My first PDA was a BOSS, but I took it back and got a Sharp when they came out with the first Wizard that opened up, not right to left. The Wizards have IMHO much better software, both in functionality and ease of learning/use. Sharp finally came out with what I think of as the ultimate Wizard. It's like the perfect follow through on a lot of the different Wizard features, finally hitting the perfect balance between price and performance. PRODUCT ENDORSEMENT FOLLOWS!! It's model number YO-600. It's got a decent size screen (good length) it's got 64k, the keys have a good feel to them (although I've never been able to touch type on a Wizard, not even with my monster 9600), it's unbelievably small for that size screen (about 1" by 5", although I'm not good at measuring by sight) and its got a really good arrangement for the buttons. After playing with it for about twenty minutes, I went out and bought one for my girlfriend for Christmas (last year). She loves it. If I weren't determined to have the latest and greatest, even with the drawbacks of bleeding edge technology, I'd probably have the YO-600. If you don't care about pen input, and you want an electronic organizer, look no further. -R
