Review of Sharp Wizard OZ-590 PDA
Page Four

By Marshall C. St. John, June 4, 2003
For my "Amazing, Colossal and Stupendous Wizard Website."

The "gold standard" of all the Sharp Wizard units is the OZ-700 series.
Here is a scan of the OZ-590, along with a closed OZ-770...

One would think that the OZ-590, with 8MB of memory, or the OZ-800,
with 10MB of memory, would be more useful than the OZ-770, with only
3MB of memory. However it doesn't work that way. For example, memos
on the OZ-590 are limited in length to only 474 characters each. Memos
on the OZ-770 may be up to 2000 characters long, and there are very
useful E-book programs that work on the OZ-770.

Summary: If you are looking for an inexpensive PDA with lots of
flexibility, ease of use and a clear screen, by all means get a Sharp
OZ-770 Wizard Organizer. You can usually find one for less than
$100 on EBay. If you want a smaller Wizard, the OZ-800 is about the
same price as, and much superior to the OZ-590. I cannot recommend
the OZ-590. It is non-intuitive to use, and the screen is really hard to read.
