Handspring Visor Deluxe Reviews

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Which PDA to buy? An agonising choice. Also not, I’m sorry to say, a choice I’m going to be able to help you with very much. Like most people, I’ve just got one PDA, and until I dig up the pot of gold I wouldn’t expect to buy any more for quite a while. However, I can tell you a bit about the one I do have, as I did ...

Key Features: 8Mb memory, Springboard, five colours, USB docking cradle for PC or Mac, Palm OS 3.1, Monochrome reverse-lit screen, 2xAAA batteries giving two weeks typical use The Palm OS makes it's way into another pair of hands Transformers fascinated me as a kid. You started out with a little toy car, then with a few canny ...

I've come across a lot of Handhelds and PDA's in my time, but I have to say, this is one of the best value-for-money handheld computers that I have ever seen. It is worth every single penny, with the Springboard Expansion Slot, the built-in microphone and 8MB of memory. This is quite simply, one of the best PDA's in the world. And at ...

You may think that you don't need a PDA, but the truth is that you do. And you don't need just any old piece of tat - you need a Handspring Visor Deluxe. I bought mine a few months ago (December 2000), and I don't regret it. It's such a versatile little thing, and it looks so cool - I chose the frosted orange one. Of course, ...

The new Handspring Visor Deluxe provides an alternative option for a market that runs on the Palm OS. This takes the strengths of the Palm OS and adds a stylish case, USB HotSync cradle, improved applications, and an innovative expansion method in the form of the springboard slot. The Visor Deluxe model comes in five colours: ice, green, ...

What's that blue thing you're holding? is the response of most people when they see you scribling away on a little blue piece of perspex. When you tell that that you're putting an appointment into your diary, or sending an sms message, or surfing the internet, or playing a game, or checking you're e-mail... they might just laugh ...

I've bought the new handspring visor deluxe and it worth every penny. It has everything the 3com has and then some. The interface is easy to understand, the enhanced calendar option is very useful, and it is actually lighter than the Palm. This one is for everyone, from the board member to the gadget freak. The only downside is that it is a ...

I was recommended to purchase a Handspring Visor Deluxe by a friend in the electronics industry, and have not looked back since. I use mine to keep my life in order, from the office to the playing field, everything gets entered. Getting connected is a absolute doddle, with the USB connected cradle plugging straight in to the back of my Windows 98 ...

This gadget beats any other I have bought. At £170 in Duty Free in Dixons at any Airport (the cheapest place I found in the UK), it has been worth every penny. My first PDA since one of the first Amstrad handwriting recognition system, I love its operating system, writing is easy once you have learnt how to write in its Graffiti style. ...

You can instead opt for this brand of handheld device if you are thinking of getting a Palm III models. This superb personal organiser can be used as a music player, a wireless modem and even a pager through the Springboard expansion slot. Which means it can become a small portable handheld computer. It is based on the Palm OS meaning it is ...

I am thoroughly impressed with the Handspring Visor Deluxe from the tiny little touches such as the screwdriver and reset pin built into the stylus right through to high quality build of the unit and the fantastic way that it recognises text that you write. The unit teaches you to write in a very easy format that it can recognise and does away ...

I recently bought a Handspring Visor Deluxe instead of going for a Palm V. The Handspring is slightly larger and bulkier than the Palm and doesn't look quite as sexy but that is the only disadvantage with this product. As has been well documented the two original founders of Palm left to set up Handspring so there is an evident pedigree of ...

I'd consider myself a careful shopper as far as technology is concerned. I spent about 3-4 months researching these Palm based PDA's and came to a few conclusions: Palm (http://www.palm.com)- good but also pricey, serial connector, no 'real' expansion ports. TRGPro- (http://www.trgpro.com) - a nice 8Mb Palm 3 clone ...

really, you can forget everything else. forget birthdays, telephone numbers, web addresses, things to do, things not to do, the Handspring takes care of it all. But forget all the imitators and alikes as well, if you're starting from scratch they're all about the same size (small) and they all do about the same stuff (everything) ...

The Visor is the lovechild of Donna Dubinsky and Jeff Ward the original parents of the PalmPilot, since they flogged the business to 3Com they have setup their own clone company but evolved the Palm into the infinitely expandable Visor. Is it a PDA, is it a TV remote control, is it an MP3 player or is it even a GSM mobile phone? Well it ...
