Notebook for phone numbers. Phone books. Push-button notebooks

Is it inconvenient for you to keep a list of numbers in notebooks because you constantly lose them? Forgetting to congratulate your loved ones on the upcoming holiday? Or, perhaps, the phone suddenly broke down, and all contacts and data about them remained in the device’s memory? If at least one of the above applies, we strongly recommend installing Phone Book.

Compatibility

Phone Book is software designed for installation on desktop computers or laptops running Windows OS. The developer claims official support for Windows in the range from XP to 7. However, even if you use G8 or any other later versions of the OS, the application will still work quite correctly. We state this from personal testing experience.

Possibilities

The phone book will help its users store all the necessary information in a compact and organized form. They will not have to, as in the case of a paper version, search for a long time for updated data among the crossed out outdated ones. In addition to full names and phone numbers, the program also allows you to store contacts' email addresses, dates of birth and many other details. Users can edit and delete unnecessary contacts, search for them by number or name, and sort them according to the parameters described above. The phone book can start automatically when the operating system boots, and to work with it it is not at all necessary to open the program’s working window - you can manage all the functionality directly from the system tray.

Key Features

• compatible with most versions of Windows;
• allows you to store not only the names of contacts and their phone numbers, but also other information related to these people;
• has the ability to edit outdated contact data or delete it altogether;
• makes it possible to divide contacts into groups;
• has a simple and intuitive interface;
• Autostart of the software is implemented when the computer is turned on;
• You can even work with the Phone Book from the system tray.

Despite the development of technology, the traditional telephone book remains an indispensable attribute of business people, office reception areas, and reception services of various establishments.

The most popular formats of such notebooks are A4, A5, A6. To make the phone book convenient to use, the sheets are marked with letters of the alphabet (Cyrillic or Latin) and lined. For frequently used printed products, covers made of thick cardboard or leather are practical. Phone books are often supplemented with information sections:

• postal codes of cities in the Russian Federation and other countries;
• reference books of weights and measures;
• geographic Maps;
• telephone codes, etc.

Portable electronic devices have taken root quite firmly in the lives of each of us. We are accustomed to being surrounded by multifunctional smartphones, tablet computers, laptops and other gadgets that can replace “everything at once.”

Characteristics and types

Let's start with general information - an electronic notebook allows you to create your own notes, view them if necessary, edit and delete them. Today, such a function is available, for example, on any smartphone or tablet - but each of these devices also has a lot of other functions. But not everyone is attracted to such multitasking. There is a category of people who just want to have an electronic notebook at their fingertips that stores important information for them and reminds them of any upcoming events.

Undoubtedly, today this category of devices has no future - they will be forced out of the market by tablets in a few years. In the meantime, there is a demand for such devices for two reasons. The first is accessibility. Push-button electronic notebook organizers are quite inexpensive - yet they are capable of receiving information and displaying it in a convenient form. The second reason why books of this format are still in demand is their interesting design. Some developers create handwritten e-books that allow you not only to take notes, but also to draw, sketch, and create graphics.

Price

Since the devices are obsolete, their price is very low. Some books are sold for 5-10 dollars on bulletin boards (from hand). Others are given away for free. Another thing is a modern (handwritten) electronic notebook. Its price can vary between 90-120 dollars. Moreover, for this money the buyer receives a simple graphics tablet, suitable, as already described, for drawing and converting the result into electronic graphics.

Push-button notebooks

The number of devices that operate on keys includes older models - these are the electronic notebook Casio DC-7800RS, DC-8500RS, SF-4900RS and others. They differ little from each other - only in some technical details (memory capacity, different designs, set of tools). For example, one book has one directory for phone numbers, another has three. One model is capable of storing up to 128 KB of information, the other - up to 256.

Another well-known manufacturer, Citizen, also boasts its products in this niche. For example, these are models ED 1500 RX, RX 3400, ED 7600RX, ED 4800 and others. Externally, they differ little from the products of a competing company - the same principle of a “clamshell” consisting of a small screen and a Qwerty keyboard. Device memory is limited to the same 64, 128 or 256 KB (depending on the model). Most of the offers related to the sale of these devices are posted on sites like Avito - Citizen and Casio electronic notebooks with buttons are no longer sold in electronics stores.

Disadvantages of keyboards

The reason for this is obvious - “calculator-like” devices simply will not find their buyers. Firstly, they are very bulky and take up more space than the most ordinary smartphone. Secondly, the memory capacity of such devices is very limited, so graphic files cannot be placed in them. Thirdly, the same graphic files cannot be stored on keypads and due to incomplete navigation - the controls here are the same as on a calculator: there are buttons, several navigation buttons and keys for turning on one or another mode. And synchronizing this type of device with a personal computer is out of the question.

Handwritten notebooks

Of much greater interest may be devices, input data that is processed using the touch screen. The screen on them is not the same as that of tablets - here you cannot start a movie, go online or play Angry Birds. No, a handwritten electronic notebook supports entering information using a stylus - a pen whose touch the device recognizes. As a result, it identifies the lines you draw on its surface.

The scope of application of such books is much wider. For example, you can create graphic files and download them to your computer using the device as a graphics tablet. Such a book can also become a full-fledged notepad, in which the user is offered the opportunity to store his sketches and sketches. Obviously, outdated books, designed like calculators, do not support this function.

Famous models of handwritten books

One of the most interesting today is a model from the tablet manufacturer Asus EEE NoteEA800. The device is a cross between a computer and an electronic “reader” - it has black and white screen, powered by electronic ink technology that supports handwriting input. As various reviews show, the model perfectly conveys graphics, which can be a real boon for an artist. True, the model has now been discontinued - it is not easy to buy it in an electronics store.

Another interesting electronic notebook with handwriting is NoteSlate. It costs $100, and its design is not much different from a tablet. The device has a media player installed and is offered in 5 color variations. In addition, the included stylus makes it easy not only to write text, but also to erase it using the “electronic eraser” located at the end. Thus, you should not be afraid that you will ruin the drawing. The connection to the PC of this book is carried out via micro USB input.

Cheap tablets as an alternative

Taking into account the fact that externally an electronic notebook is not much different from a tablet, and functionally the latter is clearly superior to it, some manufacturers have taken the cunning step of releasing cheap tablets under the guise of electronic book-notepads. For example, this is what the Wexler company did, releasing an inexpensive but book-like tablet. We are talking about Book series devices. Their cost starts at $30 - a very affordable price for a notebook. They support both handwritten input and playback of video and audio files, viewing images on a color screen and so on.

How to choose?

Making a choice about which notebook you would like to purchase is, of course, not easy. There are a lot of models on the market, each of which has its own characteristics, which must be taken into account. But we will proceed from what you need first.

If you want to buy an old-fashioned electronic notebook that looks like a calculator, it might be a Casio or a Citizen. It’s very easy to search for them - on any message board there are several people who want to sell such a gadget or even give it away for free.

If you would like to have a reliable assistant who will store your notes, you can purchase an inexpensive tablet. In addition to the function of entering and storing information, it also supports a number of other options that may be useful to you. If you suddenly want a device with a black and white screen, buy an electronic notepad like those released by Asus or NoteSlate.

Finally, those who are looking for a device for drawing and creating graphics can be advised to purchase an inexpensive graphics tablet.

You can find the best price for the device that interests you by simply monitoring offers from different online stores. With online access, this can be done in a few minutes. At the same time, remember that you should not blindly chase a low price. Check the reliability of the seller, reviews about him and clarify details, such as delivery times, its cost, and whether there is a guarantee for the product. Or simply visit your nearest physical electronics store and make your choice in person.
