Customer Rating: Summary: Superb res, reliable and versatileComment: I bought mine refurb and after 2-yrs I'm still in love with my SJ20. Although it sometimes fails and auto resets, of all of my gadgets it's by far my best companion at the point I depend on it. Sony's decision of quittin' the PDA business was annoying, I have to say, but my loyalty to Clié remains intact, so whenever somebody asks me for a recommendation on PDAs I always suggest Sony Clié. Right now I'm looking for an upgrade, which shall be a TJ27 (the one that comes with built-in camera), and my beloved SJ20 will remain close to me in my fianceé's hands.Customer Rating: Summary: Nice unit but poor batteryComment: I picked this unit up for my son 2 years ago, he enjoyed it a great deal, until the battery would no longer hold a charge. That happened about a year after he got it. I was just looking into getting a new battery for it so he could use it again and went to a battery store. They checked and an aftermarket replacement cost $49+ plus $5 S&H so I'm still in search mode on that.Customer Rating: Summary: This is the worst PDA I have ownedComment: DON'T believe the hype. I am pretty techno-savy and this unit did not do what it claims to do. The hot-synch did not work properly, the battery had below average life, difficult to reset, poor help files. Oh, did I mention, Sony never sent me the rebate they promised.Customer Rating: Summary: Economy & PowerComment: This is an attractive, compact, useful, easy to use, durable PDA. I had been using a Palm III and really enjoyed the high resolution of the Clie's 320 x 320 screen. Using the backlight drains the battery fairly quickly, but it's necessary for ease of reading, unless you are in an ideal lighting environment. After about 14 months of use, the battery stopped holding a charge as well as it was supposed to, and needs to be recharged about every two days. One of the few design flaws is an adapter required for either recharging or hot syncing. If you recharge in one location, and hot sync in another, you need to keep carrying the adapter around with you. My rebate came in the form of a free leather carrying case. It was so small that it's an ordeal to get the PDA in or out of the case, rendering the case virtually useless. However the protective flap works well and has an attractively accented logo. The jog dial is great for one-handed navigation. The "back" button is handily located on the side, but does not work in many applications, and just returns to the desktop. The search function became unreliable in later months, generating frequent fatal errors. The geek squad "fixed" this with a hard reset, but once data was restored via hot sync, the same problem immediately reocurred. Despite these shortcomings, this is a great organizational tool at a modest price.Customer Rating: Summary: Very solid PDAComment: This little PDA does not have a color screen, does not play mp3s, and will not cook your food for you or drive you to work. As something to store information in, it's great though. It has 16mb of storage, which is enough to hold plenty of images and documents, and with the backlit high-resolution screen, you will see them clearly. The battery lasts quite a while because you are not wasting power on a color screen, too. This PDA is rather unique in that I know of no other one that has a backlit high-resolution grayscale screen. Those things make it the best among low-cost PDAs. Too bad you have to buy it used now. It's also stylishly designed, which helps if you feel sort of silly or geeky whipping out a PDA.
