User Submitted Sharp Wizard OZ-590A Electronic Organizer Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-05-29 not as good as I thought it would be! I had great hopes for this organizer but although it saves to Microsoft Outlook, it changes the order of the words. Search therefore is difficult in the organizer's address book. It also doesn't allow the user to scroll except by individual name. There used to be better ones! Date: 2007-05-25 Organizes, but..... Very primative. This organizer works to organize information, but it won't sync with my computer. What good is it. If you only need a handheld date book this is the product for you. Date: 2007-04-14 Terrible screen Does what you'd expect an older generation organizer to do. My biggest grip is the extremely hard to read gray LCD screen. It's hard to read in dim or dark rooms even with the backlight, and it's hard to read in brightly lit rooms or outdoors because the glass is highly reflective. Please note that the item pictured on Amazon is the OZ-590 (green) and not the OZ-590A (silver). Date: 2007-03-03 Neat - but doesn't sync with Outlook 2007 I like the minimalist concept - all I need from a PDA is a calendar, contacts and synchronization with Outlook. I am using Outlook 2007, and that is explicitly not supported by the software right now (and not surprisingly, it doesn't work either). Sharp customer support couldn't give me a date for when (if ever) they'd update the software, so I returned it. Date: 2007-02-08 You get what you pay for I got the Sharp Wizard because I just wanted a simple way to organize my calendar and to-do list without spending tons of money on a bunch of functions I didn't need and won't use (aka a Palm Pilot or Blackberry). In the beginning I was pleased with this product. But over time I noticed that it has some serious flaws in the way in synchs up to microsoft outlook. It duplicates tasks and meetings, erases some meetings and keeps others, and sometimes things you've added to the Wizard won't show up on Outlook after you've synched it. It's a nice little product if you're not thinking of hooking it up to a computer - once you do that though it becomes more of a pain than anything. Not only that but recently I've found that a synch will succeed about once every five tries. Otherwise it just sits in "preparing schedule" mode for literally 20 minutes before the synch is terminated by the system. Folks just spend the money and get something better. I give it 2 stars because it's easy to use and the layout of the functions is simple. However the task list slips out of "date due" order all the time and just lists them in seemingly random order. There's no way to sort tasks other than "done" or "pending". If you sort by date in outlook it rarely shows up that way on the Wizard. Also schedules on the wizard are listed by day - but each day doesn't show the date on it. So if you're looking at several days worth of meetings you can't tell what day of the week you're looking at. Lastly - the memory just isn't enough. I've had the unit about 4 weeks and haven't put that much in it and already it's down to 75% free space. That's just not enough. I would not recommend this product.
