Fine PDA for someone who needs electronic dictionaries
I bought the TJ27 refurbished after Sony discontinued it. I use it exclusively for electronic dictionaries and it works very well. The camera is handy but grainy and poor quality. The battery runs down in 2-3 weeks of no use, and then it's a hassle to load back all the software. So I carry it on overseas travel and must remember to charge it even if I don't use it. Ebay has many batteries available, maybe a new one will work better.

No support services! - Avoid this Sony product!
My battery was non-servicable after a year. Battery is very difficult to get and change out. No one wants to talk about it ... I thought the COMPAQ PDA I bought was bad! I never expected this level of non-support from SONY. Get a Palm!

BUYER BEWARE!
I purchased my Sony PEG TJ27 and it worked great for the first 6 months then the battery died, then the screen light phased out. What a nightmare, Spend the extra money for a PALM, you'll be much happier.

Problems, problems, ...
First I could not sync. Returned the unit to Sony for repair (warranty). Then they forgot to ship the sync cable back with the unit. Now, after the warranty period, the camera on the Clié no longer works - a message says "the lens cover is closed" but it is not... So I can't use the camera in the unit any more. I will go back to Palm next time...

DON'T DO IT!
After a little over a year, my PEG-TJ27 is useless. I had to return it to SONY support within 2 months due to screen issues...and that alone was a nightmare trying to get it fixed. The latest is my battery died and I cannot recharge it. I plug it into the cables, and it comes on for about 10 seconds then shuts down and the recharge light is off...will not recharge...
so if you are considering purchasing this (or any SONY PDA for that matter) I suggest you run the other way...
