FANTASTICBULOUS Sony
My first PDA, but i've been reading about them for a long time and seeing others use one. I shopped around a lot, for a portable device that is a "classic" PDA + camera, MP3 player, e-book reader, and (dream...) mobile phone! I do a daily train commute and wanted to read.
There is no single PDA out there today (Aug 2003) that does all these well AND is also a phone at a reasonable price. The strangest is the current Palm lineup! The Zire has a camera and color screen but no browser, ... The Tungsten is a phone but has no camera, etc... All the displays are pathetic.The Sony NX-70V is all of these minus the phone. It is FABULOUS! Great engineering, great usability. Great display, the OS and the processor (200 MHz) are fast enough that when you are using the camera in movie mode, the screen renders fast and is not choppy. The swivel display is fantastic. The Graffiti area pulls down to use the full screen! (Not many applications support this currently) The backlight is great. The great touch is the headphone with the clip-on basic remote control for MP3. It supports start/stop, skip, and volume. Best of all, it starts the music up without having to put the PDA on. Sony has provided a hold switch on the PDA that turns off the display and conserves power when you are not viewing it. I would suggest that they incorporate a pin (as on laptops) that is activated when the display is shut. More in a later review ...

great product- highly recommend
I thought getting a still and video camera as part of the PDA was a waste, but it is probably the feature I appreciate and use the most. You might be at a birthday party, or an office meeting, or a ball game and you might want to capture the unexpected moment. I highly recommend this product.

Great PDA, Recommendable.
Great PDA, beautiful design, light weight, excellent screen.
I can take pictures, and sent it through internet (with wireless
connection) in seconds. Plus, lot of software for almost anything.
I am a satisfied customer.

Sony is cool.
I bought this as a replacement for my Handera 330. I held off on replacing my Handera because it had several features others didn't have, that is to say, dual expansion, virtual graffiti area, and a voice recorder. However, the NX70V came along and boasted all of these features, except for dual expansion, which was quickly remedied soon after purchasing the Eruware driver. Now I can do more than I ever could with a Handera 330. The color screen is amazing, The HiRes+ allows for great detail in my pictures and and movies. I have a 128MB Memory Stick and a 256MB CF card, and both are nearly full with MP3s and the like. I no longer need a CD burner to carry my favorite tunes with me, I can just load them onto my Clie and I'm ready to go.
That being said, there are a select few problems with the device. There is, of course, the battery problem. This Handheld has the stamina of a kid with asthma on a treadmill. The casing also has the proclivity to become all scratched and junk just from being kept in a pocket, thus I had to buy a cheap aluminum case to keep it safe.
All together, the Sony Clie PEG-NX70V is the closest I have yet seen to a perfect handheld. It's the sure way to impress your geek friends.

AWSOME CLIE MUST GET
this clie is awsome, the colors are really clear, the keyboard is nice and is it just me or is it actually true the clie dosent seem that big when u get it, the battery life is no good though maybe like 4 hours at most playing music in hold or playing a game
the clamshell design thats holding up the screen seems to get a bit looser but no worries stil stable, read on forums that this is normal unless you want to take it apart and tighten it. stil relly nice clie. the music is great gives you the option of using bass, bass two, bass three. the supplied remote control is great also. keyboard is kinda hard to use though, even with my teenager sized fingers sometimes its stil hard to type there, (pressing wrong keys and all that), stil beats grafitti even though i already memorized all the grafitti charcters. hotsync operations are a breeze. THANKS AMAZON FOR THE GREAT EXPERENCE!
