I've got a Visor Deluxe and I like it. Make sure you get the backup module. $40 for peace of mind.

The only downside to the Visor vis-a-vis the Palm is that the Visor's OS can't be upgraded.

 

[KnightWhoSezNee]

Ack! Staples said they won't price match the $225 price because they only compare prices with next day shipping included which is $42.50 here.

 

[avhokie]

More Audio Video shipping prices:

$17 normal
$34 2-day
$42.50 overnight

What kind of crap is that? Also, you can choose from 61 different states to ship this thing to!

 

[KnightWhoSezNee]

Anyone know of somewhere cheaper than $249 with next day shipping included? (It would have to be really cheap).

 

[Seizure]

Even if you don't pricematch the $40 off $200 and the $50 rebate makes the PDA a measly

249 - 40 - 50 = $159. Shipped.

 

[Blakwngbrd]

Am I just blind, or has Amazon pulled this rebate?

 

[Solarbeat]

Hmm now there's another thread going with a link to a rebate that starts 3/2....

Does the Handspring Visor Deluxe come with rechargeable batteries or use alkalines?

 

[MesBoogie]

(2) AAA Alkaline

 

[RossMAN]

Since I heard the alkalines last for 3-4 months? Would it be cost effective to go to Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, CostCo and buy some rechargeable batteries?

How long do rechargeable batteries last compared to regular Duracell's (24 AA for $13 from CostCo)?

 

[Seizure]

Yea, buy some rechargeables, even if you do'nt use it for your PDA you can use it for somethign else.

Seizure - As Blakwngbrd mentioned in his post dated 2/28 3:32 PM you have posted a referral link, I would suggest editing your initial post and replacing it with this clean/non-referral link otherwise suffer the wrath of the Mods (which must have hang overs right now or something):

[Seizure]

all done, and I updated a new link also.

 

[obeny81]

good stuff...hello PDA's!

 

[Seizure]

Has anyone ordered it from staples and gotten confirmation? How much is tax?

 

[MesBoogie]

I ordered one from staples with the $40 off $200 coupon. The tax I paid was 7.75%. The percentage is determined by your location. I live in the Chicago area.

 

[Spoon]

I picked mine up Friday night at my local Staples, just walked in with a printout of the shopping cart with the coupon codes and they rang it up with no problems.

No waiting for me🙂

this thing rocks, Avantgo is incredible

 

[DarkManX]

does the thing come with a USB cable?

 

[MesBoogie]

Better yet, it comes with a USB cradle. It also includes a leather slipcase and batteries. I'm hunting for a good case with a belt clip though.

 

[RossMAN]

I'm hunting for a good case with a belt clip though.

If you find a good case with a belt clip please let us know. Or even a good case without a belt clip, thanks!

 

[MesBoogie]

I found the perfect case for me today while at BestBuy. They didn't have any in stock, but the guy who assisted me had one on. I'd never seen one before. They are available from various places on the web. The case is made by Handspring and is called the Sport Case ($24.95 list). They are neoprene, come in various colors, and have an adjustable belt loop and a lanyard D-ring (great for hooking to belt loops!).

 

[RossMAN]

MesBoogie - That sounds perfect and we have a Best Buy B&M near us. This should sufficiently protect from Visor while in my sister's purse.

Damned with the prices this cheap I wonder if I should pickup a Visor?

 

[MesBoogie]

I'd recommend picking one up if you have a use for it. The staples discount, coupled with the mail-in rebate, is hard to pass up. I offered to buy one for my wife when I bought mine a few days ago. She declined. As soon as I showed her how it could benefit her, she was sold. I'm purchasing another from staples this week.
