The Handspring Visor Deluxe is the first expandable handheld computer that lets you instantly turn an organizer into a digital camera, music player, or even a phone. It comes with 8 MB of RAM, so you have more than enough room to store all your data, plus a myriad of other programs and information. Plus, it features the amazing Springboard expansion slot, so you can snap in a wide range of hardware and software modules and turn your Visor into whatever you want it to be. Moreover, it is plug-and-play so there are no drivers to load. Just snap in a module and it works! It even comes in five great colors - ice, graphite, blue, orange, and green - so you are sure to find one that suits your style, personality, or mood.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: In its day...it was on top. Comment: I have had my Handspring Visor Deluxe for 5...yes, FIVE years (actually longer). While I take decent care of it, it has taken care of me. My doctor has one too...exactly like mine and we often talk about how perhaps they should be replaced, but the darn thing is still working great and does everything we need it to. I finally ordered a new PDA with all the capabilities of my laptop and am passing this one on to someone else who needs it. (I'm not selling it...good karma)
Down to business - the Handspring Visor Deluxe is not the creme de la creme anymore. But in its day it was. Great product and if you don't need the bells and whistles (or color display)...go for this. Totally flawless. People often complain about the styli of other PDAs. No complaints here. Not only is it relatively comfortable, it is stainless tipped with plastic on both ends (doesn't break) and it stays securely in place when you store it in the device. I literally lost my ORIGINAL stylus just a few days ago.
The display is not as easy to read as the new super crisp glossy screens that are out now, but if you need a basic device with a few bells and whistles that are thrown in for fun (heck, a good deal of the new ones don't have IR)... go for it. And for the price I just saw it listed for on Amazon ($85) it's a total steal. Great product. Customer Rating: Summary: Faulty machines and sellers Comment: I ordered my first electronic organizer and was very disappointed that I couldn't get it synced with my computer. (and neither could any of my computer friends or anyone at handspring) Then it stopped holding data all together and I sent it back to the Richard Weize who has not refunded my money (it has been four months). Customer Rating: Summary: Great, but why not a better display Comment: I use my Visor all the time- I wear it on my belt - I use the add on module area to carry pills in. Love the thing EXCEPT:
The display stinks - All of the PDAs have really lousy displays - NO I don't want color - I want better contrast ratio and get rid of the glare! I'd pay more for a better display (throw a bit more RAM in at the same time.) The Glare is so bad that someone wrote a program that blacks out the screen so you can use it as a Mirror!
One other tip - I find that the pen point of the optional pen stylus works better than the stylus that comes wit it - requires much less pressure and does not scratch it. Just throw the stylus cover away.
Customer Rating: Summary: Handspring is just plain better Comment: We sell PDA's where I work, and I have customers who come back all the time to give me feedback on how they like their PDA's. The majority of the people who purchase a Visor absolutely love it. I, personally, own a Visor Deluxe. I feel that the Visor is the best PDA for the price. The price has dropped from around $250 in a month or so. My favorite feature (albeit small) is the cover. I'm not a big fan of the covers on the Palm 3 series. I like how the Visor's covers can be taken off completely. This also makes it better when buying a case. Because of the unique design, there is no need for any adhesive. It's hard to explain, you'd have to see it...but trust me, it's much easier. Customer Rating: Summary: A Must Have! Comment: I received my Handspring Visor Deluxe today and it is so easy to use. I have already memorized the Graffiti. Hotsyncing is also really easy and extremely fast! Get it NOW. You won't regret it. It is a great deal. The slim leather case is normally around $25. You can't get much better than that. Some people say the slim leather case makes it look bulky. It is not bulky at all to me. If you want to see bulky, take a look at the oldest laptop there is. It is the best. You name it, it can probably do it. This is a great product especially if you want to be organized. Great job Handspring!
