Do not waste your money [Posted on 2001-11-22]
At first glance, this is a PDA but in fact the calendar is for displaying the date and time only. It is said in the box that it is compatible with several MS-Outlook but in fact it requires three transformations to synchronize the contacts agenda between the PC and the PDA. The PDF manual supplies a minimum of information abut how it operates and it is necessary to download html file from ... to find out what can be done. It looks like a PDA, but many functions are incomplete and very unfriendly. I think I have wasted my money.

almost great [Posted on 2001-11-24]
The RF-8130 does alot of things.It has about a third of the space
as a Palm m100. The only drawback is the back-lighted screen. It
is somewhat dim, about as bright as an Indiglo Timex watch display.
And, of course, this was the main reason why I chose to
purchase this model over the RF-8120 which has no backlighting.
Overall, it is worth the price, though.

I KNOW I WASTED MY MONEY [Posted on 2001-12-23]
This PDA is NOT user friendly, Instruction manual is NOT very helpful and features it claims to have don't work as well as others do from other companies. Save yourself time/money... DO NOT buy this item.

A nice alternative to the expensive PDA's [Posted on 2001-12-28]
This PDA does everything that is really necessary for a PDA to do. It keeps track of appointments, it has a thesauraus/dictionary/translator, it converts currency or measurements. It is a little difficult to read the screen in some light; however it's price is excellent. It is very compact, which is another feature I appreciate. Unlike most other personal PC's or PDA's this fits into a pocket and is virtually un-noticeable. The stylus pen works well overall if you don't need the flash and just need the basics this is a great product.
