The Visor Edge features a redesigned stylus. Roll over picture for a larger image.

One other thing you should be aware of is that the screen is a little narrower than that of the Visor Deluxe. This means that any existing screen protectors will either have to be cut down or replaced with new versions.

I have only one other minor complaint about the Visor Edge. My pinky finger rubs up against the lower stylus docking area when I use the built-in stylus to write Graffiti. I use Graffiti a lot, and I can see myself getting a callus on my finger from this.

Conclusion
The Visor Edge is a nice addition to the Visor line. At $399, it's definitely targeted at the executive user, and the lack of a built-in Springboard further enforces this. Those people who are looking at buying a Palm m500 or the Palm Vx will want to take a look at the Visor Edge as well. It offers everything those units do, plus a lot more expandability through the use of the Springboard modules. This is one cool PDA.
