m105 or Visor Deluxe

[coolVariable]

I don't know which to get ...

I got a very cheap Visor Deluxe with a Targus Keyboard (used) that I could sell for about the price of a used m105 ...
Should I keep the Visor, or should I get the m105?

I like the Design of the 105 better and it is smaller ...
The 105 has the newer Palm OS 3.5 (which is quite good) vs. 3.1 (which sucks).
But the Handspring has the extension slot .... although I am not sure I'm ever going to use it ...


cool my first poll ever ... and it's working!

I have both.. a 8 mb deluxe and m105 ( recently) the deluxe crashes like a beeeach... it sux and you'll never use those modules, they're useless.. I had an eye module for camera but sold it after a while.

trust me , m105 is much better.. wont crash...

and i can't get rid of the deluxe.. its worthless and no one wants it.

He's looking at a visor deluxe, which is found for under $100, and a M105, which is priced pretty low as well, and you reccomend him an ipaq? Strange way of thinking there

i was just going to post the exact opposite. my palm crashed all the time, and my visor was always dependable. plus, i didn't like the small screen on the palm (but that's personal preference.)

but it's all moot now, as i own a monocrome ipaq, which i picked up for $130. pocketpc is better than palmos, imho.

Until now I have always been using my trusty old m100 (and I really like it ... except the 2MB memory)
I think i will go with the m105 ... unless someone really can impress me with some technical detail about the Visor ...

i think i tried enuff pda..
own the followings

palm iiix
palm 105
palm 500
handspring visor deluxe - 3 of these (a blue, ice, regular black)
handspring visor platnium - 1 of these
ipaq 3135
ipaq 3765
sony clie 610

my palm never crashes, though i hate palm os to death, even my ipaq piece of crap locks up like crazy but than again, i'm doing wireless on it and all these other stuff..

the platnium doesn't crash as much but still does.. the biggest crasher is the visor deluxe ice.. the blue and black doesn't crash as much but it still does..

the sony clie still haven't crash yet..

anyway coolvariable.. i have a new palm m105 that i can offer you for 50 bucks.. i got it for free from my dell order.. so if you're insterested in saving money.. let me know.. i have the receipt too from dell.. anyway it's new, sealed.. if you dont want it.. i'm gonna ebay it to the rest of the world for higher price.. i have pretty good heatware and i'm known to give away expensive stuff (like i did a xbox to an user here for free last year.. new and stuff) so let me know..

thank you very much forcesho,
but that's the price I would get it for anyhow (and you could get more for it on ebay )... I'm probably going to get the m125 now because of the SD-/MMC-Slot.
(and it would cost me only ~$40 more ...)

 

[Vegito]

i went to the store and forgot the model... is the 125 the color one that looks like the 105 ? with sd slot ?
i might get one of those for the kiddies

 

[coolVariable]

no, the m125 is the black and white one with the SD slot ... the m130 is the color version.

BTW. After all the research I got a Sony Clie PEG S300 ... it has 8MB internal memory and a 8MB memory stick was included ... => 16MB even cheaper than the m125 ...
