Organizer Reviews

Every iPAQ user I know either goes naked with the iPAQ (no sleeve at all) or used one of the *functioning* expansion packs like the phone, PC Card, or CF packs.

While these style packs come in funky (sort of funky) colours, they don't do anything, not even protect the screen. If you really, really want one, I suggest that you either spray paint the black one that came with your iPAQ, or, for less expense, glue some dollar bills to your old case. Now that would be funky.

At one tenth the price that these go for I probably won't buy one. At full price, there's just no value.

Sure it looks really cool to have a color stylus, but you could spend that same money on an even better program or game. Besides that though, there is nothing wrong with these styluses it just isn't worth the money.

This product labal is some what miss leading. Working in dirty envioroment the product performed well to help protect the expantion pack port from contamination. Also the brighter color were easier to find if dropped in high grass.

This product proved to WASTE more time than provide a friendly time-saving fix. I realized that the device synchronized some of my appointments, but not all-day events like birthdates and anniversaries. I also realized that none of my Outlook address book contacts were synchronized. This device is a waste of money, for any customer. I received this item as a christmas gift. After realizing that a PDA was a great idea, I chose to purchase a HP iPAQ h1935 Pocket PC. It sells for 200.00 and is worth every penny. If you are a mobile phone user, I would recommend purchasing a Samsung i700 which combines a Pocket PC with digital camera and cellphone.

I guess there's are reasons that other electronic organizers are twice the price as this one...FUNCTIONALITY and QUALITY! Two things this organizer is dreadfully lacking! I'll probably end up giving mine away as soon as I get a new one. The features are so cumbersome, it'll take you forever just to create an appt entry...and forget about trying to repeat the appt...no such option! The display is extremely difficult to see in normal romm light, but at least the backlight option is good in the dark. Next time, I'm not going to buy one of these without TRYING it first!

Hello everyone! This prodect is the best thing I have ever used!
This GREAT prodect fetures a PDA witch is helping me in school,games like blackjack ETC.
The rest of all the info. I am leaving the rest for me to be glad when you buy this prodect. HAVE FUN!

...

I have to agree with the "lousy" review. It seems to be a decent setup,but if you need a light more intense than any naturally available, what is the point? HP needs to get this fixed so it is much more sensitive to light and can operate with a faster "shutter" speed to prevent blur and also produce something other than an extremely dark picture. I wasn't looking for something that great with a 1.3 MP camera, but this was a total loss. Can you say Return Merchandise Authorization?

This is the first time I post a review because I am compelled to do so.

I bought this camera to use during the Christmas holidays. I tried to use it the first time to take a picture of the Christmas tree, all I saw was complete darkness. Then I realized that I needed more light. So I turned on all the lights in the house and it was still darkness. If you plan to use this camera indoor, please forget about it! No way.

It isn't that great outdoor neither. I took many pictures with the automatic exposure setting. It cannot handle anything with a bright background. It will just be VERY bright.

I tried to use it on the ski slopes. I think it is because of the cold temperature, the camera has to be reset often. To make the matter worse, the pictures turned out literally "twisted".

I can't belive a HP camera can have so many flaws. Very disappointing. Please don't buy one.

For the price, this is a great addition for my iPAQ. I already have a nice digital camera that takes pictures in any setting. This is something I can carry around in my briefcase or my pocket for occasions when I need a quick snapshot. It's pretty much worthless in low light situations, but that's true for any low-end digital camera without a flash. Outdoors the pictures are just fine. They're perfect for email or other small requirements.

I bought this module to fill it up with pictures of my family and to use the Vibe alarm in cases where sound would get me into trouble. Hey, I almost forget about the color update for my Prism. I would buy another if it had more memory like 16 or 32, but 2MB is like having pennies in your pockets. I would suggest getting the MemPlug, which gives you a lot of features for a reasonable price.

I was very excited about getting this product -- the idea of no longer annoying the folks around me when my alarm goes off (which is frequent, I set lots of reminders for myself in the way of timed floating events) appealed to me greatly -- but now, after having had it for a little while, I'm afraid I'm a bit dissapointed. First off, the vibration action is a bit loud. Now, this is probably a side effect of the fact that it's also fairly powerful, which is a good thing, especially if you wear your Visor in a belt-clip holster, as I do... But the amount of noise, while far from huge, was a little bit annoying. That, though, wasn't too big of a deal -- it was still a lot quieter than the speaker, and yet it was easier to detect, because I could feel it, even in noisy environments. The big deal thing was that at times it has "spontaneously" (I haven't been able to track down the exact scenario that causes it to happen -- it seems pretty random, so far... There haven't been alarms, and I haven't been touching the visor) turned itself on (i.e. turned on the vibration motor)... The only way to turn it off was to either pull the module (which worked fine without causing any detectable problems) or to go to the "test" application, and hit the "Off" button. When the visor is with you, this is a mild annoyance, but once I had it sitting on my couch, and came up to it after a time elsewhere in my apartment, and heard (ok, maybe the loudness is a good thing? ;-) it vibrating... I have no idea how long it had been on, but my batteries, which I'd put in a few days earlier, were now close to depleted. So, if you're going to use this, I suggest you put it in before going into the movie theatre or meeting or whatever, and leave it out the rest of the time. (Also note: The problem of the module turning itself _may_ not be a problem with the module itself... it's much harder to tell if this is happening with other modules, and I _have_ noticed a surprising rate of battery drain with one of my other modules installed, but not in active use. Either way, this is something to be aware of with something that takes as much power as a motor, so I thought it best to state it here.)

It's a bit hard to turn off. It keeps vibrating even after you press to turn it off. I wish this also had an LED that flashes when something comes up on the Handspring.

I don't use it much, unless I'm in a meeting. I don't bother other people when I have a message getting my attenion.

I saw all the other reviews before purchasing this. What I really wanted was a stylus that was better than the plastic junk that came with my Cassiopeia. And, I thought that this peice of junk would actually fit into my PDA. This is what I was led to belive according to the Casio web site and this site. Well, it doesn't fit, and it won't fit into any PDA, unless you have a PDA the size of you head. It's a complete waste of money. It's cheaply made, and cumbersome. A wooden stick would do better, for writing on paper or your PDA. I can't stress to you enough, DON'T BUY THIS JUNK, unless you enjoy wasting (money).

This pen is really not worth its price. After a moth of daily use the black paint vanished and begin to show the inner metal susrface. Do not purchase. Is a piece of trash!!!! Believeme!!!!!

It looks nice and works okay, but the quality is less than expected. The pen/stylus combo was obviously a pen/pencil in a previous life -- there's a pencil eraser under the top cap, and if you push the cap (in stylus mode) the stylus pokes way out and you have to push it back in. It's obvious that they just replaced the lead-advance mechanism with a stylus tip. Summary: Convenient and attractive, but disappointingly cheap.

I found the (Freedio FZ-700S) Handheld Scanner useless without the (FZ-200C Cradle) which I was unable to find on Casio's Web Page! I think the Cradle should come with the (Freedio FZ-700S) or at least be made more available!

To repeat what another customer said, "what a useless toy!" I've never been so let down by a product in my life. Read the fine print very carefully. It can only scan half a page of continuous text and has almost no storage capabilities. If you are a serious researcher, don't bother.

After a huge headache getting no support from Casio, I finally got it to beam to my Casio E115. You have to download a utility to make the casio emulate the freedio printer. I got it to work to discover that the battery is only good for about 4-5 scans of something as small as a business card. Since the battery is not removable without taking the unit apart, after the 5 scans you need to charge the unit for another 8 hours. I'll use my digital camera thankyou very much.

On a positive note, Amazon made it very easy to return the unit at no cost to me. If it wasn't for the battery issue, I would have kept the unit.

My main complaint with this case is that when I pack a few business cards and a folded piece of paper into the provided slots, the bulk causes buttons to be pressed on the visor (Visor Prism) and affects battery life.

It does, however, look great and the visor snaps right in with no problems. As long as you don't try to use the card slots, its not a bad case, but just not what I needed.

The case seems to be of good quality, but it doesn't really fit the Prism very well. The "hinge" portion, the area that is the equivalent of the binder of a book, is a bit too narrow. Someone forgot to measure twice before they cut! The unit has a built-in plastic frame that the prism snaps into securily, I think that is better than Palm's idea, which is to use Velcro to hold their Palm III's. In spite of the less than perfect fit, the unit does seem to provide good protection.

The prism fits perfectly in the case and with no problems snaping it into place or closing the cover with credit cards inside.

I have been using the Navman 3420 coupled to an Ipaq 3850 for over 1 year and am constantly disappointed by its performance.

1) Maps are full of errors, old, and there have NO updates during the time I have owned this product. Even my own street is misnamed in the software.

2) When traveling across country, there is no way to program waypoints or to select one's own routing. This is terrible and really a pain. I mean this is why you want to buy a GPS unit right? When you follow the routing selected by the software, be prepared for a wild ride anywhere...maybe even through a corn field, no kidding it tried to route me through a corn field!

3) If you would like to load several maps on one of the larger compact flash cards and navigate through 5 or more states, GOOD LUCK! You will need an Ipaq with more than the 64mb of sdram found on the 3850(understand sdram on an Ipaq is not upgradeable). They say you will need 7 to 10% of the map area used on the compact flash card in sdram. So if you try to use a 512mb card for example (loaded with maps) then you will need approximately 50mb of sdram? Almost impossible on a 64mb machine as it will use sometimes upwards of 18mb just to run on its own without Navman's SmartST Professional software.

4) The 3420 does not have an external antenna input. Why is this important? Try using the unit in a large city with tall buildings without one. When you really need it - it will loose the satellite fix.

Do not waste your money on this device. Wait for a later generation product that is much more refined. Go to Walmart and buy a road atlas for $5 until then.

Very unreliable. Clumsy user interface. Couple of times I had to pull over and wait for the stupid thing to lock on the sattelites. Often needs a PDA reset. Imagine having to reset your PDA , start the program again and enter the destination again while driving in traffic.

I was running the NAVMAN GPS on a iPAQ 3955. To make this short, after doing a "Hard" reset and applying the latest Soft-Paq I could get it to work 1 out of 10 times.

Another mistake I made was buying a SanDisk 512mb CF card so I could store the program and maps (You'll get about 1/4 of the US on the card.) You can't install the program to the CF card as it will not function and the program (4.3mb installed) definitely slowed down my machine.

Just so you know I sent it back to Amazon and was refunded.

I was expecting some type of sleeve into which the handheld fit, leaving the grafitti areas exposed. Instead I found a strip of Velcro with velcro dots to attach to the back of the handheld. This should have been stated in the description. Although this is a nice leather organizer binder, the 'modification' to hold a handheld is nothing original and nothing someone can't do with an existing binder. The misleading description (i.e., lack of information) cost me the price of returning the merchandise.

My son and I are very disappointed and we feel like the advertising is very misleading. I bought this organizer for my son as a b'day present. Since it is listed under electronics, and all of the pictures show an electronic organizer included, we thought that's what we'd get. Well, needless to say, there is no electronic organizer. I wonder how many other people were just as mislead as we were; or is it just us?

This looks like a cool case. But why would you need it. The Visor is a day planner, calcuator, memo thingy, and everything else. If you don't have a Visor than get this and don't use the Visor. It's cool but there is no point in it, unless you have a day planner and don't want to convert it into your Visor. Then get it, otherwise it looks cool.

The one thing that was not mention by Amazon is that this case is designed and intended for 1st generation ipods only! I purchased mine and was quite disappointed by the fact that Amazon failed to mention this important fact. Although the case is made of quality material and seem to fit my 20 GB ipod nicely, the two outer buttons above the click wheel will not be accessible once the ipod is in the case. But if all you want is something to hold your ipod, this may do the job as long as you are will to pay the listed price. I believe you can find something more functional for a cheaper price.

This case does not work well with the ipod. When in the case, you cannot work the button controls-- rewind, fastforward. The case scratches the ipod upon inserting and removing due to the hard leather stiching on the inside of the case. Good idea, bad execution.

I disagree with the other review. And I know for a fact that it does not scratch up the sides. IT IS A GOOD IDEA, AND A GOOD EXECUTION.
