Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: GREAT ITEMS STILL!!! Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Lasted Four Years - I weep for Palm Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Visor Deluxe Blue Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Decent Palm Based Handheld . . . Comment: . . . but fragile, and quality is dubious. This Visor Deluxe is a refurbised replacement for my original Visor, which broke unexpectedly (and had many issues of it's own).
Good basic handheld, works well with Outlook 2000 (with the included Chapura Pocketmirror software). It's been fairly troublefree, with the exception of occasionally wigging out and requiring a hard reset.
Bottom line, it's a good handheld if you can get it inexpensively. Don't count on Handspring support, they charge & they're not that helpful.
Customer Rating: Summary: A well thought out program, quickly delivered Comment: This is a relatively no frills PDA that works with my MAC. I lost my other Haqndspring and chose not to upgrade, and bought a refurbished model from this vendor. It came very quickly, in a sealed box, at a good price, and with all the extra equipment that normally comes with a new PDA.. The service was exemplary.
