Sony Clie PEG-UX50

• Reviewed by: bambuy

  Strengths: The size and weight is unbeatable. It has so many features like the camera, mp3, full keyboard, and of course it's wireless. I also like that you can move the display around to make it even smaller.

  Weaknesses: I'm not crazy about the power button but it isn't the worst thing either. The keyboard may not be so good for someone with large fingers.

  Overall: Overall I'm thrilled with the capability of this tiny machine. It is going to be taking the place of my laptop for travel. It will also be taking the place of my digital camera for when I'm looking around at real estate.

  Strengths: Easy to use. Not bulky. Fits in many carriers/ pouches. Long-lasting battery. Great warranty. Free post purchase training at CompUSA. A lot of 'learned' positive features. Huge sftwre collection.

  Weaknesses: Expensive. Low resolution still cam. Attention-getter in meetings. Dislike the rubber-held USB cover.Appearance: Looks somewhat like a toy computer.

  Overall: Teach "digital" at a training center,e.g., web cams, cams, imaging, PDAs. Used Clies for years. Now own the 50. Much better than the 90(the brick). Smaller, more versitile, great keyboard compared with ones before. Pro memory stick (up to a GB) capable. Bluetooth and wi-fi (included). Wud have to pay more for included features with other PDAs. Carry it as I did the Palm Vx. Not much larger. Prefer the landscape screen. Can use the thousands of Palm-related software. Amazing evolution. Early Clies wud crash at the drop of a pin. Haven't experienced one 'lockup!' Every student I've had who bought one raves about it, more so than any other PDA owned. Believe Sony finally has caught on. Looks and 'feels' good. Not a toy.

  Strengths: It does everything. Well almost!

  Weaknesses: Not user friendly for a first time handheld owner

  Overall: I love Sony products. You get quality when you buy Sony. I downloaded the manual for easier reference. I'm still learning but feel this was a good purchase. You need to add a memory stick to access more options. The camera and video is easy to use.

  Strengths: Small manageable Size, larger memory, Crisp and wide display/colors, wireless connectivity built in

  Weaknesses: Price, poor quality of camera(not very useful - compared with NZ90)

  Overall: Overall, an excellent product. It is small, light and the wide form factor display makes it a very desirable product. Wide display helps in web browsing - the included browser howser NETFRONT could be a real minus. The layout of the available software functions is very well designed - one can easily find the target grouping for a particular program. This is a very desirable product even with its drawbacks,

  Strengths: Intergrated Wireless,Bluetooth. I like the landscape screen, it looks like a mini laptop. Choice of input (keyboard,Pen) I can use my memory sticks from my sony ditial camera with it.

  Weaknesses: Screen could be larger for more intense users but it is ok for me.

  Overall: I bought this for my wife who has been complaining about how she forgets her schedule. I have been using it, just to play with it, since I am a techno geek and love a new toy in the house. This is my first PDA and have researched PDA's and found that I got the most bang for the buck with this one. I believe certain manufactures specialize in certain types of products and I fond that sony excells in PDA's with this new line. I didn't like their older line that use to weigh 8oz, too heavy. When I received this one I thought it was going to be a lot bigger, I was superised. Never looked at it in person, only pictures online. Plan on using Wireless when I set up my wireless network at home. No use for blusetooth right now, but better be prepared then not to be. Fits in my dress shirt pocket and not to heavy. Screen swivles so that it folds on top of the keyboard (if not using it).
