The Need For Speed???

by RichBoston Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 20 '00
Pros: Faster for specific applications
Cons: $50 more than the Visor Deluxe
Having recently used both the new Visor Prism and Visor Platinum I’m just sorry that I didn’t use the Platinum first. as it seems difficult to go back to a monochrome screen.

Don’t get me wrong, this screen is equal to the Visor Deluxe which...

Pros: Fast, lots of memory, keeps me organized, and I got mine free!

For my one hundredth epinion on this wonderful site, I thought I'd step away from the medical topics and tackle, my new "toy." Although, I'm sure I'll return to medicine in the end!!

OK, Before you think that I have some cool way to get this...

Why Would I Buy One If I Couldn't Recommend It?

by davekris , Sep 01 '01
Pros: speed, great screen, battery life, expandability
Cons: screen isn't color, but that's pretty much all
This is my second device with the Palm OS. I purchased
a Palm Pilot Professional in 1997, and it had lasted me
until now. So I definitely wanted a winner for my second
purchase.

Actually, the reason I had to upgrade was...

The whole world in your hand

Pros: Many. Durable, quick, powerful, expandable.

I am familiar with a variety of different models of handheld PDAs, having used them in my job, and selected the Handspring Visor Platinum for personal use for a number of reasons. This very fast device has 8MB of memory, is loaded with the...

Blows Palm Pilot Away!!

by jasonjrup , Dec 06 '00
Pros: Speed, Palm OS, Ease of use, Expansion Slot
Cons: Colourless display
Sure its more expensive than the Visor Deluxe, but the added speed is a welcome improvement and is well worth the price. The one thing that kept me away from the Palm Pilot is the need to pull it apart to make any upgrades, but I have always preferred...

Great for the hardware hungry PDA users

by larsensimon , Feb 12 '01
Pros: Speed, speed, speed and speed.
Cons: No flash RAM (BIG minus).
This is my second PDA. My first one was a Palm IIIx, which I had for about one year. But as any serius Palm (or any other PDA) user knows, your need tend to grow as you use your Palm.

My first need was to recieve e-mails on the go. So I went...

For an extra $50 it's worth it!

by webular , Jan 07 '01
Pros: Fast, sleek, many practical applications, modules to upgrade memory, modules for extending capabilities
Cons: Can't upgrade OS and screens scratch easy
If you are like many people looking at the Visor Platinum versus the Visor Deluxe, without a doubt, I would recommend you get the Platinum!

The unit is only $50 more than the deluxe, and features 2 main key points:

1) Upgraded O.S....

It’s Not A Palm, It’s A Handspring

by LBRG , Sep 10 '01
Pros: light-weight, fast processor, lots of RAM, expandable

Not-So-Great Product, Great Service

by knitterb , Jun 10 '01
Pros: What a neat little toy!
Cons: Crashes my Handspring all the time.
This is a nice little compact product, but it sure crashes my Handspring a lot.

This is a review for the modem hardware product that the Omnisky people provide, not for the service they provide. For the service they provide, please see my...
