Amazon.com Product Description
Why wait to get home to HotSync, check your e-mail, or get the latest news and stock updates? The CardAccess Thinmodem allows you to turn your Handspring into a fully functional Internet computer when you're on the road--without adding bulk and hassle. With the CardAccess Thinmodem Springboard Module, you can link your Handspring handheld computer to the Internet via any phone line. The size of a matchbook, this hardwired modem connects you to a phone line at 33.6 Kbps for quick and painless Internet access. It's also easily upgradable to the 56K V.90 modem protocol for ultrafast downloads. Designed to slip easily into your Handspring's Springboard expansion slot, this tiny modem needs no setup or configuration and is fully removable. Its energy-efficient design is a minimal drain on your Handspring's batteries, and it won't take up any RAM memory space on your Visor. The Thinmodem is compatible with the Handspring Visor, Visor Deluxe, Visor Prism, Visor Platinum, and Visor Edge models. It measures only 2.25 by 2.125 by 0.30 inches--and since it barely increases the profile of your Handspring, you can still use most cases. The Thinmodem comes with onboard HotSync, e-mail, and Web-browsing software for easy connection to your Internet provider. It's color compatible, and you can view the Web on a Visor Prism with the included 16-bit color Browse-it 1.0 browser. The Thinmodem also comes with MultiMail for checking e-mail. The software is plug and play--no downloads or configuration are necessary. Just hook up your modem and get ready to surf. A 6-foot phone cord with male RJ-11 connector is included for easy hookup. View your modem status on your Visor's screen with real-time data rates and connection status. A battery indicator display tells you when you're running low on juice, and the modem sounds a call-in-progress speaker tone as it connects. In addition to its small size, the Thinmodem features low-voltage circuitry that consumes one-third less power than similar modems. This feature saves battery power, ensuring that you won't power down in the middle of a download. The Thinmodem's built-in 500 KB of flash memory allows you to keep up with software upgrades to your modem.To upgrade to 56K/V.90 speed, visit the CardAccess Web site (www.cardaccess-inc.com/upgrade_21a.html) and download the software update.

 Great product January 13, 2002
I got my Thinmodem [and it] is a great deal! Anyways, it performs great. The only two drawbacks are that 1) even though i have flashed it to the latest version that supports 56k, mine connects at 28.8. I have emailed the company inquiring about this though. 2) It requires a special adapter to connect rather than the standard RJ-11 plug plugging directly into the springboard. Therefore, I can't simply carry around my visor. If I intend on using the modem, I'd have to take an extra cable which i tend to forget to do.
It really comes in handy to be able to check email, browse the web, and even get on AIM when I have access to a phone line away from home.
Tip for using the Thinmodem December 31, 2001

My Thinmodem works great but I had some difficulty with Blazer and other web and mail programs. When I found Eudora, however, I deleted all those other modem programs. Eudora works easily and is easy to learn; it has better features than Blazer and is free. If you're satisfied with your modem programs, good for you, but if you haven't chosen modem programs, try Eudora.
It just works August 27, 2001

I needed an inexpensive, reliable wireline modem for my Visor. After seeing a collegue struggle with the well-documented battery problems with the Xircom, I bought the Thinmodem, and I've been very happy. This modem is easy to set up, includes good software (MultiMail is more functional than the included E-mail package, but this works just fine for simple text messages), and handles noisy phone lines without problems. The modem is sold as 33K, but once you buy it, run-don't walk- to the manufacturer's website for the free firmware upgrade to 56K. I wish I'd gotten the thinModem Plus -- A great value with 8M of memory included.
I am Very Satisfied !! March 27, 2001

I just Bought the Thinmodem about 4weeks ago ,and I have to say I am V/Satisfied with the preformance, I used my local ISP and it works fine ,also The Web Browsing works pretty good and I log onto Hotmail to send and recieve E-mails ,the web environment takes a little bit to get used to but you figure it out pretty quick, also the web site Mapquest works fine when you are traveling . I like to keep in touch Using ICQ on my Visor The Instalation of the Thinmodem was a No Brainer that was a Plus !! Overall I think you will enjoy using the Thinmodem and the convenience of using your Visor for surfing, Information or doing Buisness work on the web ! " It's a good toy for your toy hehe :-P and a great conversation starter ! "
