I Couldn't Tell the Difference

Pros upgradability
Cons price/performance
Recommended it? No

Though I can't say enough about how superior the Handspring products are to the Palm's, when it comes to the Visor Platinum, I just can't tell the difference between it and the Deluxe model. Aside from the obvious silver coated plastic shell, I really couldn't tell the difference in the supposedly... Read full review »

One of the great PDAs

Pros versatile PDA that offers a suite of options outside of address book and daily organizer
Cons still need to use standard batteries
Recommended it? Yes

In looking at the variety of PDAs I was most impressed with the Handspring visor - Platinum. The product provides me the necessary functions required of an organizer and offers additional enhancements that separate it from the competition. I was impressed with the ability to use it as a MP3,... Read full review »

Platinum Power!

Pros Wonderful with EyeModule and AvantGo! Noticeably faster with all apps.
Cons Multifunction Stylus not really functional; No apparent body design improvements
Recommended it? Yes

The Visor Platinum is a prime example of how far Palm Computing has come in such a short time.

I owned an original US Robotics Palm Pilot, which sold me on the Palm OS platform for life. The functionality and ease of use of Palm OS continues to top the competition, IMHO. I also owned a... Read full review »

What a PDA!

Pros Fast, pretty and the PalmOS so easy to use and upgrade!
Cons You replace batteries often. Pricey
Recommended it? Yes

I received one of the Handspring Visors for x-mas this past year. I hadn't had much interest in a PDA and had never really looked into them too much. I ripped open the packaging and slapped the fresh batteris in. I don't think it's been off for more then a few hours since (at night while it's in... Read full review »

Visor Platinum: Worth the extra bucks

Pros Faster than the Deluxe, supports PQAs and Internet browsing with OmniSky
Cons Price
Recommended it? Yes

I upgraded to the Platinum from the Handspring Deluxe that I purchased a year ago in order to be able to install the OmniSky wireless modem. I've been surfing the net wirelessly ever since and absolutely love the duo.

Even if you're looking for an entry-level PDA, I'd recommend going with... Read full review »

Excellent, solid buy--I'd only switch it for the new red Visor Pro!

Pros Sturdy case and strong screen, generous storage capacity
Cons International characters not explained in graffiti guide; adding Targus keyboard sucks up...
Recommended it? Yes

My Handspring Visor was an impulse buy--I was planning a research trip and wanted to avoid bringing my old and heavy laptop with me. I purchased the Visor along with the Visor Backup Module and the Targus Stowaway keyboard. This combination was invaluable.

The Visor has 8MB of storage... Read full review »
