User Opinions: Visor Prism


PotusFabulous color plus visor coolness.

Thumbs Up

Watching a movie clip on the Prism was so much fun. The screen is amazingly sharp and bright. While the other Visors are just as efficient the Prism wins the beauty contest. The Palm loses on all counts: evern personality.

=mattmanMy first Visor - I'm glad I got the best

I was considering the Platinum, but it was out of stock everywhere. I'm very glad I got the Prism instead. I love the color feature and wouldn't want to live with plan greyscale. Battery life okay. Too bad the cover doesn't snap on. Otherwise great. Quick and responsive overall.

KKohrNot the best

Thumbs Down

Received my Prism two days ago. It crashed the next night and neither a soft or hard reset worked. The screen remained blank until the battery was drained. It hasn't worked since so I'm returning the unit to Handspring.I wasn't impressed with the color screen. At work I found the screen too difficult to view under flourescent lighting. My trusty Visor Deluxe was easier to view. Since I gave this unit to my wife, I'm ordering the Visor Platinum.

AnonymousAwesome!

Good visually but somewhat dark in sunlight - battery life reasonable. All around good.

Brad BrowneProblems exist but it's worth it!

I love it- yes the case color wears off on some, the screen sometimes looks "liney", and the front part of my case on 2 separate visors seems lose, but it is still a great product!

This thing rocks. Didn't get the IPAQ because Compaq's are pieces of sh#$ with cheap parts. Love the blue case and great color. Wish battery lasted longer but that's OK. Incredible Springboard support--can't wait to get SOunds Good! Doesn't work well in daylight. This thing is FUN!! My first PDA after extensive research to find the BEST... Makes my Palm toting friend jealous. Zap 2016 looks awesome. This thing is a conversation piece and party favor. Dont'let them drop it!!!

AnonymousDisplay is BAD!

Thumbs Down

Relative to the other Visor displays, MAYBE the Prism is good. But, overall, the display REALLY STINKS. It looks VERY similar to the display on the Palm IIIc. From the perspective of the end user, the color screen leaves A LOT to be desired. From the perspective of the techno-geeks, the color screen is an amazing advancement.

Thom ParrottSuper Satisfied!

I have been using a Palm Vx and just got the Prism as a Xmas gift. I loved my Vx, but the Prism is at a whole different level. It's so much faster! And it's color is great! I could never go back to the Vx. This thing is going to be tough to top...

Got my Visor Prism for Christmas from my spouse, who gets the old Visor Deluxe. He now wants the Prism! (Never even wanted a Visor before!) Recommend everyone get one, you'll own one sooner or later!

trishLove it!

Thumbs Up

I really love my Prism! I debated spending the extra money on color and I am SO happy that I did. So much easier on the eyes and familiar, just like my PC desktop. One of my goals using a PDA is to simplify and now I can carry personal photos on the Visor and with the Bi-fold case (which I also love) carry all of cards/money/etc. The only module I wish for now is keyless entry for home/car/etc., then I won't have to carry keys!
