Sony Clie PEG-SJ20 Handheld Reviews

Rating: 5 - I Love My Clie
I don't know what I would do without my Clie! I am fairly new to the PDA world. I did a lot of reading and comparing of PDAs before I purchased my first one which unfortunately, was NOT a Sony Clie. I had purchased a Handspring Visor Pro and shortly after I purchases it, I noticed that they were getting harder and harder to find. I was unhappy to hear that Handspring has put all of it's eggs into the Treo basket - but that is another story. The main reason I switched to the Sony Clie is that a friend of mine had purchased one and when I saw it's compact size, the handy jog dial, back button and detachable but convenient flip top screen cover, I was impressed. What really sold me however was the backlit display. With the Handspring (and most other PDAs I have seen) it is very difficult to read them unless you are in a "daylight" or bright light situation. Trying to read the screen in your average restaurant in the evening, was not possible. I also liked the very portable charging unit that came with the device. The Handspring and many other PDAs come with charging and syncing cradles, but they don't pack away very easily when you need to travel and want to be able to charge your unit while away from home. I would have had to spend more money to get a portable charger for the Handspring, while a very portable charging (and syncing) cable comes with the Sony Clie.

I love my Clie - and recommend it to all who are looking. It has a lot of memory and benefits at a very good price (as far as PDA prices go).

I have recommended the Sony to many friends already.

Rating: 5 - Handheld with style and good specs
Previously I owned a Handspring Visor Deluxe and I must say that this handheld is superior in many respects. It is small and stylish and being compatible with SONY's memory stick the amount of information you can store is greatly expanded. A nice feature of the SONY handhelds is the jog dial which allows you to scroll through adresses. The high resolution screen (320x320 pixels) is also a big improvement over older models. This model comes with a white backlight and should be on when viewing your screen unless you have this PDA in direct sunlight. Unfortunately, the screen without backlight being extremely dim. However, continued use of the PDA with the backlight on will allow you to use it for at least 7 hours without recharging, thus this should not besuch a drawback for the average user. This handheld does not come with a cradle, but does have a AC adapter that allows you to recharge your batteries as well as a USB connector that allows you to do hotsyncs to your PC. Note that this handheld is not compatible with MacOS.

Bottomline: Great B/W PDA with very nice hi-res screen (be it with backlight on) that fits all your basic needs at a very affordable price.
