Summary: Great PDA
Review: I first got an sj22. I had it for 2 weeks and discovered it had a manufacturers defect. So I returned it and got this one...it's great. I'd like to add that it comes with everything i needed, except memory stick. I had one 32 mb one already, and my mom bought me a 256 mb one. I have found that the mp3 player is much easier to use than my old Rio 800. I use MS Import to put the music on it. And I even have my own custom alarms, Flintstones, and The Pink Panther. I wish it came with a cradle though.Pros
1.Good screen, but backlight needs to be on most of the time.
2.Nice hard Flip-top cover, no wierd leather like thing anymore!
3.Nice resolution, especially when reading eBokks with Palm Reader Pro!
4.Fast processor.
5.Good software. Explore the "Sony Handheld" directory on your pc to find some really nifty apps!
6.Has hold function.
7.Good Price.
Cons
1.No cradle. To buy cradle separate costs another 50 Bucks...:(

Review: I have had a Sony Clie PEG-S360 for a year. We just bought the SJ33 for my wife and I am blown away at what it can do. We have had no problems with it. My wife has fallen in love with it and is constantly looking for a new reason to use it or show it off to her girlfriends.

Summary: Awesome PDA
Review: I originally purchased the SJ22, but then quickly realized I had this really powerful PDA with NO software that came with it. Sure, you get a bunch of "trial" programs which all expire within 30 days if you don't buy them. ... So I bought it and LOVE IT! This PDA can do anything, so long as you spend the time learning how to use it. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with detailed instructions on how to use the programs. But after playing with it a while everything starts to make sense, and it quickly becomes an indispensible tool. It used to be something I never thought I needed, and now I don't know how I lived without it. This one can also sync with Quicken or MS Outlook, which some people will love. By far the best thing about this PDA compared to others is the display - twice as detailed as other PDAs. I was looking at a Palm Zire, but this display got me hooked, and it's definitely worth it. Check this one out - you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Love this thing!
Review: I upgraded from a Handspring Visor Deluxe that I have been using for almost 3 years. The Clie's higher resolution screen and text look really nice. Colors are bright indoors (a little washed in sunlight). Battery life is very good although I wished they would have included a cradle for recharging and synching. Sony only included cables that plug directly into a port at the bottom of the pda. I really enjoy the built-in mp3 player and the jog-dial on the side. The unit fits nicely in my front pocket where it can be quickly accessed. Installation and setup were a snap. Pros Summary: - Great screen resolution and colors.
- Small size and convenient flip cover.
- Integrated mp3 player works and sounds great.
- Good battery life
- Reasonably priced Cons: - Recessed buttons on front bottom can be kind of hard to press.
- No cradle (just plug-in cables).
- Included datebk does not include the week-at-a-glance that was
included on my old visor.
- No voice recorder.

Summary: Good but flimsy
Review: I was happy with the features and screen of this PDA, although its plastic construction felt flimsy compared to my old Palm V. Unfortunately, I have had to return this CLIE for repair/replacement. The innards of the memory stick slot broke loose. SONY warranty service answered my call promptly, and quickly sent me a pre-addressed FedEx carton for return of the unit.

Summary: A young teenager's perspective...
Review: I'm the kind of "kid" that loves electronics. Most kids like to buy snowboards, boom boxes, and CD's... but I like to buy things like PDA's! I love them. My first palm was a Handspring Visor Deluxe. That was a good palm. But i wanted to get a new one with all the bells and whistles. (In my budget range) I finally came to the conclusion to buy this product. I have had if for about a year now, and it has been the best PDA I have seen and owned. (this is my third PDA) It always works, RARELY crashes, (fatal exeption/screen freezes etc.) the screen is awesome!! (I reccomend Acid Image for a good JPEG image viewer) and the MP3 player always and constantly works for me. This is a must for all expierienced and unexpierienced PDA users. I have even dropped it a few times, and it was fine! Everything that they say that this PDA has, it does with flying colors. Please purchase this product and reward Sony for releasing such a genius peace of work! EXELLENT PDA!!!

Summary: Another great Sony PDA
Review: I've been a Palm and Pocket PC user for about 3 1/2 years now, and I've had a number of models, and I'm a big believer in PDAs as a powerful and handy personal organizing tool. Also they double as Gameboys and eBook readers, so you'll never be bored waiting in the doctor's office or standing in the checkout line ever again. Or I just think up more useful ways to use my Palm, which isn't hard. This is another very nice PDA from Sony. Not all users will need these features, however. If you don't need the MP3 player, which will reduce battery life, you might want to just get the Sony SJ22 instead, which is 35% cheaper, and has an even slimmer profile. It also has an audio recording function, which not all users may need, but the speaker actually doesn't sound too bad considering it's probably about the size of a postage stamp. Headphones are included, though, if you want to listen to music. One nice thing is the size and profile. This unit is also about half an inch shorter than the PEG T655 and T615 models, similar to the Palm Tungsten, and along with it and the SJ22, are the first color models to really fit in your front pocket, where I like to carry mine. The integral plastic flip-up cover looks better than the leather flaps on the SJ22 and T655 and T665 models too, and the case has nicely rounded contours that fit better in your hand compared to the latter models, which are more rectangular. With a 66-MHz processor, twice the speed of the recent PEG T665 and T655, units, there is almost no time lag between pressing a function button and having the application pop up, although they all have the same amount of memory--16 megs. I like to store a lot of ebooks on my Palm, and that's enough for at about 50 typical length novels or other books in Palm format, which run about 200k to 400k per book. If you add on a 128-meg memory stick, which you can get pretty cheap these days, that means you could store 400 books on your Palm Pilot--a virtual library in the palm of your hand. Pretty cool. I compared the brightness of the screen with the Handspring Prizm, which has a very bright screen, and also the Palm Tungsten, the Sony PEG T665, and the Palm Zire, and they're all comparably bright. The screen is partially back-reflective TFT technology which is solidly established as the display of choice for these devices now, and it works very well, being visible both outiside and inside. That fixed the problem with early color units like the original Palm IIIc and the HP Jornada which could only be read indoors or at least not in bright daylight. However, you'll notice one characteristic of these screens, ever since their advent on the Compaq iPAQ 3650 Pocket PC, is the slightly milky appearance of the screen. It's not that annoying, however, and is a small price to pay for outdoor visibility. Lastly, the Sony models all have the jog-wheel and the back-button, which makes them almost completely capable of one-handed operation, and is much more convenient that the Palm models. I hope the American Association of Disabled Persons is taking note, here, and will make this their officially approved PDA. For my money this unit is a better buy than the Tungsten at almost a 40% cheaper price, since I don't care about the built-in Bluetooth technology in the Palm, although don't get me wrong, the Tungsten is a great unit. But the lack of software fully supporting OS 5.0 in the Tungsten means you're better off with OS 4.1 in the Sonys. My only gripe is that the back button, compared to the SJ22, is hard to access, being just below the jog-wheel and not as prominent as on the SJ22. You almost have to hit it with the edge of your fingernail. Overall, however, another great PDA from Sony at a competitive price.

Summary: Excellent unit!
Review: I've had my SJ33 for two weeks now, and continue to be very impressed by it's quality and features. The cover closes securely over the screen and keys, so it can be carried in a pocket easily without setting things off accidently. Screen display is very clear, and the instructions are exceptional for an electronics item. My only beef with the unit is that it does not come with a cradle ..., but uses two cords - one USB, one power - which plug into an adaptor which in turn plugs into the PDA. I'd have no trouble recommending it for all but the most demanding users.
