Its as close as anything is going to be for now as the perfect stand-alone pda
by jjesusfreak01 on April 24, 2005
Pros: WiFi, really clear screen, fairly large battery, camera, powersaving features all around
Cons: WiFi drains battery, low-speed processor (saves battery immensely)
Summary: Its the best pda ever made. It is small, has everything a "PDA" needs, and works like it should. Though the WiFi drains the battery, what I didnt say is ...
Summary: Its the best pda ever made. It is small, has everything a "PDA" needs, and works like it should. Though the WiFi drains the battery, what I didnt say is that it still gets better battery life using WiFi than any other PDA (VZ-90 excluded). The screen is nearly perfect, and though the jog dial is in a weird position, its actually really easy to use as a jog dial, its just not good for games. It is the best stand alone pda out right now.

Sony did it right
Pros: As a medical student and technophile, I needed a palmOS based PDA, but didn't want to settle for the pieces of junk PalmOne was peddling. This has it all. Wi-Fi, camera, large screen, great battery life. I would rather have a larger screen, better batt
Cons: Sony is exiting the market. And these babies have been snatched up like hotcakes. All my med friends wish they had one.

Want Accessories?
Pros: I just bought this PDA a week ago and I'm liking it. It has helpped me orgainized my meetings and to do list, as well as contacts all in one place. It's compact. Lots of software choices to meet any need that you have. The camera takes good pics for the P
Cons: Scroll button poorly loacted. Power switch in a bad place (it turns on when placed in my pocket). Software is expensive. The battery is built in, so I can't replace it myself. Oh and for the person that wants accessories, well don't get this model. I've c

Great organizer and internet browser - if you have the money
by magik10 on December 11, 2005
Pros: Bright, high quality picture. Looks sleek and cool. Bulit in digital camera and audio recorder; wifi
Cons: Stylus is too tiny, uses less popular memory stick.
Summary: This is probably one of the best, if not the best organizer you can get for the price. With a large, high quality screen, it is perfect for viewing pictures ...
Summary: This is probably one of the best, if not the best organizer you can get for the price. With a large, high quality screen, it is perfect for viewing pictures and video (Although the video must have a low bit rate, or it will not play [or skip]). This also features a built in voice recorder, which can have endless uses. The Clie also looks sleek and feels sturdy, besides the cover, which is very wobbley. Although the design is nice, the feel is not. The buttons on the side are too touchy, and when holding for long periods of time, the Clie starts to feel uncomftorable. The stylus is also bad, as it is about 1/2 the size of a HP stylus, and must be folded to be inserted into the unit. The only other thing bad about this is the memory stick, as many people use other flash memory cards, such as CF or SD.
Besides the buttons and the stylus, the Clie is the must have organizer. Too bad for Sony, as they are not making any more Clies. -
Versatile, Expandable, Manageable, Helpful, Creative, Sleek, Demanding, Longlasting, Solid
by kraftsequation on June 5, 2005
Pros: Welp, the best feature is the camera and the memory stick expanditure possiblities. Also all the many things you can put in it, for instance movies, games, music, programs etc. Battery life great.
Cons: As versatile as it is, your movies have to be in quicktime format or else it won't play, and have a great time formatting movies all day.
Summary: Well, i would say it's worth the money for the features. I've been using this thing for almost 6 months now. And i use it mostly to keep ...
Summary: Well, i would say it's worth the money for the features. I've been using this thing for almost 6 months now. And i use it mostly to keep my address book intact with people's faces (thanks to the camera), and music. This addittion goes greatly with all my other gadgets (PSP, Sony P200 Camera etc.) This item looks very nice and slick, but another downside would be that there is no case that comes with it, although there is a front cover it doesn't help greatly of protecting itself, it will get scratched. It doesn't get scratech from outside it gets scratched from the inside. But then again it's minimal and altogether among all other palms, this one is one of the best. If u cant afford the costly HP pda with the camera and it's too bulky for you, consider this you wont' be dissapointed. The only thing it's missing is a built in phone, and no bluetooth. And by the way surfing online with this thing is lots of fun.

it is the best pda ever
Pros: this is the best pda on the market for price and features built in. i have searched forever and this is the best i have found.
Cons: the only thing bad is the cramped side buttons and the media pro slot. i prefeer a sd slot because i have tons.

Clie all-in-one. Get started immediately
Pros: It is the Clie OS user-interface and software bundling that impress me. Of course I am comparing with Pocket PC. In Clie you get all you needed to be productive. In PocketPC, the main interface is just another blank XP-like desktop. You need to click to a
Cons: I do not understand why the camera is not megapixels like the nx80.

The Best Palm OS system out there.
Pros: This machine has everything you ever wanted/needed for a Palm OS. It is remarkably thin, and feels very sturdy, it has survived several 4-5 foot drops onto my berber carpet without any wear. It has WIFI which allows for wireless Hotsyncing and internet
Cons: No magic gate support larger than 128 MB Memory Sticks. Was a major disappointment for me, because I have an extensive collection of ATRAC3 for my Minidiscs. The sliders on the side are nice in that they are out of the way, but are difficult to turn on
