Great Product

I love my Rex Companion.I got it to synch my Act 4.0 database (over 700 contacts) and my list of personal contacts from Outlook 2000 as well.I had no problems with the software once I got the hang of it.I'd recommendthe clear lexan case some sites are offering for around 12 bucks because itlooks fragile. With it in the case you can still read it but you can put itin your back pocket and not worry about breaking it. It is so small I cantake it with me all the time (not like the large Palm and Visor...

Too many bugs

As a long time user of PDA's I loved everything about this unit. I even got use to quirky interface to enter data on the run. If you plan to sync with Outlook 98 or ACT 4.0 just forget it. It just does not work. I spent hours on thephone with tech support and could never get it to consistently being overmy data in the correct format. The problem seemed to be all true syncrelated. Stick to Intellisync or Hot sync manager if you sync data onregular basis. Palm Pilot is still the best on the market...

Rex organizer

This is a nice product that has the advantage of being very compact as compared to other products in this category.However, I have experienced a great amount of problems in synchronizing with Outlook 98 contacts.Bewary of this problem if you are using these products. Also, the productdoes not include a calculator, which I find inconvenient...

Use it for reference only

I've tried them all...Windows CE, Palm and now Rex. There is no doubt that the size is terrific, and it makes it possible to have it with you at all times. However, save your money and don't buy the Pro unless you need thememory. Input of info is downright painful and I've long since given uptrying to enter events while disconnected from my computer. Thesynchronization software is also not perfect as it will only recognize 4categories if you use it to organize your Contacts folder in Outlook.Otherwise...

Great, Great, Great!

Size does matter...especially when the REX can fit in your wallet!I'm a PR Manager for a Fortune 50 company and once my wife got me my REX, my Palm just sits in a drawer.It's small, convenient and stores those importantnames/numbers (media, business contacts, etc...) that I always seem to needwhen on the road.A steal of a deal......
