User Submitted Casio Cassiopeia EM-500 Color Pocket PC (Sky Blue) ReviewsDate: 2002-06-24 Power problems plague EM-500 I bought my EM-500 last fall and have had to send it back twice now for repairs. For some reason, out of the blue, it just refuses to either turn on, or remain on after a few minutes. There is a power update that I installed when I first got it but it doesn't seem to fix the problem at hand. If you're looking for dependency and reliablity, I defiantly wouldn't recommend the EM-500. I've lost all my data twice now (partly my fault because I didn't do a backup).

Date: 2002-06-21 Can't wait to get it... i've just ordered an em-500 and am very excited to get it. I can't wait to get this device and see what it can do. so far, the reviews have been great and i am very anxious to try it. i will get back when i receive my device.... Date: 2001-12-01 A waste of money I both like and hate my Casiopia. From a hardware perspective, it is great. The display and color is wonderful and I love the buttons. Also, unlike the Palms, they didn't waste 1/3 of the screen on a typing space so you can see more on the screen. What I hate about it is the software. As always, Micro$oft makes (...) software that is slow and propriatary. I cannot get anything non-Microsoft to work very well. I tried to get the Franklin Covey software to work and it wreaks havoc on my task lists. When I called about it, I was told that Microsoft keeps changing things and they couldn't keep up. Also, when I asked around about other software I find that the selection is abysmal. It takes about 30 minutes to synch. And if the first of the two batteries is low, it won't let you use it (it turns itself off as soon as you turn it on) even though the second battery is full. Hey Casio! Ever think of using Linux? I don't know if I would rather have the Casiopia or a Palm. I love the screen size but I hate the software. I think I will wait for the Cell Phone/PDA combos to come down in price.
