4 out of 5 stars Great Palm-O/S handheld!   September 7, 2002
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is a great Palm-O/S based handheld unit. With 16MB of memory it offers plenty of storage; more than most Palm-based units on the market. The USB synchronization and rechargable battery are nice, too. A great device for those who want a 'workhorse' instead of a 'showhorse'. ;-)


2 out of 5 stars Great when working, awful customer support   August 18, 2002
John D. Hyatt (California)
It's my first PDA. As a doctor I use it both for business and personal information. After owning it for about 8 months, the battery would no longer recharge, so I sent it back to handspring. Service was promt and relatively courteous except for one thing...they didn't fix the problem! The unit was returned to me with exactly the same malfunction. Mechanical breakdowns happen, but since the customer support isn't there to back up the product, I won't buy from Handspring again.
To add some more. Finally got the problem fixed, but it recurred two more times. I am now the happy owner of a Sony Clie SJ20...compact, reliable, good screen resolution.



2 out of 5 stars Poor products, poor service   August 1, 2002
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I have had my Visor PRO less than 6 months. The hotsync cradle has had to be replaced once already, and the software crashed and had to be reinstalled.

A friend bought one at the same time, it was a complete lemon. She sent it back to be replaced and went through 3 different models in as many months before she finally gave up and bought another PDA. What a waste of money!

And when you register the product with Handspring, they send you a coupon, with no info on any expiration, but when I tried to use it I was told it expires in 30 days. When I protested that they need to tell you about the 30 day limit when they send you the email, and asked to discuss it with a supervisor, I was ignored and have not been contacted again.

Like many other reviewers, this is the first and last Handspring product I will buy.


1 out of 5 stars Terrible PDA   August 1, 2002
4 out of 6 found this review helpful

I am new to PDA's and I thought that the Handspring Visor Pro was the way to go. Well I was wrong. I had it only two days at it would freez up on me atleast 3 times aday. Plus I thought it was too heavy and the screen color was not too good. So I returned it and bought a Sony Clie T615C. and that is the best. It came with alot more software like it has a program to be able to control all the T.V's, VCR's, and even the souround sound. It also has 64,000+ colors that makes it ver easy to read in almost any lighting conditions. It also comes with a better case to protect the screen. not a plastic one that is not attached to the pda like the pro's. The only thing that bug me a little is that the stylis may fall out if you accidently put it in your pocket upside down. The Sony is also alot easier to move through progams. it has a trun wheel on the side and back button that you can use. I thought that the Visor pro was a piece of junk.


3 out of 5 stars Battery glitch   July 19, 2002
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This is my first PDA and I was happy with it until I could no longer recharge the battery. I exhausted all of the suggestions on Handspring's FAQ page with no improvement. If you buy it, put up the extra money to get the longest warranty you can...you just might need it.
