- I was considering getting an organizer. From what I saw when I went looking,
- there are basically two in my price range that have the features I like.
-
- The Sharp Wizard oz-8000's (card slot, outliner, BIG)
- The Casio BOSS....hmmm...no card slot, 64K, about $100...the model number
- slips my mind.
-
- Here are my needs/wants.
-
- Basic phone book.
- Basic note keeper.
- GREAT scheduler w/ the diagram of used and free time, ability to either: look
- at a week at a shot, or easily scrolling through the events.
- cheep (Wizard is $200 and that is REALLY pushing it) $100?
-
- FILE TRANSFER!
- Good screen....
-
- Here are my BIG concerns:
- Battery life? Expense to replace?
- Ease of use, I know that the Sharp is fairly intutitive, and the Casio
- is...not. I can learn how to use it no prob, just HATE quirks in user
- interfaces.
- Cost of file Xfer kit. NO cable is worth $100. Standard connectors? Make my
- own cable?
- Size (BOSS win's here)
- Price(again BOSS).
-
- Any information about either of these(or ideas for others) would be helpful.
- Hints or suggestions for places to shop would also be appriciated.
-
- Thanks for your time!
