Pros: Great for replacing written notes and address books

Cons: I haven't found any reason not to like this yet

Review: I discovered that the key to getting this organizer to sync with a PC is to make sure the clocks are set to the same time. After that it was simple to download the data from the CD. I don't use Outlook, but I'm sure it would sync up too. ...

Pros: Good value, light weight, rugged

Cons: Poor graphics, time consuming operations

Review: Great Value! I got this on ebay for $17 (incl. shipping) It is not the latest technology, but so far is a solid performer. I have been using it for 6 months and it is now handling over 2000 contacts and 200 memos. Good things: - easy to use. excels at ...
