2.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea, Lousy Pen, September 9, 2000

This is a great idea that wasn't developed to its full potential.

Pros: You don't have to carry a separate pen around. The back end screws off and reveals a needle that can be used to reset the Visor. It slips into the existing stylus holder on the Visor.

Cons: Shorter and lighter than the stock stylus, which was an annoyance both in my hand and in the holder. The writing action (ink and roller) of the pen is horrible! A 49-cent Bic pen writes much better than this. For $14.00 I was expecting something of higher quality. Fortunately I bought this at a local store and was able to return the product the next day.

Bottom Line: It isn't nearly worth the $13.95 it costs. Save your money and buy a better pen/stylus combo, or look for Pilot Pen's T3200 pen/stylus (retail $7.99).

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice pen but a little small, September 21, 2000

I recently got my visor pen stylus, and I like it. I use it with the newer version of the handspring belt clip (It's not really different, just a little taper in at the bottom) and it works great. If I am standing around and need a pen I just feel for the stylus and whip it out! My only complaints are, the pen is a little thin but you can't really help that because otherwise it would not fit in the silo, and the reset pin is a little more flimsy than the one in the original stylus that came with my Visor Deluxe. I don't know about the Graphite ones though. I have had previous pen stylus combos, (Pentopia) and this one feels less likely to break than they did. It seems as if they had more brittle plastic. But anyways, if you often find yourself needing a pen but don't have one around and you carry your visor with you places...GET IT!

OK. It works. That's about all you can say. The back screws off to reveal a flimsy reset pin. To expose the pen, you have to remove a tiny cap. It stores temporarily on the back, but I will probably lose it pretty soon. It's too tiny and black. The pen writes roughly. Good for a quick signature, but not much else.
