Customer Reviews

A Great Jump Start for the New Visor User

Color me old-fashioned, but I like to read about a new tool as I'm learning to use it. With a product as useful as the Visor, I'd REALLY like to master it. And I'm impatient. So having a handy guide nearby was a real blessing. I actually didn't find the PDF user guide on the Visor's CD until months after I'd been using the device. The Visor is a wonderful product, but the packaging assumes some intuitive leaps (like including the manual on the CD, without any prompts to open or print it). This book was a godsend. Enough humor to get you through the detail, and good insights to save some aggravation. Worth the money. Definitely.

Should have come in the box!

I inherited a Visor Deluxe (green, very cool). Because there aren't many other Visor books out there, I bought this one. I don't understand what the other reviewers are talking about, this is an excellent book. I now know things about the built in programs that I didn't know before, and I've learned about the amazing number of third-party programs and products that I didn't even know existed. Seriously, ignore the people who give this one or two stars - they are crazy. If you have a Visor, you should get this book!

This book should come with all Handspring Visors!

This book is filled with all the information you need on doing tricks with your Handspring. I wish I purchased this book at the same time as my Handspring Visor. But although I used my Visor for a full month before reading the book, there was a lot of information that I learned.At the price of this book, I would highly recommend everyone to purchase this book at the same time that they buy their Visor. The online manual that comes with the Handspring Visor sucks compared to this book.The only downfall to this book was the outdated material concerning the available Springboard modules. But that's how technology will be, always outpacing the books that are written. But I find that information not pertinent to affect my rating of this item.Please do yourself a favor, buy this book!

Should replace the manual...

Especially since there is no real manual with the Visor, only the PDF document, this should replace it. The authors are both witty and informative. And the information is exactly what is needed for the new owner of a Handspring Visor. My only wish would be that this book be included in the box when you buy a new Visor.

This is the best Visor book!

This is all the information that should be included when you buy your visor! Most companies now package help files on computers and do not include written documentation. I suppose it is cheaper. But shame on them! This is what should be included with the purchase... I had my visor for a few months and this booked helped me with things I didn't know. Excellent information written in a pleasing, even humorous, manner equals a very thourough readable book. I would go so far to say that this is indispensable. I have the book... the dummies guide to the visor and while that was helpful this is much more so. The book for visors "i didnt know you could do that.." is not helpful at all. It is mostly a list of shareware links that are easy to find on the internet or in the two books i meantioned above. Save yourself some wondering and scratching your head...if you have the visor....buy this book!
