I hate these people. No 1-800 service number....Go to the website and try to leave feedback...on ANY of thier forms. They don't work. I have had 2 Visor Deluxes - the 1st one died after a week rather suddenly... the second one I have NEVER been able to perform a warm reset on. It always gets stuck in a boot loop and I must hard-reset it and lose my data.
So I have owned 2 Handsprings, both of which were defective. Whenever I want to do anything about this fact, I have to pay to call the service line and sit on hold intermiably. Then they ask me questions like "Sir, are there batteries in the unit?" that make me want to hurt them.
I will never buy from this company again no matter what they come out with. I'm sick of companies pushing out products before the proper QC is done.
dammit.

Well... I own a handspring, and like it, but I lelieve that in thier rush to serve the demands of the market, some QC was overlooked. My first handspring fried itself in the cradle one morning for no particular reason - this was after sporadially going out for a few days, requireing a hard reset, and a subsequent reload of data from my PC. So I went through the "Customer Care" hotline (not a 1-800 number BTW). It took me ~ an hour to get to speak to someone, and then I had to go through all the idiot proofing questions before I could get a return authorization (" Does the Handspring have batteries, sir?") So a week later I get my brand-spankin new one. Well, I guess this one has the %$#@!$ memory error because, while it is fine as long as I play with it, If I leave it alone for more than a week, it crashes, requiring a hard reset. MAye it's just lonely ( I really have no idea if a memory error is to blame for this - but hey, it sounds plausible) So, basically, I should have went with a Palm and shelled out a few more $$$.
