Yesterday, the courier brought me my...
Visor Deluxe Ice
Extra Cradle
Slim Leather Case
Backup Module.

Nothing is broken
Screen is unscratched
Device works
and it's pretty nice, BUT:

What's the hype about ? Apart from a different colour, a different cradle, and a different leather case and a slightly faster operating system, I pretty have the same stuff in front of me I had before, with my PalmIII with IR Upgrade (And ahh yes, the backup module, I forgot...) In fact, the case is even slightly bigger, doesn't carry all my credit cards like the old one, and I have the constant feeling the thing will die every minute (after reading all these messages here).

So, can anyone tell me what the heck is so fantastic about the VISOR ?

Feedback appreciated !

8 megs and Springboard expandability for considerably less than an equivalent Palm... works for me.

And.. no problems here after 5 weeks... a really nice, solid unit. Worth every penny.

Also, don't forget, better datebook, world clock program (small thing for me) the capability of doing an USB synch.

Come on, what did you want, you saved $100 over the Palm equivalent, and got a better unit with expandability.

I guess that you wanted it to do your windows and cook dinner. You are in for a disappointing life.

Also, for many of us this was our first PDA or Palm and we have been pumped up by it I guess. I saw Palms and 250-300 for 1 meg of Ram didn't quite do it for me. Hearing 180 for 2 megs got me interested and 250 for 8 hooked me. I think it's awesome what Handspring did for Palm pricing.
