Summary: Casio Cassiopeia PV-S400Plus Pocket Viewer
Review: After having a Palm VII for 2 years I realized that more is not necessarily better. The Palm only had 2 megs of ram and was getting dangerously low in space. I didn't have funds to get a more expensive PDA and basically only use it for schedule and contacts. The PV-S400 had 4 megs of storage. Twice that of the Palm VII. Monochrome interface is passable, still hard to see against indoor lighting sometimes. Performance is quick though and the interface is intuitive. Warning though Casio's sync software tends to get confused if you have a modem hooked up to one of the COM ports. But there are workarounds. For less than $50 bucks, this is a smart little pda.

Summary: Good PDA if you dont use Excel
Review: All features of this PDA worked as expected except for the update of Excel spread sheet files. When the spreadsheet files are sent back to the PDA, via Pocket Sheet Sync program, cell attributes change. This problem has been verified by Casio technical support.

Summary: Another battery problem
Review: As another reviewer also found out, I had a terrible battery life problem, running through several (expensive) AAA pairs very quickly with little use...Since I live in Mexico and bought this on a trip to NY at Compusa, I probably won't be able to get a refund...now I'm buying a Sony Clie on Amazon. My advice: stay away from this cheapo stuff. Although the PV 400 is a very decent "lo-fi" PDA, you're better off buying quality products!

Summary: An excellent personal organizer ... if you don't need perks
Review: I always tell people that if this ever falls out of my pocket, I'd have to call my wife for directions to get home. This little thing keeps me organized! All of my appointments are in here, and if they aren't then I'm in trouble. It is easy to use, and holds up to 10,000 items (4 mgs of memory). The unit is backlit, and the indiglo light will stay on for up to 30 seconds. I thought that it would take some getting used to become comfortable using the stylus to peck and poke away at the letters and numbers, but it was easy to learn, and you can actually use your fingers if you have to.The PV400 Plus also has a memo pad, an address list, a calendar for the next 200 years (should one live that long), and a couple of solitaire card games. But for those who are looking for more perks such as email, mp3 download capability, and a color screen, you won't find it here. You'll have to get a Palm Pilot or a Sony. But if all you need is an easy way to organize your life, this unit will suffice. The only negative thing I would point out about the PV400 Plus is that it seems easy for dirt or dust to get underneath the LCD display. There is one prominent piece of dust right in the middle of mine, and I always feel tempted to want to wipe it off and I have to remind myself that I can't because it is embedded inside the glass. You'll want to keep your PV400 plus under its plastic cover whenever you are not using it.

Summary: Great Inexpensive PDA
Review: I bought The Casio PV 400 for my wife for Christmas. Now I'm back on ordering another one for myself. This is a great PDA for the price. It does all the basics, Calendar, contacts, To-Do lists. You can even download a bunch of programs from the internet for addtional functions, ie: handwriting recognition. This little PDA is even better then the new Palm Zire, the Casio has a backlight, Zire doesn't. Casio has 4 mb of memory, Palm only 2mb. Casio has made a fantastic product for a fantastic price!!!

Review: I bought this a few weeks ago and I can not remember the last time I got more for my money. It keeps you organized and that is it...period. Not alot of fancy junk, but for the money you can't beat it. It takes a little while to figure out because the manual is less than stellar, but anyone should be able to play around with it and make it work. It links well with Microsoft Outlook. All I can say is I am happy with it so far and I have the piece of mind to know that I didn't give up a mortgage payment just to have a handheld!

Summary: Great Lil Organizer
Review: I have been using the PV-400 and the previous model PV-200 for a couple of years in my charter fishing business and it works great. It is perfect for keeping all my bookings up to date and syncing with my PC. I also have several years worth of contacs and other data. The ability to jot down quick notes helps my overloaded brain remember important items. The to do list helps me keep up with my boat maintence. I have used this device on the high seas for a couple of years it a salt enviroment and droped it too many times to count. Its like everyready bunny, it just keeps on ticking. Now what I would really like is a casio and cell phone combo. Thanks

Summary: Casio Cassiopeia PV-S400Plus Pocket Viewer is Wonderful!
Review: I have had this pocket viewer for over a year and would be at a loss without it. It synchronizes beautifully with Microsoft Outlook to add your appointments, contacts and tasks to the viewer so you can have the information with you at all times.

Summary: PDA for Dummies...
Review: I have the Cassiopeia PV-S450/400Plus and I have had it for 3 years. I LOVE IT! I thought I was ready for a "real Palm" and ended up returning it because my Casio is so easy to use and so "down to basics"! I hotsync it every couple days, depending on activity, and I have never had a problem with it. The batteries seem to last forever. I did get it VERY WET once and i thought it was ruined. I took the batteries out and propped the door open for a day or two and when it dried out it was business as usual. It is absoluetly wonderful and I don't think I'll ever buy a "real palm". If you are contemplating buying one, definitely do it as you won't be dissapointed!
