too long and wrong product 
2003-02-21
it took me a month to get my order and then it is the wrong cradle. the seller did not specify which cradle this was for in his discription and i recieved the wrong color i recieved metal gray not "ICE". all i can say is thanks for nothing!
Perfect cradle 
2002-03-25
I have a Serial at work and a USB at home. Both are perfect. 2 years and no flaws. Well done Handspring! Buy it!
Must have for Win NT or non-USB equiped PC Owners 2001-03-22
This is a must if you don't have a USB port, or if your running Win NT. Goes without saying that synching with a serial device isn't as fast as with the USB cradle, but it does get the job done. I use the USB cradle at home and the serial cradle at the office.
Get Two Cradles 2001-01-14
If you are going to start using a PDA, like the Visor Deluxe, consider two cradles if you work outside the home. Having two places to do my "to do list" is worth the $... alone. I did not like the ice color at first, but I am fine with it now. The unit worked perfectly out of the box, and so far connects every time. The Visor became a "killer application" for me, so the need for the two cradles was evident from the start.
USB or Serial 2001-01-08
Excellent cradles either way. I use the USB cradle at home and a serial one at work. You can't tell the difference in speed. The hot sync button on the cradle works like a champ.
Gotta pre-USB Mac? Gotta have it! 2000-11-09
Buy a second (or even third) HotSync Cradle and do your synchronizing at home, at the office, or anywhere. Visor Serial HotSync Cradle enables users of non-USB equipped PCs and Macs to HotSync their Visor to multiple computers.
Excellent...have both USB and Serial Hotsync cradle 2000-09-05
I have a cradle for a desk top with windows95 and a serial port and a laptop with win98 and a usb port. I find virtually the same performance in both cradles with regards to time, function, compatability, etc. One odd thing that may be unique to my cradles is that the serial cradle holds the visor MUCH MUCH tighter than the USB cradle. I cant really think of a reason that this would be but detatching it from the serial cradle is somewhat of a pain. Possibily with use it will be less "sticky". The data transfer is smooth with both and I hesitated ALOT (!) about getting a cradle for each computer but I am very glad I did. Right after I did my laptop went in for repairs and my visor needed batteries..... you need to hotsync before a battery change...hence my timing was perfect. Perfect timing doesnt happen often in life and I am just thankful it happened this time...before I started losing data. Consider this option if you have a serial port computer you can use...you won't be sorry PS LOVE MY VISOR!
Good, easy ability to Sync 
2000-06-13
The handspring serial is easy to use and is a good product. It worked well, but would be nice if there was a way to lock the Visor in. The Visor can fall off if bumped into. Comes in colors that match the different colors for the Visor which is nice. Good Product
Just works 2000-06-12
Does everything you'd expect; if you need a cradle for your visor, but don't have USB, this is what you want.
Especially useful if you want to use your Visor with Linux, but don't want to configure it to support USB (you can do it, but it's experimental).
USB hotsync is fast! 2000-06-10
I have two of these Ice hotsync cradles and they are very nice. I can hotsnyc in about 10 seconds, and get all my Avant Go news and other conduits every morning. I can also sync at work with this replacement cradle, and since it is USB, there is no need to configure, just plug and go!
