I just have to send the old one back. Incredibly fast, efficient and wonderful service. Not only does Handspring have a great product, their service has ensured I stay a loyal customer. ...more

I have been a diehard Handspring user since they were 1st available. Terrible but true, it is my portable brain and I am lost without it. Imagine my horror when, 3 days before a big meeting, the Visor fell off the desk, onto the floor and the LCD cracked. (Fair disclosure, it wasn't in its case, I had just synched it and sat it on top of some paperwork). I called Handspring and was told to hot synch it again and for $80 I could have the screen replaced. Ouch, lots to pay for a moment of carelessness, but what else to do? I later found out that if a screen is cracked on a Palm its toast, so I was very happy that the screen could be replaced. I called to get ...  Read the complete review

About nine months ago I decided I needed a PDA. Well I had two options: A palm or a visor... I wasn't going to consider the other makes from HP, Compaq, Sony etc because they were just too power hungry. I decided to buy the Handsprung Visor over the Palm because it had an expansion slot (The expansion modules never seemed to take off, so that wont be a serious consideration today) and all the advantages of the palm for just about £20 more. Well, since I bought it it has been pretty useful. I have all my addresses, appointments, expenses, and other useful notes and memos on this PDA. Now I never forget birthdays of friends or family!!

Crowned Review Handspring Visor Deluxe: A Great Compromise (1396 words)
by - written on 26/12/01 (Very useful, 414 readings)
Rating:

I’ve been an owner of some form of hand-held computer for almost a year and a half now. I started with a Palm IIIe, which was a simple, 2Mb model with a monochrome screen. I used it almost constantly and quickly came to rely on it as a calendar, calculator, notepad, clock, entertainment tool, etc. When the Palm developed a fault, I got it repaired under warranty. When it was stood on and smashed, I was devastated. As soon as I could afford to, I replaced it. I wrestled with myself for a while as to what the replacement would be, then, foolishly, turned my back on the Palm platform and went for a Journada running Windows CE. I had the Journada ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Not quite as good as a Palm  (372 words)

I have been a Palm III owner for 2 years until I finally damaged it beyond repair. Being entirely dependent on my PDA I quickly rushed out and bought a replacement. Based on some good feedback I decided to purchase a Handspring Visor Deluxe. It had more memory than may Palm III (8mb versus 2MB) and was slightly better value for money than the 8mb Palm devices. Plus the device comes in a number of colours ? yes I?m that fickle! Aside from the extra memory and the more modern design, the handspring can accept what are called ?Springboard? modules. This means you can slot in accessories such as digital cameras, MP3 players, GSM modems, games, or even more memory ? ...  Read the complete review

Although getting on a bit now, the Visor Deluxe still stands out as being a great PDA. It is small enough to carry around in a pocket, stylish enough to be seen using and comes with the added bonus of using the Palm OS. I have a number of uses. I store names and addresses, I write e-mails (more later..) and most recently, connect up to Avantgo and download all the days news to read on the train on the way to work...beats fiddling about with papers! On the downside, I think that the battery life could be better, annoyingly, it uses batteries even when turned off! Another annoyance is trying to connect to my mobile phone (Nokia 6210) using the ...  Read the complete review
