 Worthless January 5, 2008
Completely worthless. Poor screen contrast. Lousy online support and reference materials. Failed to synchronize via USB to both XP PC and Vista PC. It's getting returned. I guess you need to go to Palm to get a suitable low cost organizer.
Hate it. July 23, 2007
I do not like this item. It is more than appropriate for a 10 year old. I like the fact that it had a soduku game in it, but, you can not use the stylo with it! The organizer is ok, but I mainly needed an organizer for my work and college schedules, and I had to put them in as appointments because the only options were "Appointments" and "To Do Tasks." It seems a little odd to me. I would never have paid $29.99 for it. It is only worth like $10. I returned mine. My advice is not to buy it.

Why did I return it?
First, the dim screen makes for a better mirror than a way to review inputed data. Then the keyboard (which slides in and out) didn't lock securely in place - so it wobbled as you inputted your data. Yes, there is a stylus there too, so it's not completely keyboard operated, adding to the aggrivation. No way to customize the buttons either, from what I could tell. Overall, the graphic interface and user friendlyness for this thing was high tech in 1985.
In less than a week I was disgusted with it and returned it in favor of a Palm Z22 PDA Three times more expensive - but a thousand times better than this clunker.
Good concept, bad execution January 10, 2007

I thought I would try buying a basic organizer rather than an expensive PDA, and so I tried the EZ Vue 6. Now, let me first say that it seems quite durable; I've dropped the unit a time or two, and it suffers no more than a scratch. Additionally, it uses standard AAA batteries, so there are no expensive battery packs to buy.
That being said, let me say this: the interface is cumbersome at best, the features are all implemented on the level of a proof-of-concept, and the unit wears out batteries so quickly that you'll be buying a LOT of them.
The interface in detail: perhaps the most annoying part is the task list. Sure, you can enter tasks quickly, but let's say you want to mark one as completed. You can't actually change any aspect of a task until you go into "edit" mode, which is only accessible via the keyboard. Same for deleting any item, so it's impossible to do much with just the stylus. They should have either put more function buttons on the face of the device, or designed it with the keyboard in a fixed position.
The calendar is fine if you have all day to play with it. Efficiency is not the name of the game here; if you want a recurring appointment (say a weekly meeting, for example) you have to make it "recurring" by manually entering each instance. However, viewing things is really easy, and the device could have been marketed for a quarter of its price as a clock/calendar unit.
The spell check, thesaurus, etc., are all useless if you have more than a 600-word vocabulary. The thing can't be used for taking short notes-- I've found a stack of post-its to be more effective for that, and they don't quit working in the middle of a meeting.
If you're looking for a white elephant gift, this is the kind of useless item that fits perfectly in that sort of situation. However, if you're looking for a truly useful organizer, spend a little more money for a Palm Z22-- or, better yet, buy any of a wide array of paper-based planners available here or elsewhere. As I said, paper doesn't quit because of weak batteries.
