Very good coverage and easy to use
All you do is plug it into the Visor and away you go. It downloads your messages.

unbundle
i'll change my vote to yes when they unbundle the module. either handspring or glenayre really screwed up and i just wish one of them would admit it.

Cool unit!
I like the fact that I can plug in a different Handspring module but still receive my e-mail. I also like the affordable $25 plan with Skytel. The software is pretty easy to use too.

Nice programming interface
I've written code to interface with this module, and I have to give Glenayre props for having a nice, simple API for programming the device in C. I hope to see some very interesting applications developed for it soon.

easy to use
active link is an easy to install and easy to use addition to the spring. Ugly no doubt, but available now and it functions as represented. First generation now, will get sleeker and better looking on the next model, I would guess.

A great begining for a PDA
The concept of the Visor is smart allowing for so many applications to work on one device. Sure I would like it all one unit, but hey thats years away. In the meantime the wireless Activelink is great. My demands have been to accept email, stock info, and wre testing small amounts of data. I work generally outside my office where we are considering purchasing the Visor for the whole company, with reflex transmission or Activelink using Skytel at this point far better in coverage, range and ensured message delivery. We found RIMM in the end not able to carry all the demands we can get from the Visor and yes I type on the the Visor, RIMM is a pain. Rimm on the hand is sure pretty, it is on the other hand just a pretty pager. Its been only two weeks but so far very pleased or maybe better said suprised. Sorry for the first time buyers that omit the sheild not wise on the part of Handspring.Also found the unit a little stiff fitting onto the Visor.

Great way to connect your Visor.
Using Infobeam and Beamlink is the greatest. The coverage from Skytel is really good. I really think this is a great product.

A visionary product
that predates the VisorPhone and other "smart phones'" wireless expansion of PDA's. Handspring no doubt benefited from shielding lessons learned with the @ctiveLink enough to enable the launching of their own VisorPhone.
