I heard that this weekend Best Buy is giving away a $75 gift card with the purchase of a Handspring Neo.

Not a bad deal, based on:
handspring-neo

I really like the 'edge', got in on office depot deal last month.

what is the difference between the neo and the deluxe, beside the kolor?? i thought last month deal from OD was the deluxe and not the edge.

Visor Neo is based on Palm OS 3.5 and thus supports 4-bit grayscale (16 shades of gray) and provides sharper, crisper graphics.

The OD ActiveLink/Visor deal was a Visor Deluxe (8meg - 4greyshade screen) USB sync cradle.


Not a bad unit for fiddy bucks.

The neo is twice as fast as the deluxe in processor speed. Neo also has PalmOS v3.5 while deluxe is v3.1. Not a huge difference there except some software requires 3.5 or higher. Also the graphics details are different as was mentioned.

just got one today, had a $50 gift card from the nokia deal in november and i've wanted a pda for a couple years but never got one. seems like a great lower end pda deal. not as slick as others out but it's a fraction of the price. ended up paying $45 for it. and i have another giftcard for the next hot deal. hold onto it until there's a sweet deal on a next generation radeon.

Bump! I also went for this deal. Having a gift card to cover some of the cost was a big factor for me. I got in on the $40? Visor Solo last June but I cracked the screen 2 months ago and have been lost since. This is great cause it's twice as fast and 4 times the memory Plus I have a 56k thinmodem ($10) for it from another hot deal a few months ago. Now if I can find a good deal on a memplug springboard unit.

You might try getting Best Buy to pricematch for a lower price on the Neo, and then you should still receive the giftcard. There are several merchants listed on ZDNet's pricegrabber that offer lower prices, all the way down to $148. I don't know if BB would honor their prices, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I have a New Minstrel S wireless modem that works with this for sale. $55 which includes shipping.

Just picked up mine today!
Talked with the guy selling them. He said that to PM you would have to give up the giftcard to get a match... Not sure how bad they will stick to their story when you don't have the card any more and you DO still have the 30 days to PM.
