Handspring Visor Pro Handheld

Pros: Springboard slot, Palm OS, 16 MB of memory, older Visor accessories fit
Cons: Bulkier than other Palm units, Springboards expensive, design same since Visor creation.

As I write this, a good analogy popped up while reading mkaresh's 2002 Camry epinion. I couldn't help but think of Handspring's latest entry into the market as plain vanilla in the Palm OS hardware world. This isn't to say that the Visor Pro isn't...

Pros: 16MB built in memory, Rechargeable battery, Springboard slot
Cons: Dated design, Springboard slot

The Handspring Visor line has been one of the most successful PDAs ever. Period. Building on the Success of Palm OS, Handspring was an innovator when the Visor was launched about 2 years ago. Since then, they have slipped, in providing new products with...

Pros: 16MB RAM, Springboard expansion slot, price
Cons: Bulky

Pros: 16MB, infinite expandability, affordable and rechargeable.

For those who have addresses, appointments, contacts, to do lists, memos and many more to organize your priorities, it’s ideal for them to invest on a PDA. For professionals who are always on the run, have appointments and the organization of the agenda...

Pros: Springboard expansion, 16MB, faster processor
Cons: Bulky, pricey

SUMMARY: Among Handspring devices, the Pro is a clear, though pricey, winner if you need to use the Springport expansion slot.

I traded in my Sony Clie to get a Handspring because I knew I wanted to use the 802.11b card that just came out...

Pros: More memory than I know what to do with and an attractive platinum case
Cons: None

I recently purchased a Visor Pro as an upgrade from my Visor 2MB that I purchased a year ago. Let me just say that it was one of the best electronics purchases I have ever made!

I keep a great deal of addresses and memos, as well as an...

Pros: Highly expandable to different uses, good size and weight, many 3rd party application support
Cons: Wish I had it sooner

i've had the visor pro for 2 months now and really love it. one of the great features of the visor product line is their expandability. it can become more than an organizer because of the springboard slot. no other PDA or palm PC can offer that!
...

Cons: Same old Palm Backlight, few included applications, Palm OS 3.5, no Leather Case.

I don't know about you, but my problem with any Palm OS-based PDA has been the same - I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR ALL THE COOL APPS I WANT TO LOAD! Well that fundamental Palm shortcoming is removed with the Visor Pro. Everything else about the Visor Pro...

Pros: Huge memory, rechargeable, fast processor. GREAT price.
Cons: More bulky than some handhelds

My first Visor was a Platinum and I loved it. The fast Dragonball processor and 8 meg of RAM were well suited to my needs as a student. It kept all my data at my fingertips and was fun to use. I had the flexibility to use it with Outlook and coordinate...

Pros: Rechargeable battery, 16MB RAM, Springboard expansion slot.
Cons: Rechargeable battery is not removeable, No DC-in port, Poor screen cover.

When I first recieved my Visor Pro, I eagerly tore off the packaging, grabbed the Visor... and waited. The battery comes discharged, and when you first open the package, you have to wait for the battery to charge up before you can put it through it's...

Pros: 16MB!! expansion capabilities, freebies from Handspring web site.
Cons: thicker than average Handspring, cover IS useless, hard to find modules at local stores

Bought my Handspring Visor Pro in June 2002. I shopped around for about three weeks, checking prices, checking capabilities. What I was really looking for was an e-book reader, but for the price, I figured I might as well get some sort of PDA. My sister...

Pros: Cheap, Lots of memory.
Cons: kind of bulky, light drains battery, AAAs only.

The Visor Pro is a good handheld for those on a budget. It is durable and has lots of memory. Many software apps and game are available, many from right off of the Handspring website. The Springboard Slot lets you turn it into everything from a Cell...

Pros: Rechargable Battery, 16 MB, Palm OS, Familiar Design
Cons: Slightly bulkier than other models.

The Visor Pro makes the jump to 16 MB. Due to the limitations of Add on Memory this is quite significant. If you plan on using your pda as a repository of databases or lots of raw data the bump to 16 MB will give you a little breathing room. The other...

Pros: 16Mb Main Memory, rechargable battery, Palm OS, Springboard modules.
Cons: Design could be better, plastic casing, un-handy protective cover.

This brand new device is not brand new on all it's features. The casing is a bit outdated and the system software is not the latest version either.
Is this bad? I'd say no. The 3.5 version of the software is very stable and it's working perfect with...
