Handspring Visor Edge Handheld

Pros: Powerful, compact, inexpensive, expandable
Cons: None!

After much research into alternatives, my husband purchased a Visor for me for Christmas last year. What a fantastic gift! I was able to quit lugging around my Daytimer for ever! The Visor does everything my Daytimer used to in a super small and...

Pros: It's compact, easy to use, and it's cheap.
Cons: It could use some additional flexibility.

As a web designer and general computer nut, I am often asked for an opinion about a wide variety of computer products, both software and hardware. Recently, a client of mine plopped the Handspring Visor into my lap and told me to set it up and play...

Pros: Great handheld for the price, lots of features and expandability, perfect for anybody
Cons: The basic model doesn't come in the variety of colors, wish there was more software included

Handspring's new Visor, based on 3Com's Palm, is a great new product to the handheld class aimed at consumers (rather than business professionals). And the price perfectly matches its category at $150 for the Visor ($250 for the Visor Deluxe... a little...

Pros: Good price, runs well
Cons: none

Figured I would relate my experience so far with
ordering and receiving my Visor. I ordered a Visor
Deluxe (graphite), serial cradle, and the Visor Stylus
5-Pack, back on October 28th through Handsprings web
ordering system. It gave...

Pros: Simple to use, Fun & MP3 Player add-on
Cons: Case cover but not such a biggie

I got a Visor for a few reasons. The cost was right for an entry-level person and the functions were perfect for me as an entry-level person. I never plan to stuff it full of Games or Programs I can get for a PC so 2MB was enough...I can add the 8MB...

Pros: Affordable, small, useful, chicks dig it
Cons: AAA Battery

It might be true that the Handspring Visor is a great organizational tool for the non-techie, but it is also great for the techie as well. As a certified geek (I read Slashdot(.org) every day and I am currently employed as a Technical Designer), I have...

Pros: Price. USB connection=fast! Palm OS platform.
Cons: Cost of expansions for the springboard. Long wait for delivery.

I shopped feverishly for my PDA. I narrowed it down to Palm OS systems due to price and the open platform (cheap and/or free programs).

Classmates and co-workers seem to all have Palm PDAs. A few friends have Handspring products. So, I...

Pros: affordable connectivity to your contacts
Cons: not fast enough synchronizing

Just got my Handspring and must say that I love it.

I bought this around Christmas to replace my ancient HP pocket organizer and am favorably impressed.

The hook up took about 5 minutes (total). You've got to install the software...

Pros: Low Price, Quick, Convenient
Cons: Bad Case Design, Annoying Cover, Bad placement of IR Port

I've owned my Visor for about 9 months now, and have found it to be quite a nice little gadget. It's my first PDA. I mostly bought it for the sheer "cool" factor of a little computer in my pocket, but scary enough, I've actually found myself...

Pros: Complete Expandability with Springboards, Palm OS based
Cons: No Flash ROM

Previously, the Handspring Visors were only available through the internet, but now as they enter the mainstream retail market, I predict they will take it by storm.
The Visor 2MB is a great introductory level PDA. You may squack at the mere 2MB...

Pros: Simple to operate, low cost, Springboard Expansion slot, IR file swapping
Cons: Not much memory (2mb), stylus is cheap plastic, only comes in black

I purchased this version of the Visor for my wife. This version came with the HotSync Cradle for $179. She needed something to store names and phone numbers, and appointments and reminders. I certainly couldn't see spending upwards of $300 for an...

Pros: Price, ease of use, reliability
Cons: Stylus

I bought the Handspring Visor in February and I don't know how I ever did without it before! I have 2 MB of RAM which has proven MORE THAN SUFFICIENT for carrying around my 900+ addresses, a year's worth of appointment's and to-dos, and even the whole...

Pros: Visor is infinitely expandable, cheaper, uses standard PalmOS
Cons: Bulkier than Palm V, not many expansion boards on market as of now

I recently got a hold of a basic Handspring, and started comparing to my Palm III that I have been using for roughly a year. I took into account the fact that the Handspring was a newer model than my Palm III, but the experience itself was just amazing....

Pros: runs fine. brighter screen than Palm 3
Cons: no flash memory, 8mb module doesn't help much

I agree 100% with the user drdavec1. I just have one more thing to add.

I originally thought that if I get the 2mb version, I could just make it 10mbs by adding the 8mb flash module. Any John Doe out there would have made the same logical...

Pros: Lightweight, affordable, easy to use.
Cons: It isn't the prettiest pda

As the former editor for pdamart I have tried many pdas like the Nino, the Newton, HP, LG and Psion. I had a very hard time finding a pda that I liked enough to pay for it until the Visor.

It is lightweight & sturdy, easy to set up, and...
