Handspring Visor Serial Hotsync Cradle (Ice)

I needed a replacement Handspring Visor PDA and cradle--- Yes, I know they are not the rage of today, but some of us couldn't live without one. Fortunately, I found a almost-new Handspring Visor from Ed's PDA 'n More here on Amazon. Great price, prompt delivery, and great followup. It is obvious that Ed has a passion for good service,and his goal is for every customer to be satisfied. He has much more than PDA's-- good variety of current favorites and scarce oldies. Thanks, Ed.I'll be back.

Purchase was a gift. Received in a timely manner, what they wanted.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Hey, it works. Plus it matches the visor. But if your machine doesn't have USB, you don't have a choice. You HAVE to buy this. May as well get it right away.

I have a Serial at work and a USB at home. Both are perfect. 2 years and no flaws. Well done Handspring! Buy it!
