!
Procrastination does pay now.

In my case the visor edge was like a no edge sword. This was my third visor but my first edge (other two were stolen). Maybe the edge was victim of a couple of static discharges...

Pros: Expandable
Cons: Only 2MB of memory (deluxe version has 8MB)

I recently purchased this product to use as an organizer. Anyone who buys it can benefit from using it. It helps to keep your schedule on track and you can also play games, read books, etc. I choose this product over a PalmIIIe because it is...

Pros: Fun, Great to have around
Cons: only has like 5 different colors

I have been doing my research on PDAs and i have found many i like and dislike. the handspring has Everything you need to organize your life. the Visor is fast, functional and user-friendly, A cinch to navigate, Visor handheld gives you instant access...

Pros: Very affordable, reliable, simple to use
Cons: Personally none

I've had very little trouble with mine. I've had some problems with hotsyncing on Windows 2000, but none since I went to USB built-in on the motherboard. I've also had a couple of problems hotsyncing with a serial cradle in Windows NT. A reboot always...

Pros: Spring board expansion; user friendly
Cons: Not enough memory

I bought this product to take class notes on. I found this product to be semi-efficient for this use. The problem that I found with it is that you can not draw good notes. In order to draw with a normal size writing area you have to buy a $200 expansion....

Pros: The visor edge is very user friendly, and syncs easily.
Cons: The small screws that hold the unit together fall out often. Seems cheaply made.

I purchased the visor edge a year ago, had to receive two replacements within the first two months d ...

Pros: simple, easy to use, nice screen, expandable out of the box!
Cons: none at all

Many will say to get a palm instead of getting a Handspring. I used to have a palm pilot 3xe. I mwill never go near another palm pilot again! The screen on my palm was very hard to read and was somewhat blurry. This Handspring I got was simple and many...

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...
