Great little organizer for basic things, September 5, 2004
This review is from: Sharp YOP20HII 1MB Electronic Organizer (Office Product)
Take it from a highschooler, I really needed something like this for remembering school homework, assignments and such. I wasn't sure whether to get it or not by the reviews similar items got. The reason why this one caught my eye is because it was very inexpensive, in fact a great price for something like this. Of course a lot of you may know I don't have the money to be spending three to four hundred dollars for a small hand held computer that a lot of the things I wouldn't need on it.
I found the Sharp YO-P20H Organizer to be a lot more helpful than I had even expected. It had a neat calculator for doing math problems, an english spanish translator, phonebook, memo pad, reminder, clock, a few games, and a schedule which I'll all need of course. It even has an alarm on the schedule to help remind you of things you forget just in case.
Last year when I was fourteen, I mailed in for a PDA organizer on the back of a honeycomb cereal box. It was a great little gadget, lasted me a long time, and was almost exactly like this one, but then when I set the alarm, it froze and I was never able to use it again. Now being fifteen I have a lot more to worry about in school, but I was never able to remember homework with my notebooks because I hardly ever look in those. After a stressful day, you just don't want to have anything to do with work or school, but looking at your organizer will sure help because you turn it on to check some things out and you find you have to do something, and this one is for sure to do the trick.
And for a such a good priced little palm pilot, it sure is good quality. It'll hold a lot of information, plus it'll even hook up to your computer with the cord it comes with. You won't regret buying it if you're a busy person. Plus, you might not be able to spend nearly half a grand on an expensive one. You need fast accesability, and that's exactly what I found with this. Five stars instantly.

good value, March 2, 2005
This review is from: Sharp YOP20HII 1MB Electronic Organizer (Office Product)
Just purchased this handy little item as I wanted to test the PDA waters before jumping in on a more expensive model. It works great for what I use it for, phonebook, scheduling, notes, etc... Would be nice if you didn't have to scroll to see entire address lines and if it had a search mode for the scheduler, but very good value overall. If you don't need email, video, phone, etc., then this is definitely worth checking out. Touchpad screen is remarkably accurate and easy to use.

a simple organizer for a simple life, December 20, 2004
This review is from: Sharp YOP20HII 1MB Electronic Organizer (Office Product)
This is either the third or fourth organizer I've bought. Mostly I went for an inexpensive model because I keep losing the silly things. Or they got buried somewhere during a move. At any rate, I wanted something small that could handle the modest uses to which it would be put. Keeping a list of phone numbers, addresses, appointments, notes, the calculator wasn't a deal breaker but it's a nice bonus. I have also found that the belt clip on the case fits nicely into the side of my wallet. It's an easy take-along now when all I need grab is my wallet and the car keys and I'm on my way. The logic escapes me why Sharp put the tone on/off option under the clock instead as part of an initial setup program. Speaking only for myself, I didn't need a $300 mover and shaker handheld organizer, I'm not running the world from City Hall. It's light, convenient, good display, and serves the purpose for which I intended it.
