This little modem is great. I'm sure the others modems work just as well, but I purchased the modem in an attempt to lighten my load while on business trips. I lugged a laptop around for years, and I found that I only used the laptop to access e-mail. Now I can leave the laptop at home and access my e-mail using this slick little device. [...]

Incredible, a modem that is so small and working faster than a PC modem (even if the Baud rate does not reflect this).
However, the "Browse It" web browser is not functioning anymore so you have to find another web browser. Luckily, "Avant Go" and "Eudora" both offer free options for this.
Up to now (March 2002) this modem has official approval only in a few countries, e.g. the US, but it appears to be working very well also in Guatemala and the Netherlands.
In my experience the support service took a long time to respond but their answer was adequate.

An excellent product, but as stated in the review above, the software that was included did not work. This was easily fixed --- go to Eudora.com, and use their FREE software. The PDA works as good as a laptop for email and nearly as good for web browsing.

This is an excellent module for a Handspring Visor. I got this for my fiancee' for his birthday. It is the only 56K modem available for the Visor and it is the smallest and lightest modem of all. Its additional 8MB of memory makes it even better. The only flaw I saw with it was the browser software it came with did not work well at all. We had to go on Handspring's site and get a different browser. But as far as functionallity and ability, I highly recommend this modem.

Superb out of the box operation.One small problem solved very quickly by help desk.

Great bundled software for the email operation. No more lap top lugging!

Web surfing a bit optimisitc, limited by the display.

Wholehearted recommendation - works abroad too!

I am addicted to e-mail! I admit it! So when I go out of town or if I am on the go...I NEED TO CHECK MY E-MAIL! This card was easy to install and all I had to do was follow the simple step by step on screen instructions. I also downloaded software from my provider that was immediately installed during my next hot sync. I don't browse the internet on this...haven't tried either. But I have used it to gain access to email and instant messaging. I highly recommend this if you are like me..and have to stay connected.
