2/23    What are the cons to getting a Handspring?
        \_ the case construction is a bit weaker than palm.
        \_ Can't rev. the firmware. Lack of flash ROM sux.
           \_ Not the case so much as the cover.  I gave my Palm III to my
              girlfriend and bought a Visor Deluxe to replace it.  Aside from
              the cover, zero complaints.  Arrived in under a week, it's fast,
              has a nice screen, tons of memory, and cost a lot less than a
              Palm V.  True, it has the Palm III form factor rather than the
              sexy Palm V, but I was more than willing to give that up for the
              major price difference.  My advice: Go for it, but be sure to
              buy an upgraded cover at the same time.  -mogul
        \_ how is the color?
        \_ Everything in here is wrong except the bits about
           "fast", "girlfriend", and "replace".
