Sharp Electronic Organizer YO-290P

I've used other "touch screen" organizers and found that they have several problems. You will often hit the wrong key or the key will repeat and also they seem to have a lack of features in the lower price range. This organizer suffers from none of these problems though I have found that sometimes the key I press doesn't enter (but at least it doesn't repeat 2 or 3 times).

The size is great (easily fits in my palm), the case is sturdy, the stylus entry is more reliable than any other unit I've seen, the SEARCH FUNCTION for the phone, memo, schedule, etc. Works just as one would expect it to.

There is one thing that it was reported to do that it simply does not. The functions and prompts are supposed to be able to be displayed in 7 languages but on this model only English is available.

All in all a wonderful organizer though. And ...you can't beat the price to feature ratio. This unit is even on par with the data features of my Casio B.O.S.S. ...

If you want to carry a PDA in your pocket, this is it. Simple to organize & store info. I can't leave home without it! Has a backlight for low-light conditions & 43 cities in different time zones. Has a calculator, calendar, schedule, anniversary, memo, expense, & to do mode. It also offers an English-Spanish bi-directional word translator function too. The best thing i like about the SHARP YO-290, comes with a PC Link software & cable which you can exchange data between the Organizer & a PC!

For the money it is a great deal. Why spend hundreds of dollars on something that may get wrecked or stolen? This organizer has all you will need, including games. my advise is to purchase this, and if it gets scratched, it is not a big loss.

I was tired of caring my bulky organizer around, even if it had cool things in it. I needed something that would fit into my purse and be there when I need to write a memo or add a appointment. I needed something small, useful and convienant. I researched and finally decided to buy the YO-290P. I never realized how easy it was to have something like this and I love it! I find all the features of this product useful for me and it was in the right price range for myself. When people ask me how much it was and I tell them the price they don't believe it. That is the quality of this product.If you want a cheap but useful organizer that does just that, organize. The Sharp YO-290P is for you.
