Sony TH55 CLIE PDA

Strengths: Integrated wireless LAN, large (480 x 320 dots) screen, built-in camera, too many other features to list!

Weakness: Only 32MB RAM available, no cradle, expensive memory sticks

I bought this TH55 two weeks ago and have been ve3y happy with it so far. I had been using an iPaq 3850 and was content with it, but thought I'd give a PDA with the Palm OS a try. The screen on this PDA is beautiful and it is pretty easy & quick navigating through the programs. The built-in camera is nice for photos to email or just to have on your PDA, but they are not the quality to print out a...

Sony TH55 CLIE PDA

Strengths: It has a variable speed processor, which gives it 24 hours of time as an MP3 player, it has a huge screen, docs to go w/ a download, WiFi, and many other great features

Weakness: I know the processor is variable speed for low power, but I would like to have seen a slightly higher number before the processor. The screen digitizer could be more durable, like the Tungsten series.

It is a great PDA, and probably the only one I will own for a while. The only palm that rivals it is the T3, but it has bad battery life, and no WiFi. Like Palm handhelds, it comes with many good installed programs, culminating with the Clie Organizer and Documents to Go. Many people have claimed that the cover is flimsy, but I would trust it to support the handheld, and keep it from getting...

Sony TH55 CLIE PDA

Strengths: Large high resolution screen. WIFI, Thin and stylish.

Weakness: No Bluethooth in North America, Memory stick instead of SD

I have had the TH55 for a little more than two weeks. I can say that I am extremely impressed with it. As all of you already know it is an excellent gagged. Thanks to the way the processor works the battery lasts for a long time. Normaly I do not have to recharge it for 3-4 days. To me this is the one. There are some miner problems that I find, but I can live with them. It is not easy to take out...

Sony TH55 CLIE PDA

Strengths: Fast, great graphics, great features

Weakness: Easily Scratched shell and cover.

This is the absolute best pda i have ever owned, but it is too easily damaged, and not durable at all. It has great features, such as the graphics, ram, speed, sound, and many other aspects.

Sony TH55 CLIE PDA

Strengths: Clie organizer is great, Mobile Manager makes Wi-Fi setup easy, Camera is good for daylight pictures Buttons are postioned well Great Battery life

Weakness: Needs cradle, Good Cover, Video recording application

This is third sony clie I have purchased in the last 2 years. The is by far the most sleek and best model I have used. Daytime pictures (0.3MP)are good, but the bad news is that it does not have a video recorder. The mobile manager has taken the problem of configuring the Wi-Fi. Just answer few questions and you are connected. The voice recorder is good and the volume is good with audio player....

Sony TH55 CLIE PDA

Strengths: Easy to use, great battery life, Nice Screen, Wireless works greats...pick ups my wireless rigth away...

Weakness: No cradle included...

Great PDA...I used to have a UX50...TH55 is much easier to use and the screen is huger than the UX50...the wireless works perfect...but the screen works on up and down...wish it was viewable right to left... And it has no cradle...I guess to save some cost...but you can get UC55...I recommed you to get one...it's much easier to "hotsync" with the cradle... The battery life is excellent...with...

Sony TH55 CLIE PDA

I've owned a TH55 for almost four months and have been extremely satisfied. I wonder if PC World's reviewer ever got past the Clie's (to him) bewildering menu selections to see what the handheld really is. He said the camera is a 1.2 megapixel---it's a .3. He complained about Doc-to-Go not being bundled---it's available free when you register the TH55 with Sony. Great PDA---poor review.

Sony TH55 CLIE PDA

Strengths: Long battery life, Slender and has a high quality feel to it, Nice Bright Screen, Scroll from the back makes it feel natural, Camera, Voice Recorder, Wi-Fi, Infrared, Easy access keyboard, Hold button

Weakness: Only 32 MB internal memory, Only 123 MHz speed,

This is my first PDA so I have no other experience to compare the Clie TH-55 with. After getting acquainted with this Clie, I have concluded that it's an excellent tool for scheduling and keeping little reminder notes or memos, and reading ebooks, and also, listening to music (you'd need a memory stick for this). However, if your ebook is really big, it would take a very, very long time to find...

Sony TH55 CLIE PDA

Strengths: Great Screen - True Sony Color!

Weakness: Where is my Cradle? Also Memory Stick for it is Pricey.

I Love it :) Most PDAs nowadays are made cheaply (manufactured in China or Korea) but this one is made in Japan and Feels extremely Sturdy. Would highly Recommend - go buy it NOW!!
