Disappointed
Advertised to voice translate on Palm OS system as well as pocket PC but the voice to voice translation only works on the pocket PC (too bad I own the palm!) Otherwise, all you get is a talking dictionary (not impressed).I wanted a voice-operated translator, I got a dictionary. ... Read more

Basic Entry - not very feature rich
For the price I thought I'd get more than what amounts to a basic spread-sheet program that sync's with Quicken.

Yes, when I'm spending cash, or using a CC at the store, it's great that I can enter it into the PPC and it will import it into my Quicken.But it's not stand-alone.It won't really track your portfolios.And it does not display any charts or graphs.

For $10 it's worth it, for $30 I would have rather saved the money and just entered in my reciepts when I get home.

I would suggest looking at alternatives like MS Money and SPB Finance.

Perfect for my needs!
I've been a user of Quicken for 5 years now and I'm addicted to tracking my finances through it.When I bought my Pocket PC 4 months ago, I wanted to use it to track my finances also, but it was too expensive at the retail stores.When it finally dropped a few bucks, I decided to try it.I'm mainly wanted it to track the cash I'm spending because in my business I deal with a lot of cash transactions and it's too easy to spend the cash without tracking it and it's a total pain to sit down at a computer with a pocket full of reciepts.

Just like other software, I popped in the CD followed the instructions and everything loaded onto my Pocket PC with the greatest of ease.All of my transactions (the last 3 months), account information, memorized transactions, everything.I printed off the intructions and I'm off and running.Seriously easy to use, I'm just amazed.

If you like to use Quicken, and have a Pocket PC, this software is a MUST have!I absolutely don't regret spending the money on it now. ... Read more

Won't work with Tungsten E ...
because it cannot be attached to it. The description says it is compatible with the Tungsten series, and the other review saying that it was not compatible with Tungsten E was not there when I placed my order. I hope I won't have to pay the return postage ...

Don't Do iT! Buy a paper map instead!
This software maker uses terms like "door to door directions" and "works anytime anywhere". BUT it only has a limited number of city maps. NO maps at all of New Jersey but claims to be metro New York! Package states that maps are available for download but only 56 cities are covered in the whole USA. If you don't stay only in these cities this is worthless. Please Look somewhere else:<

Very, very unhappy
I am NOT happy with this product.They don't even have the major cities in my state, let alone the city I live in.When I emailed them about it, they said they were updating the cities but mine was not on the list and they didn't know when it would be.I'm definitely getting my $40 bucks back and never buying their products again!

Warning: Buy at your own risk!!!
I wouldn't even rate this a '1' because I feel so gipped out of the $35 I spent. I bought this product as a gift for my boyfriend through Amazon a while back-- before there were any reviews about this product. I have to agree with all of the previous reviews. Unless you live in a major metropolitan area, this product is completely useless. I thought that this would be a good alternative for him instead of going to Mapquest on his phone. Now, he just winds up using mapquest anyways. If you need directions to and from the city, 'Directions on the Go' works fine, but if you need to travel from the city to the suburbs or vice versa, you're out of luck.

He never even uses this product anymore... Poor gift choice on my part.

HORRIBLE!! HORRIBLE!!!HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the worst software purchase I've ever made.I wish I looked at the two reviews in before making a decision!I live outside Philadelphia, which is the 5th largest city in the USA.After buying the software and going to all the trouble to download, register, etc, I find out they don't even have a map available for download for the Philadelphia area!!!!!!!!

WORTHLESS!

Now my money is wasted.Buy.com will not take back a return(only store credit less shipping and handling) so I'm f*cked out of 40 bucks and more importantly my valuable time.

A totally and completely worthless product.DO NOT BUY!

Poor Coverage -- Useless!!
Has maps for only 29 states plus D.C.In those 29 states, 16 have only one city!If you travel in California, Florida or Texas, you might get a chance to be frustrated by the slow downoad and inaccurate maps.Otherwise, you have a nice coaster to go with your AOL disks. ... Read more

Nice, But Longevity Not Good
I use this primarily with my ACT! database.Have never even come close to using the maximum memory even with hundreds of contacts and extensive notes.It has served me well for about 2 years; however now the standard plastic screen cover is hard to read through and the machine "resets" itself or locks up requiring a manual "reset" about once per week.For the purchase price I would have expected a much better life to it.

Annoying digitization problem
Although I was happy initially with my Tungsten T, I am no longer happy because it needs to be redigitized several times a day.I am a teacher and use it for a lot of data entry, calculation, and organizing and it is time consuming and aggravating to have to double-check all the time to ensure that the correct item is going in the correct field.I was dismayed to discover within these reviews that this is a glitch that is endemic to all model T's.I am even more upset to discover that it eventually just breaks!At the price I paid, I expected to get several years of use out of it.I am hesitant to replace a defective product with a product from the same company, especially if Palm is not backing up their product with a meaningful solution (as is reported elsewhere in these reviews).

Worked well for a while
Initially I loved my Tungsten T, but after 6 months, the touch screen began requiring repeated recalibration.This has become progressively worse, to the point that recalibrating or repeatedly soft rebooting does not help and the T has died.This all occurred after the warranty period, and the online knowledge base and phone support have been worse than useless.After reading customer feedback here, it appears that several other people have experienced the same problems with the T and the same frustration with Palm support.I'm now shopping for a (non-Palm) replacement.I would strongly discourage anyone from buying what appears to be a flawed product from annon-supportive company.

A real good PDA
This is a really good PDA . It only froze up onze in the year i've had it probaly because of this corructed game i downloaded
for it . I have used it to death , and no problems .
Here are the good things about it:

1.it plays MP3's

2.it has bluetooth

3.A realy nice screen

its fast too

Terrible touchscreen
I bought this model (not at Amazon) and I can say that those devices are very, very useful. I use this model for college (read texts) and to listen MP3s. However, it just became practically unusable after almost 5 months of use (3 months warranty).

So, what happened? Something that I see over and over again on Palm PDAs: the screen fails to recognize where you are pointing the "pen" (called stylus, right?). At the beggining, it was misaligning more frequently. So, I was aligning the screen more and more on the third month, but nothing that I should call a hassle. Then, the worst happened: with more or less 100 days (right after the warranty expired), it started to get extremely worse, like I need to align 2 or 3 times a day. Well, after some days, even the align process wouldn't work anymore...

At least it's still "usable" to read texts and listen to MP3s, but anything that requires lots of input can't be done. Funny that I've seen the same problem on the internet, and a friend bought a Tungsten E and exactly the _same_ problem happened, and on the _same_ period of time. I don't need to say that Palm support was like a "robot" for me and for my friend, automated humans that only says what you already know... I know lots of people at the college, and I can say that I made lots and lots of people don't buy a Palm. I will alert everyone not for the problem, because problems happen (even if this problem seems to happen a lot), but a crappy support is unaceptable.

It was the first and last Palm product I bought. ... Read more

wow, this is more useful than i thought it could be
This is a huge jump for me from a visor(palm os), as long as you like windows os you should be really happy with this pda.it is fast, has plenty of storage for apps and the colors are beautiful.it has multimedia, music, video and jpgs.with windows xp, the device appears as a networked resource when synched, which is very neat.i find that i am able to read books on this device, because the graphics are so good, unlike my palm.i have used the bluetooth capability, and it was moderately difficult to configure on my network.it does seem to suck up power, but i have never experienced powere loss.i have had it for 6 months now, and have only had to reboot the thing once, and it was the result of some crappy shareware.

cheers...

It's ok, too bad there is so little suport from Microsoft
It works quite well as far as Pocket PC goes. It's a good little unit. I've not have a major problems with the hardware. It's a shame that Microsoft offers so little in the way of support. Too bad. This is my second Pocket PC, and probably the last. Microsoft's online help is pretty much useless, and that's all there is. If you are interested in the basic calendar type of stuff, you will probably be happy. If you need anything beyond that, good luck. The new sub-notebook computers with Windows-XP are so much more capable, why suffer ? I got a new Fujitsu and am very happy with it. It's a shame that the company who wrote the o/s treats it like an unwanted orphan. It's got such a great unrealised potential. I really wish MS would really get behind it.

Nice, but only for 6 monthsThen you have to buy another
This is a very nice unit.The screen is clear the memory expandable, the price just right.THE MAJOR DRAWBACKS are that the computer burns out after 6-7 months leaving you high and dry with the company.The secondary battery fails even when you have the unit plugged into the charger erasing all of you files and system memory.
[...]I would go with something that has a reputation for working longer than a goldfishes memory.

Very hard to beat for the price
I have worked with Windows CE/Pocket PCs from the very first models (loved the Philps Velo ;-)), and have always appreciated their functionality.I do quite a bit of research when upgrading to a new PDA/Pocket PC.And considering the price ($200 after a $100 rebate) the V36 is pretty much unbeatable.The screen equals the iPAQs I have used at work over the years, and the V36 is smaller/lighter (a big requirement for me since I carry mine in my pocket).It has a nice processor, generous memory and I agree with other reviews that the camera takes surprising good pictures (albeit you do need good light and the pictures are low res).The fact that the V36 has an SDIO slot (not just an SD slot) is a huge plus for me as well.I use my unit to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots daily and an SDIO slot is necessary to support any of the 802.11b cards on the market (I use a SanDisk ConnectPlus card that is both an 802.11b card and 256MB flash memory card in one - a perfect compliment for this device btw).For a total of about $315 ($200 for the V36 and about $115 for the Sandisk Wi-Fi + Flash memory card) I have a small light, powerful Pocket PC with lots of memory, wireless connectivity and a camera!(compare that price to some of the competing PDAs that have integrated Wi-Fi (and no camera) and you're looking at $500-$600) The V36 is probably the best deal on the market :-) At least it is for me.

Please BeWare and ForeWarned!
I purchased this product and within 2 months it starts to behave in a strange way, out of no where.It goes from working perfectly to shutting down without warning.I contacted Tech Support, with them providing a method of re-starting, but of course I lose all information data.It restarts but only for a few days, then shuts down and will not re-start.This continues for 5 months.I communicate again with Tech Support, they give instructions for sending unit in to be checked.They call me stating unit is not covered under warranty due to a cracked display, which was not the case at all when I very carefully packaged and shipped it.It was in "like new" condition, had never been dropped nor mishandled.The cost to repair was $270.00!!I refused to go with that option and will never buy another of their products.In my opinion their customer service and tech support is lousy and certainly not trustworthy.There are too many other good choices of products out there to have to worry about being "hung out to dry" with a worthless warranty.

Poor construction, overpriced, but takes great pictures
I have brought this V36 from Compusa and I have had to return twice within 3 months. This unit is overpriced for its features and capablities. If you are thinking of buying this product I would recommend buying eaither a HP Pocket PC or a Dell Pocket PC. Also if you are thinking about putting a Wi-Fi (SD) Card and using it to access the internet and e-mails I would extremly advise you not to buy this product.
But in saying this all the camera included in this PDA takes great pictures and even takes long video shoots.
So far Compusa has stopped selling the product and I have recently brought a Dell Axim X30 which works great. ... Read more

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionar
I got this for my new PalmOne Zire 72. The dictionary has lots of function but doesn't work well with my palm. Everytime when I try to write a "t", it will go back to the previous screen instead of having a "t" on my word. And the software itself is not easy to use. After I have used it for a few times, it started to crash my operating system everytime I try to open the dictionary or insert the dictionary sd card to my palm. If you own a Zire 72, my best suggestion is not to get this dictionary.I returned mine and got another different one; it doesn't have as many functions as the Merriam-Webster's, but it works great and easy to use. Most importantly, it's completely capatible with my palm pilot.

Excellent Dictionary
This is a great little dictionary.Perhaps I shouldn't say "little" since it has 200,000 definitions.But I use it on my HP 3115 and it seems little.Easy to read, easy to move around the dictionary.You can click on one of the words in the definition and you get a little pop up window that allows you to view that defintion and then return to the previous word or name or whatever.There are biographical and geographic entries as well, not to mention the thesaurus.It is so handy to have such a great reference work within arm's reach when you need a bit of information.The occasions for its use are endless.Highly recommended.

What is a MobiReader?
Sure, the dictionary has a lot of words, but the problem is finding them.The search screen is extremely jumpy when using the graffiti interface.I can rarely get more than a couple letters in the search box before the program jumps off to the wrong word.

Now my graffiti skills are pretty good; I don't have this kind of problem with other Palm programs.The dictionary's search program (MobiReader?) doesn't want to wait for t's to be crossed and i's to be dotted.So a search for 'tea' and you'll end up with the first word starting with 'L'.I've resorted to using the popup keyboard screen to enter words.Not what I've come to expect from Palm-based programs.

Good Dictionary Bad Software
I bought this dictionary for use with a Palm T3. The dictionary is pretty good and reasonably comprehensive. However, it uses the MobiPocket 4.6 as the reader software. It never tells you that anywhere, I just happened to download this sofware earlier and recognized it.This reader is horrible for a dictionary. When you try to make the letter "t" or "i" using Grafitti it triggers the go back action. Also if you try to delete a letter it triggers the go back action. It also doesn't take advantage of the full screen. These shortcomings seem to all be addressed in the new 4.7 reader but it is not clear yet if I have to buy the new reader (which costs just about as much as this card) and if I do if I can even use the new reader with the card's databases. It was inexcusable to marry this dictionary to an inappropriate reader and furthermore to not disclose that anywhere. ... Read more

Doesn't work
The program doesn't work, and neither does the support telephone number.

Outstanding Support
After purchasing the software I encountered installation problems. I phone tech support and immediately got Howard who was very helpful and patient as I am not a computer person. Howard made installing the software and getting to work simple. Simple enough to where I can assist my co-workers in installing and using intellisync should the same situation present itself. Intellisync tech support was OUTSTANDING!

Painful to make it work... When it does, its fine.
I bought this program to sync my lotus note application.

The installation is actually very simple... if you know what you are doing.Problem is, the instructions that come with the program are horrible. Thus, you'll probably have to call support at some point because even the web site doesn't offer better information on installing the application and configuring it with your desktop application.

I was on hold for 45 minutes with support.They were friendly and helpful when they finally got on the phone.I did have to make a follow up call the next day.This time, I was only on hold for about 5 minutes.

The sad thing is that Puma Tech could and should invest the minimal resources it requires to put together a good instruction manual.

No Help
This works fine with Palm OS but I bought it to get email attachments with Pocket PC.The only way it seems to work is to run a complete sync everytime, very slow and tedious, and that just duplicates the same message from ActiveSync. Here's the zero rating:The CD you buy leads you to an online update, I think the entire program gets downloaded, then you install that and you get a message that "uninstall files are missing, you might not be able to uninstall" it.No way to stop the installation at that point.I tried uninstalling Intellisync and it cannot be done. I emailed support and so far the only response was an acknowledgement.I tried XP Restore to before I installed it and it's still there but now asking me to purchase a licensed version, mine was just before the update download.Reinstalling over the original or update made matters worse.I tried to get the uninstall files that are aparently missing.Now the core files are missing and it cannot be reinstalled or uninstalled.Can't wait for the rebates.

Excellent Product
This is the swiss army knife of synchonization softwares. It supports just about every PIM you could ask for. Most importantly, it's fast. I have a Palm myself and quickly disposed of the Chapura PocketMirror product (which comes with the Palm) not because it didn't work, but because it was too slow. ... Read more

One of the best PDAs in the market
I've been using my Sony Clie NX80V since a year, and is still impressive the performance of this palm... the swivel screen allows you to use this like a normal PDA or like a laptop, an even better with its small keyboard, convenient for thumb fingers or small hands. I also found amazing the dual (CF and MemoryStick) card reader, and if you buy the WiFi CF card for Clie, you can do everything with this handheld. Besides, it has a lot of convenient software, like the Picsel viewer and NetFront browser. The only software I added is DocumentsToGo, and I can edit my .doc and .xls files (even simple PowerPoint presentations), and still view it in my PC when I plug my Clie to it. The screen is huge, brillant with its wonderful shrinkable Graffiti area, that allows you to add direct access to many applications you use often. Finally the camera is really great (I haven't seen any PDA with a 1.3M pixels built-in camera... and fast), and Sony knows how to make it look beautiful, including the cradle, and the MP3 player sound great, and much better with the hand controller.

It's one of the best products I've ever used

Say Goodbye To Sony's US and European PDA Market
I love my Sony Clie, PEG NX80V.I bought it less than a year ago, and the resolution, screensize and vivid display still astound my associates.The performance is quick for PDAs made in 2003, and the product is still superior in technology when compared to most of todays sales.I have to complain that Sony stopped offering online updates (drivers, patches, etc) for this product less than 7 months after releasing it. Now, after current stocks run out, Sony will retreat to ASIA, where they are selling the latest PDA, it's really going to blow you away.
Compare Sony to Palm, and Sony comes in about equal. I recommend buying this product new or used, it has never let me down.

It's All About Accessories - The Good and the Bad
In today's world of electronic gadgets, there are two things that really are frustrating:1) Once you buy an electronic gadget - it often is obsolete the next day; 2) You often need to get lots of accessories to get the most use of your gadget.On top of that, when you are ready to buy a replacement gadget to replace the one you want - all of the accessories you bought are suddenly no good. Thus, the dilemma I faced when my old Palm IIIc finally showed signs it was nearing the end of its life was what to buy.I had used my IIIc for 3 1/2 years. During this time, I had such accessories as a Leather Case,A Keyboard, and a Travel Charger.Now as I was viewing what Palm (today) had to offer, I discovered that those nice accessories I owned were suddenly no good because none of the new models that Palm offered were compatible with them. Not a happy camper. As I mention above, this isn't a Palm-specific problem, but a problem with consumer electronics - and something companies in the consumer electronics industry have completely taken advantage of the consumers.

Enter Sony's Clie PEG-NX80V - this is known as Sony's Personal Electronics Organizer. In addition to being a very impressive unit, it did seem to solve some of my immediate problems around accessories, but of-course introduced a new set of accessory problems I did not imagine.

First up the unit itself. It is a beautiful unit that will immediately make a great first impression.It is silver and basically looks like a mini tablet computer. For starters, the unit folds down into its own hard case - so I didn't need to buy any extra cases because this protected the screen (I keep mine in a Day Planner binder, but you still may want a leather cover to prevent case scratches).When you open the unit, you will see a screen and a keyboard - now it looks like a mini laptop. The Keyboard solved my dilemma of having to buy a keyboard (I use mine to enter sales data and really depend on a keyboard - this one works great). Now the cool feature is you can swivel the screen around and fold it back down on top of the keyboard into the traditional PDA view - now its just like a regular PDA. The PEG-NX80V package also comes with a beautiful looking USB cradle in which the back of the cradle is translucent. In addition, the AC Charger unplugs from the cradle and can be plugged into an plug adapter that connects to the unit - now you have your travel charger.Yes, the plug adapter is included.That solved my travel adapter problem (I take it on the road a lot).The unit also has a slot for expanding memory with a Sony Memory Stick or Compact Flash Card as well as connecting a wireless lan card.

There are some other impressive features with this unit. First up the stuff you get out of the box.The unit comes loaded with Palm OS 5.Sony also packages their own version of the Launcher Program - which looks very attractive.The Sony Launcher does get some getting used to, but I like it because it looks good.If you can't get used to it, you can switch to the traditional Palm OS launcher.There is a jog dial on the unit for making scrolling lists very easy. To write, the unit comes with Palm's Graffiti 2, but there is something better - the Decuma Input Handwriting Recognition Software.Decuma Input has a utility where you enter your handwriting and then the unit will recognize your writing.I found the change from standard Graffiti to Graffiti 2 a bit annoying.But Decuma Input is terrific and once you get used to it, you won't go back.The unit will allow you to switch between Decuma Input and Graffiti.The unit comes with an application that will turn your PDA into a Universal Remote Control to use with such devices as a TV, DVD, VCR, etc.Finally the unit comes with a built in voice memo recorder for recording quick voice memos, storing them in the unit and playing them back.Only thing disappointing is a very cheap styled stylus.

As for this being a Personal Electronics Organizer, it has some terrific features - but also some warnings. For starters it has a Built in 1.3 Megapixel Camera with a flash - its only 1.3 Megapixels, so it won't replace your digital camera.It's a nice feature and you can store pictures and do some cool things like put photos in your address book.Be warned - snapping a picture will consume a lot of power from your battery (especially with the flash) - more than you expect.Be also warned, you MUST have a Memory Stick to export/import pictures with your PC and Clie - thus another accessory. There also is a built in MP3 Player (the unit does come with headphones) and a Movie Camera as well.Using the MP3 unit and Movie Camera does require the Use of a Memory Stick - thus this becomes another "required" accessory.The Data Backup Program does also require the Memory Stick.From looking at the specs, it isn't intuitive you need the Memory Stick for these features.

While this is a great unit and it did solve my accessory problems, it created a whole new set of others (namely with the Memory Stick).It is also worth noting to get the Wireless LAN for internet access is a costly accessory as well.However the unit is still very impressive looking and works terrific.Price out what accessories you want and need - then shop carefully.Your bet is to try to get it on sale or for a rebate though to get the most for your money.

After over a year of daily use...
This is my third PDA, the priors were Palm IIIvx, Sony Clie 610C. I really use my PDA all day, so I could justify paying a bit more for a nicer PDA.I have friends with CE based machines and they really don't use them nearly as much as I use mine.

Pros:
Too many to mention all of them, but the all add up to great usability.I really used a lot of the features that I thought were just bells and whistles.The flip display is great because you don't need a case unless you are trying to keep the unit pretty.The camera was a life-saver for shooting white boards before they get erased and showing tech support problems that were hard to describe over the phone/email without a picture.The voice memo took excellent notes even at conference meetings (much better than my friend's Palm Tungsten 2).Additional apps such as a mileage log (Trip) have been so important to me that I replaced the hard-wired button for notes with it. The Silk Launcher has a mode that adds more app buttons to the graffiti area.

Battery life is very good. I would often go for 3 or 4 days between charges, regardless of the display brightness.If I reduced the brightness, I could go for a week of light use between charges.

Cons:
A tad big.Too heavy to tote around for MP3s at the gym.
After well over a year of heavy use, the Power/Hold slider button died, making the unit unusable (Fortunately, I sync'd up just a few hours before it broke!).

Decision Time:
Sony want's $150 to fix it.For double that, I can get a new one, and since no other PDA surpasses the UX80V, I think I will do that.I have been very rough on my Clie, but it really is a workhorse for me.

Great PDA for medschool students
Great PDA, I'm a medschool student and it helps a lot in the hospital and in the classrooms. A lot of free medical software to download from the web. The camera it's awesome, it has a slow shutter function that allows you to take pictures even in dark rooms; the resolution (1.3MP) it's good and I can take pictures of patients, X ray films, CT scans and more with nice quality.
The battery lasts for at least 5 hours of continuous work, and the integrated keyboard helps a lot when you're tired of using the stylus. The internal memory it's quite short, but I bought a 256 MB Lexar MS (not too expensive) and don't have any problem.
I do recomend this PDA for medschool students because it's a helpful tool in the hospital (specially the camera). The free software I found on the web includes drug guides, medical calculators, diagnostic and tratment tools, medical news software, etc, etc, etc. ... Read more

AWFUL
This crashed my Palm when I loaded it.The Hold Em doesn't play correctly.It gives you options of Check, Check and Fold.There is NO way to raise.Then a computer player who doesn't have the best hand "WINS" the hand.There is no way to start a new game except to move to a new table which has the same problems.Sending it back pronto.If I could give it negative stars I would.One star is WAY too generous.Save your money. ...

Excelent option for palm lovers
I came from using TRGpro & Handera 330. Difficult to find a new PalmOS machine with the high usability of extinguished models.
I bought this unit recently, and love it. The screen is sharp (screen protector is a must before any use) and colourful. The dual card option (memory stick & CF) is scarse in PalmOS PDAs. I am a pediatrician an use both 1GB CF & 512MB MSPro cards.If you need to store a lot of data for reference or database needs, then NX-73V or NX-80V is for you. The difference: 5MB more (real) RAM and 1.3MP camera for NX80V. But NX73V is comparable in use and has a beautiful black case.
JackFlash is a must to take use of 15MB aditional FlashROM memory available inside the NX73V, so you take many files off RAM (to cards or FlashROM) to make space available.
Hope Palm & others will offer dual card capability in the future for PalmOS, but it would be unlikely.

I like it!
I gotta say, I bought this thing thinking that I would probably just use it to store numbers and play MP3's.I've owned the old Palm Pilot Original, the Palm V, and now this Clie.I must say that the Clie simply blows everything else out of the water.It's like a mini computer! I can view pictures, PDF's, XLS, DOC with the bundled software. The screen resolution is really awesome.

I've found myself taking it wherever I'm going (which is the point of a PDA!!!). This never happened before with my older PDA's because they were simply calendars and phonebooks... I enjoy having the camera on me at random times.Taking a little picture of my favorite dish at a restaurant or capturing a great picture of my dog at the park.Those are times you always wished you had brought your digicam but never had it on you!

The DECUMA input sucks... you need to write really neatly and separate e a c hl e t t e rso that it knows what you're talking about.I much prefer Graffiti 2.Graffiti 2 is soooo much cooler than Graffiti 1 that I have been using previously.BUT best of all, this thing has a QWERTY keyboard. I cannot stress how much nicer it is to use the QWERTY.I haven't used the stylus much at all. Most of my inputs are now a process of using my fingertip and then using the keyboard.It REALLY is much faster.

I also enjoy the fact that the thing doesn't have to boot up to get to the digicam or the voice recorder. One click of either button and the unit automatically snaps to the application you are requesting.I am enjoying taking oral notes with the voice record feature when I'm on the go and don't have time to type.

Overall, I'd suggest that you also check out the NX80 due to the better camera.I think I'll buy an NX80 eventually, but right now, for the price, the 73V does exactly what I need without costing TOO much.

Glad I Upgraded
Previous happy owner of a Clie NR60 but had to upgrade when I dropped it and broke the screen.The NX73 has everything I liked about my previous machine and in addition is Faster, has better screen resolution, and the Upgraded Palm OS.The Decuma handwriting recognition is great.The more I use it the more I like the ablity to take notes in my writing.The camara is lame and not a reason to buy this machine.The option for using CF cards is great plus in flexibility and cost.If you like to type your notes into your PDA, then this machine is not for you.The touch of the keyboard gives barely enough feedback.The Tungsten C has much better keyboard feel if you feel this is important.Bottom Line, if you like the big screen of the CLIE clamshell models (which to me makes a big difference), this is definitely the machine to buy.

NX73v is a slight upgrade from the previous nx series
The only thing that made me upgrade to this nx73v from my nx60 was the Decuma handwriting input.It is by far the best input software and I have been a graffiti user for 5 years.I thought I was fast on graffiti, but with decuma, I can write more naturally and much more quickly.Sony does it again. ...

Good not Great
I think it's pointless to go on and on when writing a review so I'm gonna keep this short:
The Sony clie peg-nx70v is one wonderful piece of equipment.
I found that I extremely liked some of it's features like the compact design with the rotating screen, the thumb keyboard, the icon lay out, the camera/video recorder, and the voice recorder.
However, I rate it only good not great because of the annoying weight, how prone it is to being damaged, it's batery which tends to die rather quickly, and it's price.

Overall, I recomend the Sony clie peg-nx70v to most anybody!

me and my Clie
This thing has more buttons & bells than I'll ever use!I'm glad I bought a book "How to use Your Clie".The included paperwork doesn't begin to explain everything you can do.Screen display is sharp & clear.I like using Graffiti to enter data rather than the keyboard. (You have three entry methods to choose from.)

Great product
Unbelievable technology!!!Great sony software to improve the useability and increase the features available.Incredible leadership by Sony, very innovative.I purchased mine for $299 a display model at a local retailer, I had a 32 mb memory stick from a video camera I had,I have only had the CLIE for a few days but its wonderful,I have not tried to sync it yet, for mac you need the program the Missing Sync for 30$ you can download it I haven't yet, but I have read good reviews and it seems like a solid program.

No complaints, it seems that something like this should costat least$1500.The software that Sony provides for it is excellent Bravo Sony!!!I purchased the Zire 71 which is also an excellent product at a great price around $249, but if you can get the Sony for anywhere close to $369 or more its still a great deal.

Great Product
I have had one of these since they came out. I havent had any problems with it except a stuck pixle. I purchased mine from a retail store with the warrenty so i had it replaced.

Superb!!!
Sony hit a home run with this model of the PDA. This is my 8th PDA, and it's far and away the best. The display is very readable. The colors are great and really pop!! The machine is very customizable. The operating system is an improvement over the past offerings. I realize that Palm produced the basic OS, but Sony has added a lot of value for buyers of this most excellent machine. It's fast and accurate. YOU ROCK SONY!!!!!

The only drawback is that it doesn't use the Memory Stick Pro specification. But that's just a matter of a difference in specification maturity.

It can still use the 128 MB and 256 MB (128 MB x 2). It is enough storage for most folks.

The 70 is a splendid machine. ... Read more

How many pictures will it store?
How many pictures will it store?It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about.Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The SanDisk SDSM-64-A10 SmartMedia 64MB, like most 64MB cards, will store on average 71 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 53 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera,32 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 25 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 20 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera.These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Works Great and Lasts Forever!!
I've been using SanDisk Memory in my Olympus Camera for the last three years.The price is right and I've never had any problems!

Outdated, but solid memory device
The SmartMedia Memory Cards are among the older of the portable storage technology devices.I continue to use one because my digital camera requires one.The drawbacks of the SmartMedia technology is that it is a very static format which leads to slow writing times and no variables speeds to the card.Don't curse the card for those failings, though.It is an older format.Newer devices are incorporating the more flexible Secure Digital (SD) and x-D Picture Cards.However, the SmartMedia format still holds its own in preserving the quality of the data being stored.Its design does not allow for any versions larger than the 128 MB variety, but it provides competent performance and is relatively inexpensive.That still makes the SmartMedia a viable memory source.

Card quit, lackluster support
This card worked wonderfully for a few months--not an error, good performance, very versatile. However, a few weeks ago it stopped working, could not be formatted, and became a worthless piece of plastic and metal. The SanDisk website offered very little help, and their e-mail support team never replied to my e-mails. Next time, I'll remember not to buy SanDisk. ... Read more

Not the best handheld, but it is still my choice.
The TG50 is not the best Clie, but it is my top choice. I bought it when it first came out, and I broke the motherboard by having it in my bag. I loved it so much I ordered another one on ebay for $110.

TG 50
I got my tg50 from ebay, you all should.It retails for about $300, I got a used one(that is great) for $97, less than I payed for my clie sj20 (b and w screen)
1- keyboard, gotta have it cause i hate graphiti
yah it takes a little getting used to but i like it (but it obviously doesn't compare to the one on the ux50)
2- Truely awesome crisp colorful screen
3-well thought out and overall fantastic design
4-very thin (1/2 inch thick)
5-OS 5
i previously had a sony sj20, which has a palm OS (no OS 5), so I am used to a palm pda, but that being this pda is extremely easy to use, I never looked at the manual, but figured out all the features anyway.
Neccessary accessories include
-a memory stick (64mb if just using for apps, 256 if you want to store a few songs(get these on ebay too, for about half price))
-a case, if you are getting a case that stays on it all the time(custom fit) which I recommend get the Bellagio one, its nice and it allows the pda to hotsync in a cradle while still in the case

Down and Out After One Year
What a nightmare. I had bought my Clie less than a year ago when it refused to stay on. After several tries to do a "hard boot" on it where I had to constantly restore y data from my back up I called what Sony loosely refers to as Customer Support.... What a misnomer. It took me approximately10 days just to get a person on the phone that understood the problems with my Clie and agree to let me send it in for warranty repair. I found the Service Tech's rude and very hard to understand. I needed to repeat what the problem was with the unit several times and was told it wasn't under warranty. I had to prove to them the date of purchase...not a problem.

Once they got their hands on it they decided that it had physical damage that caused the problem. I had had an area on the screen that had faded for at least 1-2 months before the problems began on a unit I used several times a day. After 10 days they phoned me back to say it was physical damage and they needed $138.00 to cover the repair and shipment of my unit. After I had paid the ransom for the return of my Clie to me it took another 15-20 days of constant phone calls to get status of the repair. Once they stated it would be sent the next day and to call for a tracking number. Once that they were waiting for parts, then that it was in for exchange due to the fact they were unable to keep it booted. This was my initial problem. Finally have someone call back from Sony San Diego stating that they no longer made my model and want to send me a sub-standard unit to replace it. If I want them to replace mine with a like unit that had the equipment on it I once hadI will have to give them another $60.00. They have little respect for their customers and have no qualms in using the old it was physical damage to make up for a poor warranty service. To this day I still have nothing resolved. I would give anything to have bought from any other company than Sony.

Sony Clie TG50 and my eMac
I bought my Clie TG50 a week ago as the sales person said "it runs OS 5.0 so it will work with your eMac", I learned sales clerks know as much as I do about technology! I purchased the refurbished Clie and bought it home 200 miles to learn it isn't compatible at all with my eMac. After phone calls and frustration, I learned to download "Missing sync" off the internet ($40), go to apple.com, download iSync and iSync conduit for PDA. Now I was finally having some success. Now that I have my eMac talking the same language as my Clie TG 50, I am really digging it.I love the date book, the memo's, the fact with a memory stick I can listen to music. I have downloaded a freeware game or two.My old paper date book has been retired, now I pack around a lite little box that has my info and some entertainment to boot. And my purse weighs a lot less!!In a way, if that clerk hadn't sold me this Clie', I wouldn't have learned so much about it and my eMac.

Very good value for your money
I have used the TG-50 for about 9 months now and it has performed well.In addition to the basic PDA functions, I like the one button activated voice recorder.I also use it to play MP3s and music videos and it works well.

I use Outlook on my PC when I hot sync, and have not had a problem.The software that comes with the TG-50 lets you sync with Outlook without much hassle.

The only irritaion that I have had is, sometimes it will give an error and the only option left is a hard reset.However, when it comes back up the most recent data is still there (I use a memory stick). Use the TG-50 with a memory stick and back-up regularly.Data back-up is essential no matter what technology you use.

Bottom line is...It really is a cool little gadget, and provides great value for your money. ... Read more
