Product Description
The Handspring Visor Deluxe is the first expandable handheld computer that lets you instantly turn an organizer into a digital camera, music player, or even a phone. It comes with 8 MB of RAM, so you have more than enough room to store all your data, plus a myriad of other programs and information. Plus, it features the amazing Springboard expansion slot, so you can snap in a wide range of hardware and software modules and turn your Visor into whatever you want it to be. Moreover, it is plug-and-play so there are no drivers to load. Just snap in a module and it works! It even comes in five great colors - ice, graphite, blue, orange, and green - so you are sure to find one that suits your style, personality, or mood.

The Handspring Visor Deluxe is the hot new handheld that runs the popular Palm OS, so it's compatible with thousands of existing applications. It's also expandable with Springboard modules that can add extra memory or a modem, or transform your Visor into an MP3 player, video game, GPS receiver, and more. Plus, its fast-synchronizing USB connection is compatible with both the PC and Macintosh.
To set up the Handspring Visor Deluxe, we followed the Getting Started instructions printed on the software CD-ROM case, inserting the batteries, calibrating the touch screen, entering the date and time, connecting the included USB cradle to our PC (an optional serial cradle is available), installing the desktop synchronization software, and synchronizing the Visor with our PC. The entire setup process was straightforward and intuitive, requiring only about five minutes.
Fans of Palm Computing's Palm III line of connected organizers will have no difficulty using the Visor, as it runs on a licensed version of the Palm OS. All the popular Palm personal information management (PIM) applications are included and work exactly the same way as they do on the Palm. The Visor also uses Palm's Graffiti handwriting recognition system for text entry, which takes only a few minutes to learn and a few hours of practice to master. Handspring has added to the Palm OS an advanced date book, calculator, world clock, and support for floating-point math.
The Visor Deluxe comes with 8 MB of RAM, providing plenty of room for thousands of addresses, to-do items, and memos; hundreds of e-mail messages; and several years of appointments. It also includes a USB synchronization cradle, two AAA batteries, a stick-on Graffiti "cheat sheet," a leather slip case, a stylus, a Handspring logo decal, a Quick Reference Guide, inserts describing accessories and cases, and a software CD-ROM. The CD-ROM includes Palm Desktop Software 3.01, a software link to Microsoft Outlook, and the full-length User's Guide. However, the Visor Deluxe does not come with an AC adapter.
Using the Visor was intuitive and fun, just like the Palm III series organizers that it's based on. However, unlike the Palm, the Visor has an easily accessible expansion port that supports Springboard modules. For our tests, we installed a modem module, an 8 MB memory module, the Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf game, and a Physician's Desk Reference module (note that you can install only one module at a time). Installing these modules is very easy, and they can greatly increase the functionality, power, and usefulness of the Visor. (For more information, see the descriptions of the individual Springboard modules.
Overall, we were very impressed with the Visor. It takes the best of the popular Palm platform, and adds memory and expandability--all at a great price. --Mike Brown
Pros:
- Easy to set up and use
- Runs the Palm OS and supports thousands of existing Palm applications
- Expandable with Springboard modules
- Good price
Cons:
Amazon.com Product Description
Important note to customers: Your Visor comes with a free USB cradle, but not all computers and operating system are USB compatible. If your computer uses Windows 95, Windows NT, or Mac OS 8.0 or below, or if your computer is not equipped with USB ports, you'll need to purchase an additional serialcradle to synchronize your computer with your new Visor. The Handspring Visor Deluxe connected organizer is all you'll need to store thousands of names, addresses, appointments, memos, to-do items, expense items, and e-mail. Based on the popular Palm OS, the Handspring Visor Deluxe is fully compatible with thousands of Palm Computing platform applications. Plus, Handspring has added features to the Palm OS like an advanced date book, calculator, world clock, and built-in floating-point math support.
The Handspring Visor Deluxe offers a fast USB connection, making synchronizing your PC or Mac simple. Exchange of information between your handheld and PC occurs with the touch of a button. HotSync technology ensures all your data is backed up and enables significantly faster synchronization with USB support than the normal serial connection. (An optional serial cradle is available.)
The Handspring Visor Deluxe with its 8 MB RAM also stores 12,000 addresses, 10 years of appointments, 6,000 to-do items, 6,000 memos, and 400 e-mail messages, plus it has plenty of room for add-on applications. This model includes support for Lotus cc:Mail, Microsoft Outlook, and Qualcomm Eudora. Software to synchronize with AOL, Lotus Notes, Netscape Communicator, and POP3 mail is sold separately.
The Handspring Visor Deluxe is fully expandable with an external expansion slot that lets you add optional software and hardware modules (called Springboard modules) in a snap. Modules like an MP3 player, pager, modem, GPS receiver, or video game can be added to make a new device.
The Handspring Visor Deluxe comes with a HotSync cradle, stylus, snap cover, leather slip case, Palm Desktop software (Windows and Mac), software link to Microsoft Outlook (Windows only), two AAA batteries, and a one-year warranty.
What's in the box
- Visor Deluxe
- HotSync cradle

GREAT ITEMS STILL!!!.......2006-12-05
Compared to the technology and color screen palm pilots and handsprings of today, THis is truley a classic and lasted long! IT's a great item for anyone who loves to be organized (school, business...). And Great Customer Service.
Lasted Four Years - I weep for Palm.......2006-03-06
I am filled with feelings of anger and despair as I see the once great Palm Corporation in its death throes. I bought my first Handspring Visor Deluxe in early 2001 for $250 -- had it stolen 11 months later -- and bought another refurbished one from Handspring in Feb 2002 for just $100. The device gave me outstanding service until it died just a few days after its 4th (re)birthday. A refurbished device lasting 4 years! Since yesterday I have been looking for a replacement, inexpensive PalmOS handheld. Unfortunatlely, there is only PalmOne (or whatever they are called now) corporation left (having swallowed Handspring) and the PalmOS has been sold to a Japanese company. The reviews for Palm's current products -- nearly all from longtime loyal Palm-product users -- nearly uniformly slam the products.
I am depressed. I hate the MS PocketPC (or whatever they call the current version) devices -- they are much too complex, they are slow, they are too Windows-like, and they are darned expensive. In contrast, PalmOS devices were snappy, reliable, simple and easy to use, and relatively inexpensive. What more could one ask for?
There seems to be no reasonable alternative now. Should I take a risk with the low end Palm Z22 (and have it fail in two months). Handspring's customer service used to be outstanding. Palm's current customer service sucks big time. Even if the company goes out of business in the next six months (it definitely will be gone before December 2006), I don't care, as long as I can get a decent PalmOS device that lasts the next 4 years.
Thanks for all the good times, Handspring and Palm! Too bad you faded away and left us to be devoured by Microsoft.
Visor Deluxe Blue.......2006-01-19
The best at this price. Like the color and functions. Mine has latest longer than some comparable higher end models. Life saver when trying to keep a busy life organized. Great optional backlight feature.
The Best.......2005-12-18
Even though it is expensve, it is a palm pilot. You can plug it in via USB. It is a good PDA.
Visor Deluxe.......2005-10-01
Unit works about as expected, with possible exception of a few areas of the screen that are not too sensitive to the touches from the stylus. So far I am working around that. This is my 3rd Deluxe and the 1st one to give any operational problem of any sort. Generally a good product.

Based on the popular Palm OS, the Handspring Visor Deluxe is fully compatible with thousands of Palm Computing platform applications. Plus, Handspring has added features to the Palm OS like an advanced date book, calculator, world clock, and built-in floating-point math support.
The Handspring Visor Deluxe offers a fast USB connection, making synchronizing your PC or Mac simple. Exchange of information between your handheld and PC occurs with the touch of a button. HotSync technology ensures all your data is backed up and enables significantly faster synchronization with USB support than the normal serial connection. (An optional serial cradle is available.)
The Handspring Visor Deluxe with its 8 MB RAM also stores 12,000 addresses, 10 years of appointments, 6,000 to-do items, 6,000 memos, and 400 e-mail messages, plus it has plenty of room for add-on applications. This model includes support for Lotus cc:Mail, Microsoft Outlook, and Qualcomm Eudora. Software to synchronize with AOL, Lotus Notes, Netscape Communicator, and POP3 mail is sold separately.
The Handspring Visor Deluxe is fully expandable with an external expansion slot that lets you add optional software and hardware modules (called Springboard modules) in a snap. Modules like an MP3 player, pager, modem, GPS receiver, or video game can be added to make a new device.
The Handspring Visor Deluxe comes with a HotSync cradle, stylus, snap cover, leather slip case, Palm Desktop software (Windows and Mac), software link to Microsoft Outlook (Windows only), two AAA batteries, and a one-year warranty.

GREAT ITEMS STILL!!!.......2006-12-05

Lasted Four Years - I weep for Palm.......2006-03-06
I am filled with feelings of anger and despair as I see the once great Palm Corporation in its death throes. I bought my first Handspring Visor Deluxe in early 2001 for $250 -- had it stolen 11 months later -- and bought another refurbished one from Handspring in Feb 2002 for just $100. The device gave me outstanding service until it died just a few days after its 4th (re)birthday. A refurbished device lasting 4 years! Since yesterday I have been looking for a replacement, inexpensive PalmOS handheld. Unfortunatlely, there is only PalmOne (or whatever they are called now) corporation left (having swallowed Handspring) and the PalmOS has been sold to a Japanese company. The reviews for Palm's current products -- nearly all from longtime loyal Palm-product users -- nearly uniformly slam the products.
I am depressed. I hate the MS PocketPC (or whatever they call the current version) devices -- they are much too complex, they are slow, they are too Windows-like, and they are darned expensive. In contrast, PalmOS devices were snappy, reliable, simple and easy to use, and relatively inexpensive. What more could one ask for?
There seems to be no reasonable alternative now. Should I take a risk with the low end Palm Z22 (and have it fail in two months). Handspring's customer service used to be outstanding. Palm's current customer service sucks big time. Even if the company goes out of business in the next six months (it definitely will be gone before December 2006), I don't care, as long as I can get a decent PalmOS device that lasts the next 4 years.
Thanks for all the good times, Handspring and Palm! Too bad you faded away and left us to be devoured by Microsoft.
Visor Deluxe Blue.......2006-01-19
The best at this price. Like the color and functions. Mine has latest longer than some comparable higher end models. Life saver when trying to keep a busy life organized. Great optional backlight feature.
The Best.......2005-12-18
Even though it is expensve, it is a palm pilot. You can plug it in via USB. It is a good PDA.
Visor Deluxe.......2005-10-01
Unit works about as expected, with possible exception of a few areas of the screen that are not too sensitive to the touches from the stylus. So far I am working around that. This is my 3rd Deluxe and the 1st one to give any operational problem of any sort. Generally a good product.

great backup.......2005-05-06
I brought this module years ago to backup my visor, especially since I did not own a computer at the time. It was a lifesaver, allowing me to restore everything upon replacing batteries. There were a few times I misplaced the visor in the house and (of course two months or so later) once I found it the batteries were completely dead. The backup module restored everything perfectly.
exactly what I wanted.......2002-09-21
Hotsyncing with the Visor can be a pain: it takes a long time and it's sometimes dificult to get the Visor to sit it's in cradle. When you want to put files from your Visor onto the computer, there's no alternative, but if you're just backing up files, this module is excellent. You press one button, wait a minute, and everything is backed up. This is especially important because I've found that replacing batteries in the Visor sometimes deletes the data. Restoring from the backup module is then a one step process. Retoring from hotsync would first entail reinstalling all of the software and then hotsyncing the data. It's a little pricey and is something of a luxury, but it makes life much easier, especially if you're on the go.
Wonderful product!.......2002-08-09
I hot sync with a backup buddy already. However, I travel quite a bit, and this neat little module is just the best. It is very easy to use. . . simply put in the slot and tap an icon. . . and then you have a backup with you at all times, even when you can't get to your desktop.
simple!!!!!.......2002-06-06
Everything should be this easy.You put the module in the slot and tap the backup icon,And,it does it amazing!!!!!!I love this product.
Takes a beating and keeps on Protecting.......2002-03-06
I bought this item while on a trip to New York. While I was there, all my info on my visor went corrupt. At that point, I went out and bought this little item. So far, its been great. The reason I gave it a 5 is for its durability. I had, like I usually do with many things, left the module in my pocket overnight in the pants I had on the floor. However, my parents had decided to take those pants and wash them. Once through the washing machine and a run through the dryer. It got out and I was sure it was dead, but nevertheless curious. So, I put it in the visor, and much to my surprise, IT WORKED! Whereas I wouldnt try this at home, its amazing how tough these modules are. Handspring makes the best!

Fits well, but isn't the same as the original.......2003-08-09
I bought this thinking that it was the same as the original stylus I'd lost. Forget it. It fits well in the slot, works well to write Graffiti, but it does not have the reset pin hidden under the stylus head/cap. If not having a built-in reset pin is not a big deal for you, then this is a good buy.
Still Looking.......2003-01-10
Read the "fine print". I thought I was getting the original Handspring stylus(based on the picture) when in fact it is a black plastic wannabe. Where are the multi colored 5 paks? These work but are much lighter and easy to misplace because they are all black.
Not quite replacements..........2002-12-13
I was a bit disappointed with these 'replacements' - they really aren't (though the accompanying graphic shows stylii that look like the original). These are just black plastic versions that are shaped the same.
Pros: They fit in the stylus holder ok and they're reasonably cheap. You get three and you'll probably lose some so that's nice. Just be sure to put the spares somewhere that you'll remember.
Cons: These are one piece shaped alike versions. They have no removable end with a reset wire like the original. They're sort of crusty to use - just don't feel good in your hand and aren't finished very well.
Overall: They work. It might be hard to find an original replacement now and even if you do they'll be expensive (relatively) and you'll probably lose another one if you lost the first. I'd say they're ok if you can't afford or can't find an original replacement.
