Sony CLIE® PEG-N610C Handheld

Pros: Hi-Res color screen, memory stick, jog dial, sleek, stable PalmOS 4.0, very compatible with Palm
Cons: flimsy cover, limited accessories, expensive, poor stylus retention, poor support, slow WinXP update

So here I am, loving my PalmV despite all the limitations (2MByte Ram, grey scale etc.) but mainly for it's size and handsome design. Then one fine day, a water compatibility test shortened it's lifetime considerably. Argh! A replacement of the battery...

Pros: form factor, 8MB memory, Memory Stick expansion, 320x320 res, 65,000 colors screen!
Cons: expensive, no memory stick included, lack of accessories at this time

Recently, my girlfriend received a present from her father. A brand new silver toned CLIE-N610C handheld. After months of seeing me with my Palm m505, she had wanted something better than her old Palm Vx handheld... now she has a new state of the art...

Pros: Hi-Res Screen, Sleek Design, Jog Dial/Back Button, OS 4, MS Slot
Cons: Slightly thick, back casing scratches easily, poor designed buttons

Sony has redefined what handheld computing is. The new Clie, released from Sony, is an absolutely outstanding device. The usual specs are comparable to other recent Palms, you know, the 8 MB RAM/4 MB ROM, 33 MHz processor, standard Palm apps, Hotsync...

Pros: The best PDA screen on any platform, looks good.
Cons: A little pricey, limited expandability, multimedia capability overhyped.

I spent months deciding which PDA to get. I wanted to see the second-gen Pocket PCs before I did anything.

Ultimately it came down to reliability, bells & whistles, and cost. I'm the first to admit I love gadgets. So I was mightily tempted by...

Pros: Colour screen, hi res
Cons: Size, low memory

: Introduction : The Sony Clie PEG-N610C was in fact the first "palm-sized" PDA that I purchased. I had previously not needed anything beyond the capabilities of my Rex 5000 (PIM), but now working a a junior doctor, having the ability to ...

Pros: Amazing Trans-reflective 320x320 screen, memory stick expansion, jog dial, protective cover, PRICE!
Cons: Only 7 MB of available RAM (of little importance with a memory stick card)

Let me start off by stating that I already own a Palm IIIc and a Palm Portable Keyboard, and I have extensively used a Palm Vx. I payed $330 for the Palm IIIc 1.5 years ago and it is still $300 on palm's site. I purchased the Clie a few days ago...

Pros: Great color screen, nice accessories, good application launching speed
Cons: Limited case options, included flip cover is near useless, awkward memory stick implementation, no sound

After deciding to give up on my Palm V -- 2 Mb of memory is not enough anymore -- I surveyed the handheld landscape for a replacement. I looked at Pocket PCs, but my earlier experiences owning them were less than superior. I looked at the color Palm 500...

Pros: Wonderful Display,long lithium ion (rechargeable)battery life,Fast USB sync,sony memory stick capable
Cons: High Price(All color PDA's),Very few free applications included,No modem,No MP3 player, NOT a PC

You've heard it already. "It's the Display, stupid."
And this Clie delivers on it's display. I won't say too much here as others have said so much on this subject, and it's hard not to. The best thing I can tell you is to go look for...

Pros: A marvelous hi-res color screen. Jog dial and back button make it easy to use.
Cons: No Windows XP compatibility. Also, animation (eg, games) is slow. Useless cover.

When I first ordered myself a Sony Clie PEG-N610C, I thought I couldn't go wrong - here was a color Palm-compatible device, in a great, sleek package, with the ultimate (in the Palm line) in hi-res color screens. It seemed like the perfect thing to...

Pros: Amazing high-res high color screen. Quite fast. Good battery life. Jog dial.
Cons: No accessories. Proprietary memory card slot. Expensive.

I have owned a Palm Vx and with the Folding Portable Keyboard and modem for over 2 years now. After using the Clie for 2 months now, I feel that this is one of the best PalmOS handhelds for your money. I will not compare it to Pocket PC because I have...

Pros: cute, slick, lightweight, lot of features, adaptable, easy to expand, MS, extra software available
Cons: minor software upgrades needed for Windows XP or Mac, data input

I will admit to being very much an organizational freak! My preferance is for a visual system mainly pen and paper because that's what I'm used to and that is what works for me. I need the visual! What I wanted: Seriously, I had absolutely ...

Pros: touch screen display, price
Cons: lacks a memory stick

Sony Clie Peg N610C has a great design. However, it lacks some of the add on supports that Palm handhelds offer and that Handspring devices offer.

Peg N610c cannot play audio files. However, it does have a 65,000 color display and Palm...

Pros: Fantastic Screen, Full 16bit color, Jog Dial, Sony Style, Secret Mac support!
Cons: Close price to NC710, Included flip cover seems flimsy

I have tested or owned many PalmOS pdas, including ones from Palm, Handspring, and Sony. The latest and greatest from Sony tops them all.
The Sony N610C Does it right, from the sleek design to the screen, the Sony does what Palm failed to do. ...

Pros: Hi-res color screen. Good form factor. Simple to use. Good battery life.
Cons: Accessories are just coming out.

Been using the 610c since the first month it was available. I paid retail price for it. I had owned a Palm m505 for a week, then returned it when I saw the screen on the 610c.

I won't debate the relative merits of the palm os vs the pocket...

Pros: Nice screen, jog dial
Cons: Poor sync software, thicker than Palm M505, flimsy cover

I owned a palm m505 and lost it. I decided to try something different and replace it with this Sony Clie N610. I'll give you a definitive review and not the ra ra sony bs you see written everywhere else. Basically the Clie does have a superior screen....
