Sharp Beats Franklin Products Hands Down!
The Sharp PW-E550 is way better than anything I ever got from Franklin in the past. Unfortunately, Franklin has pretty well had the market on handheld electronic devices for too long, and must have the worst customer service of any company in the world! I've never dealt with people so rude and unreasonable in my life, and I will NEVER buy any of their products again. I certainly hope Franklin continues to receive some much needed competition with better products and much better customer service.
Dictionary To Go
This dictionary was purched for an advanced ESL student.
Perfect!
I've only had this dictionary/thesaurus for one day, and its all-around perfectness has driven me to write this review. Sharp really does include the full contents of each book in this device!

Disappointing.
I bought my Tungsten E about 2 months ago to replace my dead Zire 31. At first, it seemed pretty good, but it all went downhill from there.
Not too bad
I have had a tungsten e for almost 2 years. (My previous Handspring died in an auto accident.)I haven't had any real problems. It mostly does what it is supposed to. My biggest issue is that the charger is not dual voltage and a meager 90 day warrenty. My daughter has a tungsten e. Her power switch broke. The cost of repair is such that it cheaper to by a new one. I was able to disasemble the device ( no help from the Palm website ) and solder a broken contact back in place. Quite a feat with an old Radio Shack soldering iron. So far it still works.
Does What It's Supposed To Do
have used various models of Palms since the mid 90s. the Palm replaced my Franklin planner many years ago.

Franklin CWP-206 Crossword Puzzle Solver
Invaluable tool for crossword puzzles. It makes cheating a lot more fun.. :-)

Franklin Crossword Puzzle Solver
This unit is larger than the previous unit.Not as easy to hold but easier to see.It uses regular batteries and is less expensive to maintain.Hope it lasts as long as the last one.

OUT OF TROUBLE AGAIN
My wife is a crossword nut who doesn't do well with Saturday and Sunday's New York Times crossword puzzles.I think the Times puzzles gets crappier as the week progresses with clues having as little to do with the solution as fast food has anything to do with proper nutrition or as the 'Republican' noise machine has anything to do with integrity and honesty.She likes them nonetheless and it does give me more free time as the week develops while she clamors through her various aids (cheat devices) to uncover a word that is and remains clueless.Lazy or incompetent puzzle producers get by through teaching puzzlers code words that link other more meaningful words as answers that make folks feel smarter once they master the code.She loves the 206 and says it "Kicks butt" ...thanks ...

Great - battery life EXCELLENT!
To put everyone's mind at ease, BATTERY DRAIN PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED (you simply have to do a few steps to fix it).BATTERY LIFE IS EXCELLENT once you complete the fix(I can go several days on standby and still have well over 80% battery power left).
Battery Drain Solution
Just thought I'd add this bit for people who suffer the battery drain problem. This happens when you have an SD card inserted and a working Activesynch connection. It has something to do with constantly monitoring the card's output.
greatest decision ever
I love it what more can I really say about it. i've had it for over a month a month and I absolutely luv it. connected with wifi and it is flawless. just superb performance overall. a little pricey, but well worth it. ... Read more

great medium-level palm
got the zire 72 ~2 years ago, replaced with t/x 12/05 (see my review on it). thought i should still write a review because i thought it was a great palm overall.
Palm sized power
I had a Palm III followed by a Palm V and I was pretty pleased with both these older model PDAs. After some study, I opted for a Palm Zire 72 and I am very pleased with the features.
Problems from the beginning
I bought this device because I loved that I could use it for both work and personal fun.I bought it in September 2004, and by January 2005, I'd returned it because the blue paint was peeling off.PALM was pretty awful to deal with.It was returned to me in April or May.When they did return the device, it would not sync properly.I called PALM and they gave me the run around, telling me it was my PCs problem, my company's problem, etc.They wouldn't take it back.Then the warranty expired and they wouldn't take it back, and quite frankly I was exhausted by the whole thing and stopped using it for a couple of months.Finally, in January 2006 I decided just to use it for its organizational tasks and forget the syncking.Now, June 7, that just broke and I am throwing it away. ...

Great Little PDA
I recently purchased the Sharp OZ-590A at a local office supply chain for $49.95 and it did exactley what I needed to do. I am a pool service and repair contractor and I needed an organizer to store all my customers contact info and addresses, along with some of my suppliers info as well. I set the date and clock on the unit, plugged it into the supplied USB cable and downloaded my Outlook contacts info. It worked flawlessly! It even downloaded the notes entered with each contact. All your Outlook info such as contacts, appointments etc. will download into it or you can upload from the unit to Outlook as well. It gives you home,office,fax and mobile phone numbers as well as email address too. It has a calender, appointment scheduler, anniversary & birthday reminders and evan a language phrase book and translater which you can choose not to download from the CD rom if you wish.You can even download your emails and read them on the go. If like me, you just need a basic organizer for contact info and schedule reminders, this unit can not be beat! Recommend highly.

Amazing for the price !!!
I recently bought this PDA for 49.99 since my (paid $120 and less than one year old ) palm zire 31 screen started acting up. This is exactly what I was looking for since I only use a PDA for contacts and storing personal info.
PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY
I have been a user of PALM for several years and now am retired, but find that using a handheld is part of my life.I don't need a handheld with a lot of bells and whistles, but this no doubt is one of the worst ones I have come across.I changed batteries at least three times upon receiving this personal organizer and it still didn't work....a hint of things to come.

NOT compatible
I am not a tech 'saavy" person.I found it extremely dificult to begin using my unit.I wasted HOURS of my life on hold and on the phone with tech support trying to trouble shoot the problems.The first dude was okay helpful, but it didn't matter, because after a 62 minute phone call (including 30 minutes of hold time) still the unit was not functioning.The next 2 cust service people decided that it could be the cord, so each of them sent me out a new cord- which was not the problem.The next dude was much more knowledgeable and we found out that my processor, because it is not intel, was not compatable-that is after I also found out that the disc they send is DVD, not CD, so I was already using my daughters computer to attempt to load the disc.So in the end, I was able to copy the DVD onto the hard drive then copy to the card reader.But of course, I have still not loaded active sync and therefore I cannot back up or save any contact or calender info.I was told from Garmin that if the batteries die then all your contact and calender info is deleted.I can buy an additional backup system and back the info up to the SD card, but I will have to borrow a friend's compatible computer to do that!!!!
Nice idea but buggy software
I bought this unit as a gift for my wife. We already have a Garmin GPS unit that we love and she had a need for PDA functionality so this seemed ideal.
I love it
This is better than I expected with large software interface buttons and loud speaker.The only thing is...if you are not familiar with GPS devices, it may take you a little while to figure out how the antenna aquires a signal. ... Read more

Best pda you can ever own!
Best pda you can have if you want the basics. It only has 1mb of memory if your thinking that 1mb on a handheld makes it worthless...its not! 1mb is overkill for it not only that but it has a built in keyboard,backlight,flip cover,2 games,the batterys last unlike normal battery powerd handhelds,you can drop it from 2 storys onto hard wood and it still works,built in english spell checker,english to spanish tanslater,alarm clock & its only 20 bucks. If your new to pdas or just looking for a cheap little back up this is the one.

Totally Awesome!!!!!!!!
This Sharp YO-P20HII organizer is the best of the best. It has everything. If you are my age, 13, than this is the thing for you. It traslates English to spanish, it connects to Outlook, there is a calculator, memos, etc. If you have 20 bucks and you dont know what to buy, buy this. You will definitely not regret it.

Good buy
After reading the previous reviews on this organizer I purchased one myself. The one thing I would like to comment on that others did'nt is that this model only comes with a serial port hookup, so if you have a newer computer or laptop without a serial port your going to be looking for a cheap serial to usb converter like i did. Make a note! ... Read more
