Handspring Prism information

Cons:
The body is too thick to even fit comfortably in my shirt pocket.
I cannot remove the hard faceplate and snap it on the back with only one hand. You are left having to hold two items to...

Pros: Color Screen, Springboard Slot, USB Hot Sync
Cons: Size, Internal Battery, Color Screen in Sunlight

I purchased my Prism from Ebay from $310 which at the time was a really good price. The price has dropped considerably since then and can be found for just over $300.

I am not a real busy guy that needs to keep all my appointments somewhere...

Pros: Great color,easy sync, advanced calculator for converting length, weight or temperatures, plenty of memory
Cons: Poor in sunlight, occasional "reset" crashes, no earphone for future use as an mp3

I used to have a Visor Deluxe and I loved that too- until I lost it in an airport! Believe me- people aren't that eager to return such a great tool (toy!). Since I just "had" to replace it, I decided to get a color Prism instead. Since I carry it in my...

Pros: Color, Re-Chargeable, Linux Compatible.
Cons: Some USB Support missing from Linux Programs, Screen Outdoors.

It has been a few months now, and I have been using my Handspring Prism for just about everything, from organizing my personal life to playing great freeware games I find at Freeware Palm, but my most mission critical use is at the office, where it...

Pros: Outstanding color, springboard slot, theoretically cannot become obsolete
Cons: sometimes hard to see screen outdoors

I own the Handspring visor Prism, and it has changed my life. I am always organized and on time, I can check my schedule by day, week, or month at a glance. I have my address book, schedule, a word-processor and various e-books all in my tiny Prism,...

Pros: Easy to carry, convenient for small amounts of information entry.
Cons: Is heavy and a little bulky once you put it in a case

I decided back in March 2004 that I wanted to start using a PDA. Being of the old days of the planner/organizer, I thought this would really help to organize my personal life with doctor appointments etc. and professional life with meetings, projects ...

Pros: Great color, fast, usb- cable
Cons: Price is the only thing I can think of.

Finally I own a pda that i love. After being caught with the itch to buy a pda, and not knowing much about who made what, i rushed out to buy a palm vii. Not that I really needed a pda but i wanted one as a toy.

I'm a college student and I...

Pros: Good color, spiffy cases
Cons: RF emissions interfere with modem, heavy, can flake out when changing springboards

I just returned my springboard modem to the fine folks at OmniSky (who were wonderful about it and whose modem for the Palm V I recommend highly) because the Handspring Prism emits excessive RF and the modem couldn't hold a signal.

It's...

Pros: It's in color, infinitely expandable.
Cons: Bulkier compared to other PDA's but worth it.

After examining the Handspring Prism at CompUSA, and reading up online about what it has to offer, I feel I have made a pretty good buy with the latest offering from Handspring.

COLOR *****
I finished reading a negative review of...

Pros: bright colors, lots of applications, fast compared to other Palm devices.
Cons: bulky, screen is pixellated, springboard modules expensive

I got my Prism at Costco for $199 which is why I'm keeping it. Otherwise I would just save up for a Pocket PC. It seems that Palm devices are quickly becoming obsolete. This Prism however is nice. The colors are wonderful. Handspring should have made the...

Pros: Color, Expandability
Cons: Price, Limited Memory

If you're looking for a color Palm OS PDA, you don't have much of a selection. Your choices include a Palm IIIc, a Sony Clie, or, in my case, a Handspring Visor Prism.
The Prism's design is slightly bulky, but is overall slim enough to fit in a...

Pros: Colors are vivid. Battery life is great.
Cons: A bit bulkier than its B&W siblings.

I purchased my Prism refurbished from E-Bay as I was upgrading from my B&W Visor to the color Prism. I have an 8mb memory card installed on the unit as well. I couldn't live without the Prism. The colors on it are very rich and with the memory modu ...

Pros: Color, wireless capability, Lithium battery
Cons: No Flash ROM, Larger size than Palm V

I have been a Palm PDA user for the past 2+ years, most recently the Palm IIIx.

When I saw the Palm V, I was impressed with the form factor but I did not see any new capabilities when compared to the Palm IIIx.

When I saw the...

Pros: Great color, decient battery life, plenty of memory, expansion slot
Cons: Price and size

The Handspring Visor Prism is a wonderful PDA. It uses the PalmOS, has color and plenty of standard memory for palm written applications. The expansion slot on the back of the Handspring is what sets the Visor apart from it's cousin the Palm IIIc. The...

Pros: Beautiful, expandable, functional
Cons: bulky, 8MB RAM is too little

I just upgraded from a Visor Platinum by getting a refurbished model on eBay. It's just as fast except in drawing color text (hardly noticeable), and even seems to hotsync more reliably that the Platinum. I'v heard some criticism of the screen, such as...
