Which Visor should I buy?

I am on the verge of taking the plunge and buying my first pda but don't know which one I really need. I was all set to get a refurbished Visor Deluxe to try the whole pda thing out. I'm really looking for an organizer and a way to download news, movie listings etc. However, Handspring is now offering a free Visorphone with purchase and since my husband and I having been toying with the idea of each having our own cellphone instead of sharing, the Visorphone looks like a good move.

So,is the Visor Deluxe equipped to handle Visorphone or will a faster Visor like the Platinum?

The VDX is fine for VisorPhone. I use it.

The Platinum may have better performance with the VisorPhone in Europe, but there is some anecdotal evidence that VDX works there too.

I say get the new 16mb visor pro. if your going to get the visorphone. i have the visor edge and i love it but when i was going to get the visorphone i realized that i only had 943k left of memory and i know the blazer software and the phones software will exceed the limit.
the VDX is usable with visor phone but go with the visor pro or visor platinum

Well, with the Prism now going for $299, I'd say get one of those.

Dang, that's the same price I bought my my Platinum for back in Dec. Rats, I should have waited longer...

oh well

I recently bought a Prism (used) and I love it. But I've given up trying to beat the price point. If you like the technology or the aesthetics or whatever get it when it reaches a price you can comfortably afford. The day your return privileges expire the company will release a better, faster, cheaper model.
