HANDSPRING VISOR EDGE : A PDA That Packs A Punch

byphineaskc Apr 11, 2001
216 Helpfuls 217 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros rechargable unit; thin, lightweight design; keeps me organized
Cons grayscale display; expensive modules
Recommended it? Yes

I have always liked being the first kid on the block with a new toy and as an adult, nothing has changed. If it's a new digital camera with features never seen before then you can bet I am trying to sell my old one so I can buy the newest model. Because of my addiction to gadgets and gizmos, I have...

Edging Out the Other New Palms

byquasar Apr 13, 2001
130 Helpfuls 131 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros slim, 33MHz, nice fairly large screen, can use existing Springboard modules
Cons bad IR placement, inverted backlight, yet another new connector, module for Springboards...
Recommended it? Yes

I've now had the opportunity to see and use all four new Palms - The m500, m505, Kyocera Smartphone, and the Visor Edge. None of them are the perfect Palm, or even worthy of an "Oh my god, this is cool!" exclamation (although the Smartphone comes close), but of the four I find myself preferring the...

Why you should buy it, Or shouldnt you? The spring board!

byPGenocide Oct 25, 2000
72 Helpfuls 73 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap. Reliable, Lots of memory
Cons Not as functional as CE, not color screen
Recommended it? Yes

At first, its hard to tell the Visor Deluxe from the Palm III series of handhelds. Because these little computers use the latest version of the Palm OS, they are alike in more ways than just looks. They are similarly easy to use and offer the same familiar apps, including Address Book, To Do List,... Read full review »

It's Keen, And You'll Get A Charge Out Of It! Viewed 1,508 Times!

Pros versatile, thin and light
Cons backlight stopped working right away
Recommended it? No

Several factors recently came together that lead to my purchase of a PDA. Mainly -- I decided there were enough situations in my life where I needed info at my fingertips -- notepads, pens, and clipboards were no longer cutting it.

I already had a laptop at home, but there were situations... Read full review »

Substance With Sizzle

byRichBoston Apr 4, 2001
92 Helpfuls 93 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Thin, lightweight, metal case, USB interface.
Cons No flash memory (thus not upgradeable to Palm 4.0) and no wireless internet.
Recommended it? Yes

For those who have read my other PDA reviews you know that I have remained faithful to the Palm OS and my trusty Palm IIIxe in particular. First and foremost what I want in a PDA is an organizer/ scheduler that makes my life easier. I don?t necessarily want an MP3 built in, nor do I want to make... Read full review »

Visor versus Palm

bykmahesh Oct 11, 1999
56 Helpfuls 57 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great design, expansion capabilities, priced attractively
Cons New to the market
Recommended it? Yes

I had the opportunity to play with a Handspring visor deluxe unit to run some compatibility tests for Palm apps that we create at my workplace. Having been a Palm user for some time now and working on the platform, I was very impressed with the Visor's capabilities and design.

First, if... Read full review »

When is the clone better than the original?

bystevelarrison Nov 4, 2000
55 Helpfuls 56 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Expandible, ultra portable
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

OK, first off, let me state that I did not buy this so that I could use a PDA. I am not the type who keeps activity calendars, to-do lists, or anything of that matter as a normal practice. The only reason I bought a PDA was because as a software developer, I realize this is an important platform... Read full review »

Spring Arrives

byNedM Nov 18, 1999
49 Helpfuls 50 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros expandability, compatibility with dominant PDA operating system
Cons catching customer service up with order volume
Recommended it? Yes

Handspring has come out of the gate with two competitors to Palm Computing's big sellers. The Visor Deluxe matches up mostly against the Palm V (even moreso now that Palm has dropped its prices to approach the Visor's) and the Visor compares loosely with the Palm III. If you want to hear about the... Read full review »

I wanted to like it...

bybdaniel Apr 9, 2001

Pros A thin handspring with a backwards compatible expansion solution
Cons Stylus rattles, IR port in a poor location
Recommended it? No

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.

Somehow, the Edge's best feature, it's... Read full review »

Handspring Visor: Probably the best choice in its class

byahwilliams Dec 6, 2000
36 Helpfuls 37 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Expansion slot
Cons Loses points for looks
Recommended it? Yes

The Visor is the simplest of handspring's line of PDAs. While it may be the simplest it is by no means simple, it can hold its own against any of the Palm OS PDAs. This device rates a strong buy recommendation from myself and the people I have installed them for.
