Best Entry Level PDA
I spent a long time looking at various different models and asking people before buying a Sony. My efforts were rewarded. It is the best design for your buck. I use it to connect with Outlook (a must if you are going to use a PDA effectively), for some simple games and to keep up on news via Avantgo. The screen is clear and bigger than Palm rivals enabling reading of even long articles without killing your eyes. My wife struggles with her Palm M105 in this respect. It has a solid/well built feel (not shared by Palm and Handspring) and useful Sony-unique functions such as the jog wheel for scroll down and the memory stick slot. For the money you get much more basic memory and the addition of even a small memory stick makes it much more powerfull than competitor models.
The only two slight whines I have are the fact that it isn't supplied with a cradle, you need two cables to sink and charge it and the battery gets eaten quickly if you use the back light.

Loved it while it still worked
I had a great first few weeks with my Clie. Lot's of memory, good screen, handy controls, good bundled software.But last week it didn't turn on. I've tried all the normal tricks without success. The Sony support site was not very helpful ("Try a soft reset."). And Sony tech support hasn't responded to my messages.... Statistically speaking, yours probably won't break. If it works, you'll love it.

Love my PDA
My parents bought this for me as a graduation gift. I had done extensive research to decide which PDA would be best for me and my lifestyle. I picked a winner with this one. It is easy to use, I have never had any problems syncing - which I hear is often the problem with PDAs. The software provided was easy to follow and quick to set up. The only complaint that I can think of is that I can't seem to find the screen savers anywhere, either because it's a popular brand and they're always out or because it's an older brand. The cover that comes with the unit pops off easily too, but it's equally easy to pop back on. It's a very slim unit and fits comfortably in my purse.

a good pda but service stinks
The pda worked fine, in fact, as perfect as it comes for the basic operations. The memory stick is great, especially if you have other Sony equipment that uses it. However, after two months of use it all of a suddent went dead. The usual tricks like resetting, etc. failed to revive it, and Sony technician had me send it for service, express mail and all paid by the warranty. 10 days later, they are still "working on it", and the web page says that they can hold it for 15 working days, i.e. 21 days! Imagine being without your phone book and pocket calendar for 3 weeks! This is totally unacceptable. I wonder if other manufacturers are any better. The only soluiton I can imagine is the "Jaguar" method: buy two. Not very funny, is it?

Best PDA Yet
I have owned 4 Palm PDA's but have now switched to the Sony Clie PEG-S360. Best move I ever made!!! This is truly the best PDA I have ever owned. The screen is incredibly clear, 16 meg memory, jog dial, size and weight are awesome, upgradeable with the memory stick, I could go on and on. For the [price] range, this one is the best!
