After 4 years of usage...

I used the OZ-290H, the precursor to 290HII. Used it for four years and now the screen has gone all flaky on me-- many of the numbers and digits wont appear at all on the entry pad. So I am now going for HII. Four years of regular usage is good enough for me. So my feedback is on the earlier 290H model which I think is mostly valid for this model too. Plan to modify this feedback once I get my 290HII. PS: Got the 290 HII model and it is the same as the 290H. No difference whatsoever as far as I can see.

I use it for:
1. Phone #s, addresses, etc.
2. Memo: Take short notes, like some shop names, passwords, note of books to buy, etc.

Pros:
1. Cheap, light-weight, and easy to use. Never lost the stylus.
2. Does all the basic organizer functions that I need.
3. Many a times I use my fingers and not the stylus and it works ok.
4. Battery life for my usage (about twice a day) is about 2 yrs.
5. Computer backup is great. I backup once in 6 months or so.
6. Nicely fits into my pocket without a bulge.
7. Has a sturdy flip top to protect the screen.
8. 1MB or so of memory is more than enough. I ended up using about 25% after 4 years of gathering all the information + adding from 3-yrs worth from my old YO Sharp organizer. But then, I never worked in 'Sales' or customer contact.

Cons:
1. Cannot backup to my Vista computer. So I use my XP laptop for this.
2. The memo feature limits the character entry. I find this annoying being used to their earlier YO digital diaries. Not such a big deal.
3. Information backup is not in an easy-to-use/modify excel/word file. I get a .bak file for backup that I cannot easily open. BUT, it allows me to 'export' in .csv format each of the sections.
4. Kind of clunky-- especially with no backspace and 'enter' (new-line) button.
