This PDA rocks!
I am a proud owner of the Clie NX70 for 2 years and loves it. THe only fault I found is the 16mb ram which is insufficient for me as I used Avantgo alot. So 2 weeks ago I decided to dig deeper into my pocket to get the upgrade. I love this NX80 better then the NX70. The screen is much brighter,32 mb ram, lighted key board(useful in the dark if you used the keyboard to key in),the higher res. photo looks better and the built in flash make taking indoor close up shots look so good. The lens even has a built switch for the built-in lens filter to enhance the color saturation too. Lastly the retractable back for the wireless card or compactflash card is a very well thought through design to reduce bulk. I think the sound system is better but it's still very soft when using the built in speaker. The price has drop recently so making it a even better buy. I for one is very pleased with this upgrade.

Scratchy Screen
I agree with all the good reviews of this product but I have to give a word of warning. I've owned many different PDAs since my first Palm Pilot IIIe to my last Clie PEG-SJ20 (before this PEG-NX80).
I loved this PDA from the start (for all the reasons that others have written about here). Learning the Graffiti2 was annoying but I got used to it pretty quick. I see no real improvement and if I could've installed Graffiti1 on it I would have.

I'm a heavy Graffiti user (I never use the keyboard, and I can wrtite faster on my PDA than I can using pen and paper.

Here's my Major Gripe: With only ONE Week's use,(with the Clie's own Stylus, the Graffiti area of the screen got scratched very badly. Bad enough that I could feel the stylus bump and skip over the scratches! The Graffiti could no longer recognize my input!

I searched the web and found several posts from people with this same problem.
I called Sony and they blew me off. They said that it was a "hardware issue" and there was nothing they would do about it. The basically didn't care and told me I should've used a Screen Protector! I had used my Clie PEG-SJ20 for about 2 years without any screen protectors or anything and it NEVER got one tiny scratch.

I had to go out and buy a Screen Protector (which I HATE to use). With the new Screen Protector it now recognises my input, but I can STILL feel the bumps across the scratches and it reads wrong every now and again. It's not smooth like before eother.

BTW, I made 100% sure that the tip of the Stylus didn't have any points, spikes or imperfections it.

So if you buy one of these, put the Screen Protector on it BEFORE you get your stylus anywhere near the thing!

Oh, and Sony's Help Desk... Sucks.

Sony Is A Good Brand
I Heard Of This PDA In Circuit City. Everytime I Go There, I Practice Graffiti On The PDAs All The Time. When I Went There With My Mom, I Took A Picture Of Her With The Built-In Digital Camera That's Included On The PDA. I Heard About The Highest Resolution It Goes: 1,280 x 960 Pixels. When I Bring It With Me Everyday To School, I Can Take Pictures Of My Friends That Are Girls. I Also Heard This Has A Built-In MP3 Player. Then I Be Able To Listen To Music On This Thing. Then I Have Both iPod And Sony NX80V To Listen To Music To. But I Have To Store My Music On A Memory Stick. But The Memory Sticks Are Kind Of Expensive. But, I Still Can Afford The Memory Sticks In The Store. I Don't Know You Can Carry Around Your Neck If It's 8.0 Ounces.
