Title: Pim That Is Usable
Post by: Snappy on March 18, 2008, 11:15:21 am

Hi all,

Any recommendations for a light and good PIM for cacko on c1000?
In particular, organiser / calendar functionalities.

I got kopi installed ... but find it too heavy and complex for my usage.
Ideas?

This one is fantastic: http://homepage2.nifty.com/ishihata/yoteihyouforsl-cxxx.htm (http://homepage2.nifty.com/ishihata/yoteihyouforsl-cxxx.htm)
It seems to be the choice PIM app for Sharp ROM in the Japanese Z community.
I've tried it before. It's very fast and well-integrated (calendar, addressm, todo ... just like on a Palm)
The interface seems to be in japanese only. But maybe there is a way to get it working in English.
Or perhaps contact the author (if s/he is still reachable) to work out the translation?

For basic pim stuff I thought the stuff that came with sharprom was pretty quick simple and effective...maybe you have an additional requirement I missed?

I'm using cacko ... and ever since then, been using kopi & kapi ... but of late, I begin to find myself using my phone for organiser/calendar/contacts more than my z.  Despite lacking a proper qwerty keyboard, the interface on my nokia phone makes entry into the calendar a walk in the park.  Add to that the speedy response and easy sync up with outlook, suddenly I realise that in spite of the plethora of features in kopi, or maybe because of it, and consequently the sluggishness, I start to shun it (kopi) in favor of my phone.

Hence my plea for help.

No, this is a different but very simialr program called "Qualendar". Like the other one it also uses the Sharp PIM databases, but it only integrates Calendar and Todo without Addressbook.

Thanks for the clarification
