Review: Great investment. The MP3 is great and the screen resolution is amazing.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: great pda...but beware of super shiny cover!
Review: I bought this Clie to upgrade from my dying Palm Vx (which I love, but must finally lay to rest). I was attracted to the Clie's compact size, many features, and good price. Compared to Palms in the same price range, Sony seems to give you more for your money, such as a higher resolution screen and a faster processor.

When the Clie arrived and I removed it from the box, however, I couldn't get over the shininess of the cover. It doesn't look a thing like the pictures on either Amazon's or Sony's website, the latter of which describes the cover as "smooth and translucent." It's not exactly "translucent" but rather a semi-sheer metallic/iridiscent plastic that ranges from teal to cobalt to purple depending on the viewing angle. And it's so reflective that you can see yourself quite clearly in it--when you're not blinded by the brightness, that is. Sort of like a newly washed car or a flashy pair of sunglasses.

In all other regards, this appears to be a terrific little machine. Very speedy, gorgeous full-color screen, nifty jog-dial on the side for one-handed operation, even doubles as an mp3 player. As for the cover, I assume that the shininess will fade away with fingerprints, dust and regular use--and some people might really like the slick/stylish factor that it adds. Personally, I find this cover *really* bothersome and distracting, so I'll be exchanging for a different model with a brushed aluminum case. Nothing against the PDA itself; the external design is just not what I expected. I wish the online pictures and descriptions had been more accurate.

Bottom line: this Clie is a great choice for a compact and full-featured PDA. Just be prepared for the cover.

Summary: A Great PDA
Review: I don't normally write reviews, but I had to respond to the criticism of the Clie cover. I've owned several PDAs over the years, and this is the best. The hard plastic flip cover is excellent because I don't need a separate case, but the touch screens and buttons are always protected (in my pocket, brief cases, etc.).

Review: I have recently received one of these as a gift, and the little machine was unbelievable. It's easy to use and a great entry level machine that will also keep experts in electronics busy. The best feature has to be the software game bejeweled!!!
