User Submitted Sharp OZ-290HII Pen Touch Wizard Organizer with Outlook Sync Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-06-09 After 4 years of usage... I used the OZ-290H, the precursor to 290HII. Used it for four years and now the screen has gone all flaky on me-- many of the numbers and digits wont appear at all on the entry pad. So I am now going for HII. Four years of regular usage is good enough for me. So my feedback is on the earlier 290H model which I think is mostly valid for this model too. Plan to modify this feedback once I get my 290HII. PS: Got the 290 HII model and it is the same as the 290H. No difference whatsoever as far as I can see. I use it for: 1. Phone #s, addresses, etc. 2. Memo: Take short notes, like some shop names, passwords, note of books to buy, etc. Pros: 1. Cheap, light-weight, and easy to use. Never lost the stylus. 2. Does all the basic organizer functions that I need. 3. Many a times I use my fingers and not the stylus and it works ok. 4. Battery life for my usage (about twice a day) is about 2 yrs. 5. Computer backup is great. I backup once in 6 months or so. 6. Nicely fits into my pocket without a bulge. 7. Has a sturdy flip top to protect the screen. 8. 1MB or so of memory is more than enough. I ended up using about 25% after 4 years of gathering all the information + adding from 3-yrs worth from my old YO Sharp organizer. But then, I never worked in 'Sales' or customer contact. Cons: 1. Cannot backup to my Vista computer. So I use my XP laptop for this. 2. The memo feature limits the character entry. I find this annoying being used to their earlier YO digital diaries. Not such a big deal. 3. Information backup is not in an easy-to-use/modify excel/word file. I get a .bak file for backup that I cannot easily open. BUT, it allows me to 'export' in .csv format each of the sections. 4. Kind of clunky-- especially with no backspace and 'enter' (new-line) button. Date: 2008-02-18 Stop Consider : Very Poor Quality I am very sorry to say that this light attractive electronic organizer looks good but stopped working after ONLY THREE(3)DAYS!!! The unit was in the "protective" carrycase when I accidentally dropped it from a height of TWO(2)feet. I thought nothing of it until the next time I needed the unit. Half the screen was blank and could not be restored. It is very inexpensive and it appears to LIVE DOWN to the price. Date: 2007-12-26 Refurbished need more Re Take care in purchasing the factory refurbished, although they look new they may still be unuseable. Date: 2007-10-30 Good but missing key ingredient This is a good product for keeping track of your daily appointments. The one bad thing about it is that it is not compatible with outlook 2007. I am guessing that it is compatable with other versions of outlook. The seller was reluctant to answer my questions about compatibility. They did give me a return authorization to sent it back. I did keep the product because it is a good product. The upgrade is coming out in mid 2008 according to Sharp products. Date: 2007-10-18 Love It Easy to use, covers all the bases. A useful product at a reasonable price! Couldn't live without it now.
