This was one of the first touch screen organizers I was given. It was given to me because someone wanted to buy a new gadget but had to get rid of the old one. I was really bowled over with this pda. It was so small, sleek and the balance felt so good in the hand. It synced with the PC and had a great dock. Hand written notes were done with the stylus and uploaded to the PC for backup. The battery just wouldn't die and ran on a single AA. It was fantastic.
But then, that was the time when I was young and didn't really have any serious use for it. Now, I wouldn't even use it for anything. The screen was just too small and writing anything more than a few words would fill the whole screen and the low resolution didn't help. Even worse was the fact that the screen was so hard to read. It was rather dark. Even with the backlight, it was just difficult to read clearly. Though, to be honest, I didn't really notice it that much back then.
Searching for the notes are a non-starter. On a paper notepad it's a quick flick here and there, or that instinctive feeling it's between this page and that, but on an electronic organizer, it's not so intuitive.
Still it's oh so small, sleek, thin, matt black finish and runs on a AA battery that lasts and lasts. Shame about the screen.
