Don't buy - doesn't work, period
Customer Rating: 




I purchased one organizer, not expecting much due to the price, but I only need a simple calendar/phone book. For some reason, two of them were shipped to me. I was getting ready to return one right away and my husband jokingly said "maybe they shipped you two because they know it's not going to work anyway."
I inserted the batteries and pressed the reset button, just as the instructions state in the user's guide. Nothing happened -- no power. So, then I tried to install the desktop manager on my laptop and it wouldn't install; I kept getting an error message and it would immediately exit the install.
So, I opened up shipment number two. Again, it wouldn't power up and I could not install the desktop manager. I know it's not a problem with my laptop -- I am able to install other programs. I went out and purchased two new batteries, thinking that the store in NJ sent dead batteries to me. Again, it would not power on even with new batteries installed.
Even if I were to get this device working, this is a really bad indication of the reliability of the product. I didn't expect much, but I at least expected power. I am definitely returning both of them and will go to an actual electronics store to purchase a real organizer.
This purchase made me cry...for joy!

Sharp OZ-290HII Pen Touch Wizard Organizer with Outlook Sync This purchase was so quick, easy, and inexpensive, that I EXPECTED whole-heartedly that something WOULD just have to go wrong, be wrong, or just flat out be disasterous about it. Ever heard of the saying that starts out, "If it's too good to be true..."? This order gave me that feeling so strongly that when the package was delivered(ahead of schedule, mind you) I expected that I would immediately be on the phone to "bless" a customer service representative with my very pointed opinion of the product. After toying around with my electronic gizmo (I just LOVE IT!!!), I was so impressed with the organizer while at the same time feeling rather ashamed of my cynical attitude that I had nursed along while anticipating the worst, that I was overwhelmed with joy, elation, and a prevading sense that I should have been, at the least, expecting the cup to be "half full". Tears of joy ran down my face as I realized that not everything in the world that appears to good to be true actually winds up being truly just too good to be true. Oh yeah, if you fell for the part of my review that told of tears of joy running dowm my face, I would like to also inform you that I am taking major investment capital offers for a beachfront property project I am developing on a tract of land near a corn farm in Nebraska (smile). Honestly though, the whole experience was a very good one. I highly recommend the product, the vender, and the always awesome people of Amazon.com. Be warned, all shop-aholics...you may need to attend a meeting or two before accessing the product link above. It would be wise to have the strength to not take out a large portion of your family nest-egg to satisfy your cravings while navigating through the sites of the vender and Amazon.
FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE PRODUCT ITSELF: I was quite surprised by the ease of navigation through the various functions of the organizer. The sensitivity of the touch screen was just right for this user...it was not too sensitive, yet not needing a heavy hand either. The memo, calander, reminder, task, and calculator functions are just a few of the great features this baby holds. Since I live in a heavily Latino region of the US with limited proficiency in Spanish, the English to Spanish (and vice versa) translator option will be duly abused. The backlight function is nearly bright enough to serve as a flashlight. The reason I have to say "nearly" is because I do not want to be responsible for somebody opting to kill two birds with one stone when they are in need of an electronic organizer and a flashlight. You could pull the organizer to help you find a shadowed keyhole or two, just don't trust it for camping applications, okay? The organizer's ease of use and functionality make this purchase the consummate "steal" type of bargain.
