Summary: Handspring - Wow!
Review: Well, I made a vow to myself to at least attempt to stay organized, and what better way to do it than with a Handspring? This little device has everything I need to keep my umpiring assignments, homework assigments, and phone numbers straight...a must have! If you're a naturally disorganized person, buy this! It made me more organized, and that's quite a stretch! I don't go anywhere without it, and I've been relying on AvantGo software to grab the latest news hot off the wire rather than watching the news which, truth be told, I have little time to do anymore. I hit synchronize, hop in the shower, eat breakfast, grab my Handspring, my keys, and I'm off. When I'm bored in class I read the news I got that morning...or play a game of solitare when it looks like I'm working. All in all, the only downside I've seen to this is the difficulty entering text...I've gotten quite good with graffiti shorthand but for others it's tough without the Targus or LandWare keyboard, both available for a nominal cost. Two different modems are also available to make your Visor completely independent. What more could you ask for in an organizer?

Review: I just recently recieved my Palm Handspring and I must say that I absolutely love it. I am a college student and it works well for anything that I need. It's a must buy for a busy person or a gadget guru.

Summary: Great way to avoid Win CE Devices
Review: Normaly I purchase only Win CE (or Pocket PC) devices. I currently use a Pocket PC (replaced my daytimer) and an HP 690 (when I need to compose letters or lengthy e-mail on the move). However, with these devices comes an inherent level of complexity (especially when synching multiple devices) with the actual OS and applications.My wife wanted a handheld device to essentially act as a daytimer. Rather than forcing her into the MS Operating system, and risking the possibility that she may not like the complexity, I managed to convince her that the Palm OS was a better route (simplicity). Ultimately we chose the Visor Deluxe. Installation was incredibly simple. The instructions are easy and to the point. Whats more, she took to the device immediately. In fact, she will not put it down. So, if you are shopping for a gift for someone who may not appreciate the inherent hazards of Win CE devices, go with the Visor. Its the best value for your dollar (the 8mb Version).

Summary: giving Palm Pilot a run for the money
Review: Palm Pilots are near impossible to find-although my husband managed to get one a few months ago. The Visor works EXACTLY the same as Palm Pilot (same O.S. which is just about idiot proof). Both are great for organizing addresses, datebook etc & it has a calculator (I can't count to save my life). The two are the same in layout, they are almost the same size and are made with similar types of plastic. Palm Pilot does have a nicer cover (swings up on a plastic hinge vs. Handspring's cover that comes off completely) but the two are siblings; 6 of one half a dozen-with a few exceptions-Visor offers a few things Palm doesn't...The Springboard expansion slot opens up some cool possibilities & the Deluxe model comes in your choice of 4 funky colors or the standard "graphite" (black).

Summary: Excellent Product
Review: If you want a cheap Palm OS product, the Visor is it. It's the least expensive and one of the best I've used. Though the Palm VII has a wireless modem built-in, Minstrel is gearing up to release a wireless modem for the Visor that gives you the entire Net, not just the couple hundred web sites Palm.Net gives you. And there are already two Springboard landline modems out there. The Springboard port gives the Visor a major advantage over normal Palms, which have addons take up the HotSync port on the bottom - and make the machine much bigger. All in all, it's a great system. Have fun with it!

Summary: Couldn't live without it
Review: I love my Visor, and find myself complete unprepared for conducting business without it. One minor complaint was that it began acting funky (unexpected resets) about three weeks ago, but Handspring rush out a replacement to me Next Day Air and all seems better.

Summary: Windows 95 Users read this!
Review: I ordered this product and it's great - however, if you have Windows 95 you HAVE to buy the serial cradle separately to use the sync capabilities. I didn't want to invest another $30 on top of the cost of the PDA since this is really a "toy" for me. The product seems great, and easy to use, but beware on the sync for Win 95.

Summary: OUTLOOK USERS: Don't buy Pocket Mirror separately!
Review: It comes with your Visor on the CD-ROM. It doesn't get automatically installed. You'll have to manually install it, but it doesn't say so in the instructions or during the initial installation.

Summary: The better brain I always wanted
Review: I used to write about 200 posty-notes a week, with phone numbers, dates, tracking numbers, and reminders. They somehow ALL ENDED UP IN MY POCKET. This is bad news when wash-time comes around. I'm reputable for having the worst long-term memory for non-conceptual data of anyone, and having all my notes turned regularly into a pile of yellow mush doesn't help anyone. So naturally, this thing has been one of my most usefull items. Anybody who fills notebooks with random numbers and then can't remember what the heck they were for needs one of these! It's not very expensive, you can put a couple of games on it, you can upgrade it with those little module thingies, and despite what one of the other reviews have said (about it being cheap plastic), this thing is holding up under some pretty heavy wear without a dint.
