Pros: Cheap, outlook sync, lots better than paper

Cons: gets hard to type on after a while

I actually had a Wizard oz290h, but they're extremely similar and Yahoo doesn't have my product. After months of papers and post it notes getting lost or washed, i decided i wanted something electronic. I thought about a palm, but i wasn&#...39;t ready to shell out my entire wallet for one. I went to Radio Shack, and decided on this. I absolutely loved it!! Mostly what I used it for was basically carrying my Outlook data around with me wherever I went. I wrote my homework down in it too. They're great value for your money. For 30 bucks or whatever, you can stick this great organizing tool in your pocket and expect it to live for at least 6 months. I had mine throughout the 6th grade and some of the 7h, and it survived multiple falls out of my gym locker, being stepped on, and even being thrown by my little brother. What finally killed it was being bent by my brother. It's screen shattered. The only problem I had with it was the screen. All together, the screen could've been designed a bit better. It was kind of hard to read that thing, and the the little keyboard thing went 'soft' after about 6 months. By the end of its life, it had gotten really hard to input data into it. Still, i reccommend this to anyone with a few bucks and the need to organize. Throw the dayrunner out the window - it's time for something new! Read more Less
