JGboPerfect for Pockets

Thumbs Up

Highly recommended for those who want to carry it in their pocket and not look like a dweeb. I've had mine for a month with no problems. Constant Springboard users probably won't like the "sled," but the only module I use is the Backup module, which comes right off after backup and goes back into a safe place.

ben_steevesYum. Pretty

Thumbs Up

Without a doubt, this is the prettiest PalmOS handheld yet. I just wish the Springboard sled was more elegant. Luckily, being detachable, we can look forward to sexier sleds.

davsugThe Edge has major hardware problems

Thumbs Down

I love the form factor, and I would have happily gotten rid of my Prism for it, but I had so many hard resets and other hardware problems (buttons not working, etc) in the first 24 hours that I couldn't stand it.

mikeeGreat Design, Could use a left hand rail for slim cases like the Palm V

Thumbs Down

Great machine, nice design, and very easy to obtain and work with.Replaced my Palm III circa 1998. Much faster and the screen is great.Having trouble finding a slim case just to carry business cards. It either needs a left hand rail like the Palm V or a new flip cover that could hold cards on the outside.

cmorrisBeats the CE device it replaced

Thumbs Down

I love the Visor Edge. It's smaller and less weighty than the CE palm device it replaced. I also bought a Xircom modem which allows me to sync with my office remotely. A nice package!

AnonymousIt's Okay, though...

Thumbs Up

No color, the sleeve is bulky, but it's a Visor and should have some redeeming features. 33Mhz Dragonball makes up (somewhat) for the deficiencies...

bnjacobsCall me when it has a color screen...

Thumbs Up

... and maybe with 16MB of memory. But, I do think it's a great PDA and possibly worth my upgrade dollars when I'm ready to ditch my ice VDx.

StealthXBest, fastest PDA...

Thumbs Up

Chris Cheongneed better Quality Control

Thumbs Down

I had 3 returns already. Good customer support, but not very good quality control.
