I bought my Handspring Visor in the summer of 2000, when they had been around for a year or so, and overall have found it to be a valuable asset. The unit looks a little dated now (Jan 2002), due to the frightening pace the computer market moves at. It is fairly weighty too, but not enough to make you notice it too much in the pocket of a ...  Read the complete review

I was in search of a tool to replace my DayTimer due to lack of space on my desk. My husband purchased the Handspring Visor for me for Christmas. I was hesitant to place all of my important appointments in a computer based product (we all know the rates of failure). I took the plunge and have not looked back. My husband found this product ...  Read the complete review

Well, I think that if you are seriously considering getting a handheld computer, and your pockets aren't bulging with £50 notes, then I recommend the Handspring Visor Graphite.

I bought my Visor deLuxe a couple of weeks ago and although it has been a godsend in terms of me remembering appointments and shopping lists etc and never had a boring moment on public transport, one thing should be noted: It cannot be set up to syncronise with your work pc if you are on a protected network, using anything below Windows 98.

Also, the Solo is about £60 cheaper in most retail ...  Read the complete review

If you want a PDA for the sake of having it. This one really is the coolest in the bunch. Although without a proper keyboard using this for long pieces of work really will take you years. But as a bit of a fancy phone book with cool features buy this. It does cost more than the bog stand phone book but it is a lot cooler. You won't regret it ...  Read the complete review

I ordered my Visor in November last year, and had a friend bring it over from America. I received my Visor Deluxe in early February (in my opinion, the other lesser modelsare not really worthwhile) I have found it to be excellent. Although I do not (yet) have any of the Springboard modules, more interesting ones such as mobile phone, MP3 players, ...  Read the complete review

well the slightly transparent covering didn't really give this a proffssional look. But I did feel cool messing with it on the bus. It had a lot of useful functions which i couldn't bore of. The screen was almost always clear and easy to read which was a disadvantage for other products in it's class. at first I foud it difficult to ...  Read the complete review

Although I don't have one of these myself and have to scrape by with a series V (ahhhh) I have had a go on a friend of mines and can report that they are indeed excellent. What they seem to have done is take a step back from the PDA market taken the best of what is there and then added bits to make it better. It has the ...  Read the complete review
