Handspring Visor Edge Handheld

Pros: Expandable, Mac compatible, USB ready
Cons: Not enough modules (yet)

I'm the kind of person that is completely disorganized. I've bought multiple DayRunner planners and used them to no avail. I use them for about a week and then I get lazy and stop writing in them.

Enter, the Handspring Visor.

I...

Pros: cheaper!
Cons: looks

I accidently sat on my palm pilot an impaled it on the leg of my chair. This was the alternative that was suggested, and I've never been happier about breaking something. I was able to order it directly from thier site. It arrived the next day. It...

Pros: cheap, reliable
Cons: only 2MG of memory

By now, almost everyone has a PDA. People call them “external brains”. And the things are pretty useful. Whether you ar e going to be putting your notes into them, or your anniversary so as not to get killed by the wife, or even if you just want to...

Pros: cheaper then palm, addon capabilities , crisper screen
Cons: need to buy directly from the manufacturer

The Handspring visor is a great pick for anyone who loves technology. I first heard about it a few months ago when I was considering getting a palm pilot. The feature that I was more interested in was its capability for “springboard” modules that added...

Pros: Springboards
Cons: none

This PDA is one of the best on the market. It should and probably will beat out the palm in sales next year. The reason for this would be the so called "springboards". These small devices plug into the expansion slot on the back of the PDA...

Pros: Form factor. Function. Springboard Slot
Cons: Not rechargeable. Not wireless (yet)

I received a Handspring Visor Deluxe as an anniversary gift a few weeks ago. Since then I've used it every day, for everything from driving directions, to phone numbers, to games.

I was unimpressed when my friends originally got...

Pros: Great Device at a better price
Cons: Long wait to speak to tech support and to get one.

The main problem with the Handspring is you cannot get one. Right now demand is far more than supply and you have to wait 6 weeks after you order to get a Handspring. It is a great looking device and it has added some nice...

Pros: SpringBoard slot for expandibility
Cons: Basic model doesn't include HotSync cradle.

The Visor runs the best hand held operating system available, Palm OS, which give you access to the largest pool of mobile applications available; but don't rush to buy one just because of the low price tag. Think first! The basic visor does not...

Pros: Expandable and Cheap
Cons: Low quality and therefore unpredictable..Terrible customer support after PDA was bought

I originally bought the handspring visor because of two things: Expandability and price. The first part being the most important...I thought, and still do, that expandability of a PDA is the future...And Handspring seemed to have a grasp of that...And...

Pros: Inexpensive and works great
Cons: Made me wonder how I did without it

This is my first PDA. I wanted to spend as little as possible to see if I would like and use one, and the Visor was very inexpensive. It came in a week - which is quick considering the backlogs you hear about from others ordering from Handspring.
...

Pros: Springboard, screen, RAM, grafitti, colors.
Cons: no wireless connectivity

When I first bought the Visor, I was very impressed. It is a great blue color, matching my computers. It comes with 2 megs of RAM, Palm OS 3, a fast processor, and, of course, the springboard. It has a brighter screen than the Palm IIIx. Its grafitti...

Pros: A thin handspring with a backwards compatible expansion solution
Cons: Stylus rattles, IR port in a poor location

I was excited to see a true competitor to the Palm Vx, and I really wanted to fall in love with the Edge, but the truth is, I was disappointed as soon as I opened the box, and after three weeks, that nagging feeling of disappointment is still here....

Pros: power and speed
Cons: none

Handspring borrowed some ideas from Palm V and Compaq iPaq Pocket PC. Now it has it's own niche in the handheld market.

The aluminum comes in a choice of colors. They are silver, red, and blue. It has the same Dragonball VZ 33 MHz...

Pros: Thinness, Aluminum Shell, Handspring+ Apps, Rechargable Battery, Tiny USB Cradle
Cons: 8MB of Storage, Backlight Poor for Twilight

The Handspring Edge's thin look and feel qualifies this PDA as unique on the market today.

Palms [the Handspring Edge is a Palm] are wonderful PDAs: they're great for managing your addresses, contacts, and short notes in a small portable...

Pros: lightweight, fast, user-friendly, attractive, solid, expandable
Cons: graffiti is more annoying than writing normally, though you eventually get used to it

I have had both the Handspring Visor Edge and Visor Deluxe, and I much prefer the Edge for its full functionality that intermingles the positive points of the Deluxe with the speed, precision, and weight of the edge. As I carry the edge around in its...
