The Best Organizer One Could Buy...
By A Customer
This is a kick a** organizer. I first bought a Franklin Rolodex for $50, but the screen on that was like a mirror. Everytime I opened it I saw less of data and more of myself on the screen. Please be aware of the problems with green display screens on under $100 gadgets. I had to rule out Palm devices because they are too expensive for storing addresses, memo, scheduler etc., I don't travel a lot and usually carry a laptop to access (online or offline) the web and email. So I thought of giving the OZ-770 a try. The first thing that scared me was, it runs Sharp's proprietary operating system and syncs up with Sharp's own DayTimer software. This means that if I move to a Palm or WindowsCE device in the future I'd have to re-enter all the data all over again. Here's the good news: There's a company called Rupplynx that offers a software for free (called RuppLynx Express) that syncs up the OZ-770 with Microsoft Outlook. I've been successfully using this software to sync up all my data to my PC. Most of the handheld devices in the market sync up very well with Microsoft Outlook. With the help of RuppLynx Express I can now migrate to either Palm or WindowsCE or something else anytime. In other words I am not tied to the sharp brand and technology. OZ-770 offers the following features and more:
- phonebook- scheduler- Birthday/Ann.- Calculator- Converter- Calendar- World Clock- Memo- Todo- Downloadable programs (from www.mywizard.com)
OZ-770 also offers loads of configuration options.
As regards to the PROS and CONS of OZ-770 here's what I figured:
PROS:
- Excellent User Interface- Great screen, excellent (wide) display (no glare)- Excellent backlight- Nice and easy to use keyboard- Packed with features (more than what Palm offers)- Loads of Memory (3MB)- Long battery life due to very little power consumption- Very very reasonably priced
CONS:
- Only available in silver color which is spray paint over plastic- Slightly bigger in size to carry around literally everywhere you go
Conclusion:If you don't need offline or online web/email access then OZ-770 is a must buy for anybody looking for an organizer.

By Everett
I have been the owner of two Palm Pilots. They served me well for the many years I owned them.When my Palm went dead after using it for 4 years I decided to look hard at the market. I decided want I really needed and used was Schedule, To Dos and Memos. Beyond that I wanted to select and capture some emails as I found saving all of them and syncing them up was a chore not worth keeping up with. I discoverd the Sharp OZ-770PC. It has everything I need including a much easier to read display and an easy to use keyboard. I also discovered it was easy enough to create a folder in my Outlook for selected emails and using some free ware from MyWizard.com a site provided for users of this organizer I was able to get those selected emails I really needed. I highly recommend this organizer as long as wireless is not your direction and your not buying it to play golf games and such. You can't beat this value, nothing short of remarkable!

By A Customer
...This is an incredible accessory! I know what your thinking, all those new palms, and those Pocket PC's...hey this is great. It has a Calendar, you can go back into the past and future, plan ahead, and it made me do better in school!!! It has a schedule from all time-ranges, plus, you can edit the time range (ex: 12-1...nope 12:14-3:45 get it?)It also has a Birthday/Ann. which appear yearly on the calendar! Now I particularly like the To Do feature! It has categories, which you can always change, Due Date, description, andPriority. YOu also check off if it is done or not. THe memo isn't one of those 20 word ones, but you can type SOOOO much on it, that they have E books that will fit! Expense is great...has categories, dates, amount, the payment type, and the status!!! The calculator has 12 full digits, can add, subtract, multiply, divide, convert, %...etc! You can also Convert EVERYTHING. Money OWrld wide, Measurement, incredible measurement by the way, and languages!! The clock you have your local city, and have a world city. You can have secrets too! Memory, Contrast, formats, sound, statr up display, key assignment, and Owner Informaion! 6 stars!! ...
