And, with the unique SpringboardTM expansion slot, you can snap in a digital camera or global positioning system and instantly view full-color photos and maps. Best of all, its plug-and-play so there are no drivers to load. Just snap in a module and it works! Less

Magnifying the Flaws of the Visor Prism

byquasar Sep 1, 2001
123 Helpfuls 124 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros color, some interesting Springboard modules finally available
Cons very pixelated screen, bulky and heavy, limited accessories, memory expansion expensive
Recommended it? No

I have made no secret of the fact I have yet to find a color Palm I like. Although I have other issues with each of the available color Palms (Palm IIIc, Palm m505, Visor Prism, and Sony CLIE), one problem is constant among all of the color devices: pixelation effects. On all of these devices, the... Read full review »

Pros Excellent color screen, Expandable
Cons Still $200 more than monochrome screen
Recommended it? Yes

Lately, the store I deal with has been heavily promoting Visors in advance of the release of two new ones, both of which I?ve recently had the chance to spend some time with.

The first is the Visor Prism, the first color PDA by Handspring. It has a gorgeous 16 bit 65,000 color backlit... Read full review »

I still want a T/X

byDargen Dec 31, 2005
97 Helpfuls 98 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Bright screen, weight, size
Cons Hotsync, screen calibration
Recommended it? Yes

In early September my 2 year old Palm Zire 71 fried itself. One day it was charging, got really hot, and simply stopped working. I knew it was coming. For a couple weeks the battery didn't hold a charge and always felt warm, so when the PDA finally fried, I was little more than annoyed.

bysnpmurray Apr 13, 2006
66 Helpfuls 67 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Compact, great software, a huge help to organization!
Cons Designed such that you must buy accessories to get full functionality, and other things
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased a Tungsten E2 because I just started back to grad school and I suddenly need somewhere to put a dozen manuals, and get a whole lot more organized. While I would say I was satisfied with the Tungsten, there are some niggles about the design and functionality that have been on my mind a... Read full review »
