This product-the Roldex RT8214 PDA appears to be a bargain. It isn't!
The most important function to me for this unit was the stated ability to sync the entries on the Rolodex with a computer using a supplied USB cable. After a couple of frustrating hours I gave up trying to get it to sync. It would not recognize any of the ports. I don't have this problem with any other USB device I've connected to my desktop.
It is very cumbersome to input data to it(hence the need for the sync function)
They advertise a calculator function. WOW the calculator display is compressed into the size of a postage stamp-at best You'd need 20/10 vison to have a shot at seeing it.
The supplied instructions are lousy. If I had bought it from a store it would be back there now.
The only value I've gotten from it is to use the supplied CR 2032 3 volt batteries for something else.
Really spend a few more bucks and get a real PDA. I've wasted the money I spent for this useless piece of equipment.

I currently work as executive assistant to the director of a large and complex medical division. The Rolodex personal PDA comes in very handy in controlling the many different issues that I need to deal with daily. It definitely makes my life easier.

Shame on me this time to purchase this organizer. It's not user friendly and the touch pad is difficult at times. I do not recommend it.

I can`t transfer datas between the Rolodex device and my personal PC (Windows XP Prof. I have installed the Desktop Manager sofware CD in my personal PC, and I can not to use both.
However, The Rolodex Organizer doesn`t have several functions that I need: Directory Phone, Schedule, etc. Bad luck.
