...you got some 'splainin' to do...

There is no Honorable Mention for this particular category


What!? What about, oh, er, I dunno, the EDGE?. If you don't want to include it, fine, but at least tell us why not? Seems this little durable wonder deserves at least an honorable mention!!

[VENT]Durable my @$$. I just waited 15 minutes on hold for tech support in order to be told that the digitizer issue is due to RF interference, and that as a preventive measure I should reset at least twice a week and re-calibrate the digitizer. I should also keep the Edge away from any sources of RF or EMF according to this guy!?!? So does this mean that one shouldn't use the Edge with a VisorPhone? I plan to call back tomorrow to see if I can get a better answer, but as of now, that's what I was told. If it's accurate, the Edge doesn't even deserve mention, nevertheless honorable.[/VENT]

WTF?! that is, uh, WACK. Sounds like a less-than-2-standard-deviations-from-the-norm-on-the-stanford-binet-tech-support-guy to me. But if not, !!

Hey, I guess that means you can sit on it, so long as you don't have a radio in your butt.

...come to think of it, I was trying to find somebody who used a vphone with the edge and failed...

let us know what you find!

oh, yeah, and another thing, WTF!

Perhaps depending on the answer I get when I call, but it would be more along the lines of MaximumPC's Watchdog and PCWorld's ConsumerWatch rather than the WTF or the FTC.

Arrow

Unlike other categories, there may only be 2-3 Visors released in a year. The Neo and Pro weren't eligible because of their release date, so that left the Prism, Platinum, and Edge.

I tried to word it in a way so that it wouldn't seem like all other Visors released sucked too much to be a candidate.

Of course not! If you read my review of the Visor Edge you will see that I liked it. If I had to pick an HM it would be the Edge.
