User Submitted Sharp OZ-290HII Pen Touch Wizard Organizer with Outlook Sync Reviews (cont...)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. Date: 2007-09-17 hard to use After hours of trying everything in the manual, online and customer support I am still unbale to link this device to my computer. Without Outlook one cannot view a schedule, you can only set an alarm. Not very useful to a busy mom. I was really looking for a way to keep up my calendar. It is nice looking and I am sure if I could link it it may even be a good electronic calendar. I guess the bottom line is - you get what you pay for...I will try to unload mine at a garage sale Date: 2007-07-29 Sharp Organizer The screen is hard to see in many daylight conditions and the screen backlight does not help. In expense mode your memo has to be very brief. There are way to many steps to learn to us this in various modes. I had a Sharp yo 370 with a keyboard for 12 years until it went bad and liked very much. No comparison in ease of use between the two and the info you could enter in expense mode. I will be looking for a keyboard organizer again soon. Date: 2007-07-25 Worth Every Bit of the Money I have used this organizer for 2-3 years to store and back up my contacts and it worked great. The other day it stopped working after I changed the batteries. I had ignored the low battery messsage for a while - maybe that was my mistake. But I had backed up the data to MS Outlook before I changed the batteries - phewwww! Synchronizing with Outlook is not the easiest but it works. Since I did not want to mix the Sharp data with my Outlook address book (which is mostly for email addresses), I created another address book in Outlook. The software will synch only with the main address book, so I had to copy the main AB to another folder before I synched the data to Outlook and then copy out the Sharp data to another folder and return the main address book to the "Contacts" folder. Because I want to look up names by the first name, I store the first and last name in the last name field. Now I need to buy something else and want to find a cell phone that allows me to synch the data to my PC. The problem with that is the cell phone would have to have a reasonable keyboard. I refuse to enter names on a number pad. With the Sharp 290 - I used the touch screen keyboard without any trouble. Can anyone recommend a cheap cell phone that has a keyboard that is not much money? I am also considering the Sharp 590 organizer for $38.
