User Submitted Sharp YOP20HII 1MB Electronic Organizer Reviews (cont...)Date: 2004-08-08 Eh, it's all right. I recently bought this organizer to keep up with my new schedule as a grad student and teaching assistant and to keep from lugging around a big leather planner. I can be sort of scatterbrained, so I really needed something like this. Maybe you'll like it more than I do, but here's what I think. The best feature of the device is its ability to sync with Microsoft Outlook. That way, you just enter schedule and address book info into your PC and import it to the organizer. The software that allows this, included with the organizer, isn't the most user-friendly I've ever seen, but it's adequate. I like the idea of pen-thouch screens, and my mom has a Palm Zion, so I've used them before. This one isn't all that great though, because sometimes if you angle the pen to input something, you end up triggering the wrong things. It's also very hard to see sometimes, because the on screen buttons are so teeny-tiny. I'd also like to have seen something a little bit more self-explanatory. I'm having a hard time figuring out certain features. Maybe I'm idealistic, but I think things like this ought to be really simple to operate. Learning which menu does what is taking longer than I expected, and when to hit "edit" and when to hit "enter," things like this. I'm pretty good at learning new computer systems, but for some reason this device is working on me. In short, if you've got the money, spend it on a Palm. If you don't, I'd shop around before I picked this up on a whim. Date: 2004-07-07 Great little organizer! After years & years of carrying a planner (I'm pretty much a completely obsessive-compulsive person when it comes to organization - at least that's what I've been told), I finally decided to break down and try an electronic organizer. It just seemed like it would be so much easier to grab and go instead of my big planner (which I love by the way.) I knew I couldn't afford a Palm or any similar PDA so I decided to do some research. Realistically, I figured I wouldn't need to do 1/2 of the stuff some of the more expensive PDA's were offering - I really just needed the basics - telephone/address, to do, memo, and a calendar - which was everything my paper planner had. If you're this type of a person, this organizer is probably for you! Another review suggested checking out Radio Shack, and I'm glad I did. There happened to be 2 more left on clearance for $17.97 (I also got a basic leather case there on clearance for $9.99). It's only been 1 day, and I'm so glad I bought this model. What a great value for the price! My only complaint is exactly what another reviewer said - you can only put the address on one line. Once you get used to that, it's pretty much a breeze to figure out. I've only looked at the manual (which is pretty comprehensive) briefly because a lot of the functions and buttons are pretty self-explanatory. All-in-all, I'm so happy with my purchase!
