Excellent Choice
By Eaglesong3
It's strange that though amazon claims that this is one of their top sellers that they have very little (and false) information on it.
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. ...

By Eric Paongo
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!

A waste of money for me.
By A Customer
This was my first PDA and I haven't used it for 2 reasons:
1) I can't get my computer to talk to it. Sharp told me a couple of basic things to check - i.e. the com port settings. Since that didn't help me, they told me to contact the PC manufacturer. At this point I have still been unsuccessful. Since I do not want to have to duplicate entries in my computer and PDA, I have not used the PDA.2) Even if my computer was importing and exporting the data, I still have to enter every item very painstakingly one at a time. There was a CSV import feature, so I thought I could put things in another application much quicker and then convert it into a CSV format. However, I was told by Sharp that the file import is for CSV files created from their CE491w software only. So, I asked about getting that application and was told that it wouldn't work on my device.
I had seen the high ratings on this product and thought it must be a good choice. I was excited to get it and use it, so I have been very disappointed. I have never used another PDA to compare it to, but at this point, unfortunately, it was not even worth the low price for me.
