After 2 years, I still love it. 
2004-04-17
I've dropped it countless times. I run all sorts of software on it. And I've never had any problems whatsoever; this thing just keeps on working perfectly. Despite its dated bios and b&w screen, this remains the most elegant, usable pda I've ever seen.

Works Great...for over TWO Years 2004-03-17
I brought my Visor metal over two years ago after I dropped, and killed, a Palm handheld. The Visor had been refurbished prior to my purchase of it. It has worked great since then. It has been dropped (numerous times) and hacked with specialty software, without any problems.
I use the Mobil-Mate launcher, it's called HandScape, which I think is better then the default Handspring launcher.
The only problem I have with it is that it the screen is in black and white. I may have to upgrade to a color model, hmm....
Great PDA 2003-11-04
I bought this unit the day it became discontinued, the price was so low that I gave it a try, being it my first handheld... I've using it since then, every day, everywhere for almost every task, now it has all my address books digitized onto it, my catalogued books, shopping lists, my college grades... A truly "organizer" if you ask me!!! I have no problems with it, only one soft reset, and a hard reset, but that happened in the first days when I uploaded to it almost any free piece of software I found... And now that it is quite old, all the accesories are getting very cheap, and I started to buy some springboards and cables for it...
I'm very happy with it!!!
A grand piece of arcitecture

Before I bought this PDA, I researched and researched and found this to be the most complelling product for its price. Although after I purchased it, the stylus fell apart and the stylus holder also fell apart, I was lucky enough to be able to fix the stylus holder but the stylus was repaired with a needle that I stuck in between, signaling the need for another stylus. But other than that fault, and a few crashes of the operating system, this PDA was awesome. It has a nice sleek design and works well. The metal cover provides extra protection for the times that you might drop the PDA, on the carpet that is. The only other thing I found wrong with it, was the cradle and Power cord. The PDA had to be connected to the cradle for power and is hard to hold while docked. Anyways, overall this product is great and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to have an organizer that will last them for years.
Still LOVE it....AFTER ALMOST 7 YEARS!!!! 2007-11-24
Seriously, I have owned mine for at least 7 years....it might beven be closer to eight. It has never once crashed, lost data, slowed down....the battery is the orignal, the screen is still clear - even with almost 8 years of tapping and scratching - and it has alsways remained quick and speedy. The Visor Edge (mine was red) has brought sanity to my life without adding clunky programs and other gadgets. Plus, after nearly 8 years, the metal cover is still perfectly intact, except for one small scartch about 1/4 an inch long. Considering I am a very clumsy person and have dropped it numerous times, the machine is still almost new looking. The metal case has been amazing durable!!! If you can still find.......it is WORTH IT!!!!

Still an excellent product. Reconditioned product as good as new. Sellar has been very responsive to information requests.
Better than an address book 2005-01-08
The learning curve for this PDA is about as short as it gets. Many functions that are extremely useable for most students as well as business people. DataBase products available to create your own lists and functionality. Durable and Hotsyncs easily with all Windows products. Recharges in the cradle in a very short period of time and holds the charge exceptionally well compared to most color type screens. For the money and memory size this ones hard to beat!
Almost 3 years latter... 2004-07-02
Practical, portable, durable, expandable, and it looks good.
Practical - The Visor Edge ("VE") uses Palm software. Unlike Windows CE and the like, its quick and easy to jot down biz information and to retrieve it.
Portable - Check out the specs. This is the thinnest and lightest PDA around.
Durable - Metal case with metal flip cover. My VE has been in backpacks, back pockets, and in cargo pants for almost 3 years and it's still going strong.
Expandable - A plethora of useful and fun applications are developed for the Palm platform.
It looks good - My VE is brushed silver: sleek with a futuristic feel.
When someone manages to fit a color PDA into a VE shell, I'll consider upgrading.
Elegant and reliable 2004-06-20
I've had the Visor Edge (in metallic blue) for almost two years and have had no problems with it at all. This is my first PDA, and I've been tempted to move to a model with color and additional memory. The unreliability of so many Palm products has discouraged me.
I use my Palm for storing addresses and for the calendar. I also use it for recording client notes from my sessions.
The battery life is excellent, and hot-synching and charging from the cradle couldn't be simpler.
This is a thin unit that easily fits into backpack or purse.
Backlighting is very helpful in dim-light situations.
If you find one of these new or refurbished (which mine was), and if you don't need a lot of bells and whistles in your PDA, I couldn't recommend this more highly.
