User Submitted Sony Clie PEG-SJ22 Handheld Reviews (cont...)Date: 2006-07-14 Some durability issues, but still a fair device At the time this device was new, it was ahead of the game, pricewise and technology wise. Then palm came out with the 505, and now the palm 5.0 software and sony got out of the market quickly after only about 3 years. I have had this handheld for a little over 2 years now, and it has done it's work. It does have a nice bright color display, decent for display of a picture in the photo gallary. It has the capability to run some programs from the memory stick, although I do not recommend getting a memory stick abouve 32mb becuase it takes forever to access programs on my 128mb card, often to were the handheld shuts off before I can open the program. Also, the charger for the battery tends to wear out after a couple years, so the handheld will look like it's charging, but not charge at all. My office had bought about 20 of these, and a few have had problem with Infrared beaming, and mine the on/off button does not work. Unfortunately, these were referbished models at the time, so who knows if the durability issue it the model or the referbished. I do know some people with the fancier models that have had better long term luck. Finally, this handheld has limited internal memory compaired to new models (16mb), this can be difficult to update some applications on (epocrates for one). If their is an online update, I often find myself having to manually erase some of the old files on the handheld to free up enough space for it to accept the updated program. But, for the time it came out, it was king. This item would be good for someone who wants a electronic calendar/datebook, also to carry a couple of pictures with them, but the business professional sould look towards the newer technology. Date: 2006-05-29 No Handwriting pad I switched over to the SJ22 after several problems with my Palm III. Palm support gave me grief on replacing it and finally it just died. Only had it 4 months. Warranty was 90 days. So I purchase this Clie. I love it. It has been dependable and and the battery life has improved with age. Hard to believe but it did. The first 6 months I had to charge often. Once I lost all data, because I didn't charge each night. I even purchased a car charger in order to use it on the go. Now It stays charged for 3 days and never gone below 50% and I rarely use the car charger. The down side? I wish it had more memory. Currently I am researching newer PDA, but still haven't found one that will do the job I feel this has. I was seriously thinking of a clie PEG-NX73V. But now discontinued this leaves me stumped. As a Palm is out of the question. Date: 2005-12-15 Very satisfied I have had one of these for two years and it has been flawless. I use it for managing my life, not for viewing films or pictures. I have no need to receive e-mail or view the web from my PDA. Date: 2005-05-15 Lost all memory! My father and I both got this PDA for Christmas last year. After around a month, his lost everything. It was sent to be fixed, but after another month, it lost its memory again! By this time, mine also was losing its files. Both PDAs were sent to be fixed only to still delete memory. The repair man said not to let their batteries run out all the way, but by this time, the life of one charge would only last a day if I was lucky and that was if it hadn't been on. I would try to turn it on the next day and the screen would be blank. Today, I never use it anymore because it simply will not turn on! Date: 2005-03-15 Excellant PDA Wish it had OS 5 so I could do MP3, but that asside, I have had my SJ22 for over a year and it's wonderful; not a missed beat!! From planning times and fuel for a flight to business, to downloading web stuff from free Avantgo.com, to playing Bridge and Chess, to keeping student records. I love this thing!!!!!!! Battery has great endurance. My girl friend bought it for $100 after rebate...she thought it wasn't very good but all she could afford....wow, what a find!!!! I had a Palm 120 and hated it!!!!
