Functional and rugged
I've owned my SJ-22 for 13 months. It's much more rugged than the Palm III series PDA's that I had previously owned. Of course, it has the superb screen, excellent battery life, and solid ergonomics for which Sony is famous. Small buttons didn't bother me.I think this is (was) the sweet spot on price vs performance. I don't want a camera, MP3 player, or telephone. I want a functional and rugged PDA with great resolution and contrast in the screen.

solid, but not 100% perfect
I have also lost data by allowing the unit to fully discharge (on vacation, away from an outlet). While the info is backed-up on my computer, not too helpful when you're hundreds of miles away! The graphics are excellent. Also, the interface is super easy to use. I was a Palm user before this and have been equally satisfied. The advantage to me was the memory stick expansion slot. Sony makes a solid product, it's just not 100% perfect.

Not worth to buy. It is a piece of trash.
When the handset is fully discharged, all the data will be lost. Twice I lost all my appointments and meetings information and other important notes. I dumpped it to my trash can.

Best for the price
Great product.
The screen resolution is the best of all same priced palms.
I've been wearing it for over a year and I din't run out of power yet. Most color devices last for just a day or two. I use it to keep and get contacts, appointments, my children's photos (showing them everyone proudly with photo quality resolution ;-). I also use it playing puzzles and action games waiting and spending time in cabs, buses, and everywhere I need to keep entertained. That way I get my Clie powered without charge for 4 or 5 days.
I've been out for hollidays and forgot the charger. Using it a very few times to get some phones, it remained operable for 19 days! and arrived back home without loosing anything.
With 33 Mhz, the processor could be faster (when I run an integral calculation in a scientific calculator downloaded for free, it gets 6 seconds to get the result), but no other device would offer more power for the price.
The weakness? Infrared port is weak. While a Tungsten can deliver Ir signal from many feet distance, the Clie SJ22 needs to be closer than 2 feet (forget using it as a TV remote ;-)
Other cons: No service in Argentina for Sony Clie, and this version of Palm OS does not include Argentina as a country option at the setup!!!!!! (Don't know later versions).
Anyway, chosen Brasil as my country :-( I din't need yet any service for my Clie thanks God (and Sony of course) Conclusion: You have a lot of money? Go and buy any plane-like device (of course there are better devices in the market).
You have JUST this money? Don't think about it. Go and buy one Sony Clie SJ22.

Pretty, user-friendly, inexpensive
I bought this for my mom, who usually hates having to learn to use new gadgets. She loves loves loves this PDA - she figured out how to use the essential functions almost immediately and uses the PDA daily. The color screen is lovely, the unit is just the right size to carry in a pocket or purse, and sync-ing to a PC is easy. It's not just about digitizing/combining your day planner and address book - PDAs are great for keeping lists, jotting down notes, and even sketching pictures. This is a great starter PDA for anyone who doesn't need WiFi/Bluetooth.
