Editorial Reviews:

The Handspring Visor handheld is the original expandable handheld computer that lets you instantly turn an organizer into a digital camera, music player, or even a phone. It comes with a sufficient amount of RAM so you have plenty of room to store all your addresses and appointments. But what makes it really special is its unique Springboard expansion slot, which lets you snap in a wide range of hardware and software modules and turn your Visor into whatever you want it to be. Best of all, it's plug-and-play so there are no drivers to load. Just snap in a module and it works!

Summary: Replaced 2003 Handspring PDA
Comment: I ordered a new Handspring PDA, because the one that I had used for about 5 years contained my life in addresses and past appointments. I checked Best But, etc., but no PDA's were compatible with the Handspring cradle necessary to transfer the desktop info into the handheld. The new one arrived before it was promised, was still in its unopened box, and was exactly what I needed. The Handspring USB connection to the handheld is occasionally problematic, but with the new software that came with the PDA, I just reload whenever necessary. I would not hesitate a second to do business with this provider in the future.

Summary: Inexpensive PDA for someone who wants somethign simple.
Comment: This PDA is great for the user who doesn't need all the fancy features and superfluous accessories and gadgets and functions that may make a PDA seem too cluttered. It includes the basic features like memo, to-do, contacts, calendar, calculator, etc. It is light and MAY include a keyboard that allows the user to type long memos or appointments quickly. It uses AAA batteries which avoids having those wires and cords for recharging which may take a while for other PDAs.

Summary: MY FIRST PDA
Comment: This was my pest pda i ever got o and you HAVE to back up alot it WILL die and you have to leave the batters out for about an hour put new batts can put olds the net day thought but you WILL lose all your data so back up outher wise you will have nothing.I gave it 5 stars because it has never has compleatly died on me. Like this coputer or my outher palms.My grandafather gave me this one because he got a blue one with 6 mgs of ram.Also it uses AAAs so I dont have to buy the recharble batts that are about 40.99 and amost caust as almost as much as the pda.I us Ni-cd Ni-mh AAAs because I can recharge tham and they are not 40.99 for a batt that will only last about a year.

Summary: Terrible experience with my Visor...
Comment: I had the same problem that reviewer Mr. McCoy had. I recieved my Visor and it came with batteries. I turned it on and at some point during the setup process the Visor shut down. When I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't. Resets (soft and hard) did nothing. I changed out the batteries with brand new ones. The Visor came on and within half an hour, it shut down again. Not allowing the SAME batteries to be used. I went through 3 sets of brand new batteries and this happened every time. The longest my Visor has stayed on has been 30 minutes or less.

I also had a problem where I would turn it on and then turn it off. Once it was turned off, I couldn't use the same batteries again. It wouldn't turn back on until I used a new set. I have heard many many people have the same kind of issue with this and the best thing I can say, is listen to the people who are encountering this kind of problem. They are not alone with this issue!! There appears to be a flaw in a bulk amount of these Visors.

Summary: Data Lost Twice; doesn't want it's batteries changed
Comment: I was so happy to see that I wasn't the only person who had problems with this device. I love it's capabilities, but have lost data twice: first time I received a change battery warning, so changed batteries, and zap! everything gone.Contacted Handspring, (what a messy website)and lots of words came back, but were they really listening? Second time, I decided to replace batteries long before they needed it, just in case. Data gone. I did the change very fast, less than a minute as advised. I want a refund/repair or new device, but can't really get through to them. I've cooled down somewhat (they depend on that, I imagine) but surprise! I'm buying a new PDA, and it won't be one of theirs! Here I am, researching other brands.
