Pros: Under $200, Springboard, redesigned Platinum, older Visor accessories fit Cons: essentially redesigned Platinum, bulky design, same old Visor design
After writing a review on the Visor Pro, I couldn't help but think of Handspring's other latest entry into the market as more plain vanilla with food coloring in the Palm OS hardware world. This isn't to say that the Visor Neo is a bad device, but that...
Pros: Looks great, zippy speed, good feeling stylus pen. Cons: Not color, may be too bulky/plain for some.
This is my first real hands on experience with a PDA. Of course I've been to places like Best Buy to fiddle with PDAs, but I myself have never owned one. I've been wanting a PDA for a while now and it seemed like a nice gadget with some utility.
...
Pros: Lots of memory, changeable expansion modules, pretty case, great display Cons: Freezes during Solitaire "auto play"; pretty case smudges easily
The Visor Deluxe and the Visor Neo are very similar. I purchased the Neo in a beautiful jewel-tone clear blue after my Deluxe bit the dust (I dropped it on a hard floor, and after that, the screen remained black).
Pros: Springboard slot if you need it, Good Mac support, Handpspring customer service Cons: Outdated design, few strong features, little bang for buck!
Well, it has become clear that Handspring has all but abandoned their Visor line. Having not introduced any truly new units in almost 1.5 years in this line shows you that this may be one of the last Visors around. It sports the same familiar look as the...
Pros: Palm OS, portability, gray-scale screen, expandability, Mac OS compatible Cons: Not color, bulkier than the Edge, could use more memory
I have a hard time keeping organized. I forget appointments, birthdays, and holidays. If it's not written down, I'll probably forget it. I’ve tried paper organizers, but they’re always too bulky for practical use and become disorganized too...
Pros: Most accessories and add-ons, largest monochrome screen available, PalmOS upgrades, excellent expandability. Cons: SLIMY AND SMUDGY! No jog dial, Flash ROM, or rechargable battery. Relatively large form.
Bargain PDA's have the problem that other bargain electronics have: They lack high-end features and they become obsolete faster than more expensive models.
The Handspring Neo is a good way to work around some of these problems. At $200, it's...
Pros: Affordable PDA Cons: No frills, basic unit; bulky; essentially a Visor Platinum
My first Palm unit was a Handspring Visor hand-me-down from my brother, a unit that he got for free after opening an account with an internet bank. I never thought the Visor would be anything more than a nifty little electronic toy that I would someday...
Pros: Affordable, USB, expandable, cool colors Cons: Old school design.
Overview
Since I’ve graduated from university, I had many phone numbers, addresses and appointments to keep, I find that I tend to miss appointments, forget phone numbers and addresses with paper written memos. To make matters worse,...
Pros: Relatively inexpensive, user-friendly, comes with USB port, plenty of software for the amatuer user,large screen. Cons: No charger and doesn't come loaded with any games!
I can't believe it took me so long to get a PDA! I was one of those people that would write information, phone numbers etcetera on scraps of paper, napkins, whatever I could find. Needless to say, my life was truly unorganized. I desperately needed a...
Pros: Inexpensive and functional. Mac-friendly. Large screen. Cons: Not color, not fancy. Boxy design.
The Handspring Neo is a low-end (by 2002 standards) black-and-white handheld that fills that market niche admirably. I bough my Neo to replace a lost Palm IIIe, and I didn't need or want anything fancy. I wanted enough space and speed for Pocket...
Pros: 8 MB RAM, fast(er) processor, very affordable, Springboard Cons: somewhat bulky, outdated OS
I received my Visor Neo as a Christmas gift in December of 2001. At the time, it was a good bargain - $160 for a Palm OS PDA with 8 MB of RAM. Today, the Neo can be purchased for a little over $100, and there are dozens if not hundreds of models which...
Pros: Springboard, Lightweight, Great backlight Cons: A little too big, batteries don't last long
Being my first PDA, I didn't have much to compare the Neo to. However I must say, I have enjoyed the functionality and versatility of this handheld. I have been using it for 4 months now and have never had a problem. I love the different functions,...
Pros: Affordable, Palm OS, Expandable Cons: Fragile Screen, XP issues
In searching for a PDA with plenty of features, decent memory, and the confidence that it wouldn't be outdated in less than a year, I was pleased to learn about the Handspring line of PDA organizers.
Pros: SPRINGBOARD!, large fairly hi-res display, affordable Cons: Bulky/heavy, palm os 3.5, plastic is strange, no LIon bat
The visor neo's screen is the first thing I noticed about it. It is the largest monochrome on the market, and its resolution/contrast is pretty sharp. The batteries are simply AAA's, which I kind of like, since you can find replacements in a pinch....
