The Neo and Platinum have identical hardware.

I asked Handspring about whether or not the Neo and Platinum were identical electronically, and this is what they said:

Yes, the Neo and the Platinum have identical internal components.
The only difference between the two, besides the cosmetics, is that the Neo has a silent appointment alarm and the Platinum does not. Otherwise they are the same. Also, the Neo comes with 4.0 desktop upgrade on the start up CD while the Platinum does not, although the upgrade can be downloaded from the Handspring web site. Neo's Hotsync cradle is clear (Ice) while Platinum's is graphite.

Many kudos for their speedy response!

The Neo doesn't have a silent alarm, at least mine doesn't.

reco: You're right. Silent alarms on the Visors are LED blinkers, and you only get that (iirc) on Visors with built-in rechargable batteries (like the Prism and Pro).
