I wanted an inexpensive, small device that I could keep in my backpack with addresses and telephone numbers, and synchronize with a "master" that I'd keep on my PC. So I bought this. First, I learned that the advertised "PC Synchronization" capability requires you to shell out another $7.95 and wait another few weeks for delivery. Second, when I installed the PC Synchronization software on my PC, I learned that it lacks even a rudimentary import or export feature, so I'd have to retype all the 300+ addresses currently in my electronic addressbook. Finally, I learned that there's a limit of about 36 characters on the "address" and "notes" fields of the database, meaning I do not even have room to store enter my own, relatively simple address, let alone a multi-line business address or reasonable notes like the names of people's children or the date that I updated a record.

I'm sure there are more gotchas I could learn if I spent more time working with it, but I don't have more time to waste on this useless piece of electronics.

This product is OK for what it was designed for,although it didn't have the same screen storage capacity that my old organizer had and it takes some getting use to, with the touch screen feature.

I couldn't figure out how to operate the organizer. The instructions were very poor, and incomplete. They should have included specific tasks, and how to do them.

This is an extremely poorly designed Digital Organizer. The screen is difficult to read, adding addresses, etc. is very time consuming and frankly not worth the effort. We returned the unit for a refund.

This is definitely not for seniors although I have very good eyesight. It is so small and confusing. But the worst part is that all of the icons you need to use are at the bottom of the device in slate grey against a slate grey background making it next to impossible to read let alone to use, I shipped mine back to Amazon.

Do not count on the battery that it comes with it will die very quickly get an energizer or a duracell watch battery instead. Lacks a backlight. only get as a cheap replacement for your palm or smartphone.
