Systemlogic has put up a Handspring Visor Edge review

Just a few months ago I received the Visor Platinum for Christmas, and it really impressed me with all the features and expansion possibilities it had. Although it was a little more bulky than the sleek Palm Vs out there, it made up for that in functionality. Since then I´ve gotten a lot of use out the ol´ Platinum, and even have a few cool Springboard modules. Even though I´m happy with my Platinum, a part of me wishes it was smaller, had a flip cover, and came in another color. Enter the Visor Edge. Pretty much all my prayers were answered a couple months later when Handspring introduced their latest addition to the Visor line of PDAs, the sleek Visor Edge. They basically took everything inside the Visor Platinum and scaled it down into a thinner aluminum body, added more colors, added a rechargeable battery, and finally added a flip cover. Along with these enhancements, Handspring increased the price to $399 from the Platinum´s $299. So was the increase in price worth it? Not to those like myself with Visor Platinum´s already. So I didn´t exactly go out and get myself an Edge right away. I think Handspring noticed that their new baby wasn´t going to be appealing to current Visor owners unless they added something else. Well it seems Handspring has continued its loyalty to the consumers by offering a promotion to upgrade to the Visor Edge. Basically, if you´re a current Visor owner or PDA owner, you are eligible for a $100 off a new Visor Edge, bringing down the price to $299. Handspring suggests you donate your old PDA to a relative or friend. I think most people will have other things in mind, *cough* Ebay *cough*. So anyway, I decided to get myself a Visor Edge and "donate" my old Platinum to some needy person out there. Now that brings us to this review. Let´s see if the Edge is really all it´s cracked up to be.
