Sony Clie PEG-S320 Electronic wonder

by opinionated3 opinionated3 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Computer Hardware, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jan 21 '02
Pros: Low cost, very portable
Cons: none that I can think of
For the longest time I have always resisted the temptation to run out and buy one of the new fangled organizers. I was happy to use my leather bound organizer that was given to me as a gift several years ago after I started my job. I needed something to...

The most bang for the buck

by NetDanzr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 16 '02
Pros: Low price, Jog Dial, memory stick expansion slot.
Cons: Getting a little old.
If you ever looked for a PDA but never had one before, you have two choices: the cheaper choice is to buy something really expensive, be mad at yourself for such a money waste and swear that you never buy another PDA. Or you can go with one of the...

Excellent value for the money!… but now obsolete.

by jerosen , Aug 08 '02
Pros: Rechargeable Battery, nice design, Sony style and quality
Cons: Not color, discontinued
[Note- I previously said the unit does not have backlight. I was wrong as I recently discovered the feature is accessed by holding the power button for 2 seconds.]

I love it. This is my first PDA and Sony has won a loyal customer.

Palm loses at its own game.

by mookiekong Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 21 '01
Pros: Fast CPU, Low Price, Memory Stick Slot, PalmOS 4.0
Cons: Intellisync Lite, No Cradle, Can't Charge and HotSync at same time
I've tried my share of PDAs. I've bounced around between PalmOS units and PocketPC units. Currently I'm back in the PalmOS boat -- for the reason being that although I think my Casseopeia E-125 is a powerful machine and has a great screen, it is just...

A Clie for Mie

by kajguy , Dec 21 '01
Pros: Gorgeous design/appearance, high quality build, innovative features, low price
Cons: Oddly named. Does it rhyme with "me"?
I've always been a great fan of Sony, a very innovative company that always pushes the hi-tech envelope. As a Palm OS devotee, I was particularly elated when they elected to enter the PDA market two years ago and introduced their first Clie Palm-based...

Import PalmOS PDA (the perfect marriage)

by DrMobots , Aug 13 '01
Pros: Relatively inexpensive, included li-ion battery, thumb-wheel, bundled-pix viewer, good looking
Cons: no serial-cable included, expensive cradles not included
I used to have an original Palm Pilot, but stopped using it because it was somewhat bulky and I needed to change batteries every two weeks or so. I had been waiting for a slimmer PDA with built-in rechargeable batteries. Sure, the expensive Palms and...

Great Palm PDA at a LOW price

by PaulQ602 , Nov 17 '01
Pros: Fast, Palm OS 4.0, great design, great price
Cons: No cradle, no cover for the memory stick slot
Basically, this Clie has a fast processor, great screen, and the latest Palm OS. Covers more than just the basics in a greyscale PDA. But, you can read about all the technical details elsewhere.

If you're shopping for a Palm PDA, the...

Best PDA for $300 CAN or less category

by rootbeer22 , Jan 11 '04
Pros: Memory Expansion, Palm OS 4.0, Jog Dialer
Cons: Flimsy leather covering and no cradle included.
I had been researching PDA's in the price range of $300 or less (Canadian). This is by far the best bang for your buck and probably the smartest purchase you'll ever make. If you want a PDA that can do all the fancy things such as remote...

Sony's name + Palm's brain = Good choice

by bigjon , Aug 10 '01
Pros: Palm OS 4.0, Memory Stick Slot, SONY name, jog dial, extra software
Cons: Not much in the way of accessories yet . . .
I used to have a Palm m100. I liked the Palm OS out of all of the other operating systems. Sure, Win CE is much more powerful . . . but does a college student really need all of that extra (expensive) stuff. The Palm OS is one of the easiest to use....

My first PDA - the Clie peg-s320 was a good choice

by Gov9 , Feb 08 '02
Pros: Low cost & internal battery
Cons: Screen is a little shady
The device has been used for about a month and a half.

I finally broke down to the PDA temptation. I was worried that I would rarely carry it with me away from home, but it turns out it is now just like bringing my wallet or keys.

Best purchase I've ever made

by jedhiggins , Oct 23 '01
Pros: Li-Ion rechargable battery, jog wheel, price, Palm OS 4.0
Cons: Flimsy cover, cant use charger and usb cable at same time, cradle not included
How have I lived this long without a Palm Pilot (or a clone running the Palm OS)? It boggles the mind. My paper Day-Timer has been with me for years, but I have never really felt like I was making good use of it. The Palm OS is fantastic. It is simple,...

Inexpensive, does what it's meant to do

Pros: fast, small, nice screen, and inexpensive
Cons: not color, can't use springboard modules, no vibrating alarm
I used to have a Palm III, but a few months ago, I dropped it, the screen cracked, and I didn't feel like spending the money to replace the screen. I read around on the internet and found the S320 had what I was looking for. I basically use a PDA for...

Sony Clie

by csilv , Dec 20 '01
Pros: Inexpensive and very functional
Cons: Display can be difficult to read in bright sunlight.
I purchased my first PDA about two weeks ago. I went into one of those electronics superstores looking for something that I could store business phone numbers and addresses and the like. I zeroed in on the Sony Clie PEG-S320.

Palm, Handspring, Handera and then there's Sony

by cookie_cool25 , Dec 30 '01
Pros: Speedy, expansion, affordable, high quality screen
Cons: Memory Stick can only use memory cards right now
The Sony PEG-S320 it an update to the not so popular PEG-300 of last year. Using the proven Palm OS, the Clie features a revolutionary design, a 320 by 320 pixel screen (compared to 160 by 160 of standard palms), offering quadruple resolution (it seems...

Too many synching problems with Outlook 2000

by mikeh2 , Mar 12 '02
Pros: Hardware is fine
Cons: Synching with Outlook 2000 under Windows 2000 was a big problem
The hardware is fine and the Palm OS v4 is a standard. However, this Clie comes with Intellisync Lite v4.0 software that has been a big problem for me. At first, I synched this PDA with the PALM desktop PIM software under Windows 98 and it went fine. All...

Cons: Black & White Screen
I have owned a Palm IIIe, 2 Handspring Visors, and now I own the Sony Clie S320. I use to sell PDA's at Best Buy as a PDA Specialist, and this is one of my favorite devices running the Palm OS Platform. Some of my favorite functions on it are the Jog...

a few thoughts

by spaceyliz , Sep 30 '02
Pros: there is a backlight (contrary to one review!)
Cons: Mine is having weird freezing issues recently
Just wanted to say there is a backlight on the PEG-S320 though it took me awhile to find it.
Either press the power button (while Clie already on) until the light comes on then release. Or drag your stylus vertically up over the whole screen. repeat...

A Good Budget PDA

by triplaxis , Sep 03 '02
Pros: Stylish, Simple Menu, Stable OS, Ease of use

The Sony CLIE S320 is a decent and simple PDA. The purpose of the PDA is straightforward in that its use is mostly for scheduling and such. Although Sony coins it as an entertainment device, the low quality photo viewer and video playback is hardly...

Pros: Affordable, Slim, Durable, and at last someone finally corrected the backlit display.
Cons: None

Pros: Thin, fast, expandable memory/slot, looks great!

CLIE PEG-S320.... there's no other way

by ammack19 , Jan 15 '02
Pros: Small, easy to carry, large storage file, fast
Cons: Fragile
Comparable PDAs from Palm and Handspring don't include flash memory, so permanent OS upgrades and fixes aren't possible. We prefer Sony's approach, which makes updates immune to deletion. For the gadget buff, Sony currently has a camera available for the...

Great things DO come in small packages

by SSjBenjamin , Nov 10 '01
Pros: Very compact, Virtually infinite memory, internal rechargeable battery, and compatible with all Palm os PDAs
Cons: If you are a color person you might be a bit bummed out.
This PDA is one of the best and I was very lucky I went to buy one when I did. I had been looking at the Palm M series when a shopper next to me told me about the Sony Clie. The Clie comes with 8mb of Ram and 4mb of flash memory, for some of you people...

Great PDA, but where are the accessories???

by munchkin , Oct 02 '01
Pros: Rechargable Li-ion battery, clear screen, asthetically pleasing
Cons: Accessories are expensive and hard to find. Memory stick is not included.
My Handspring Visor Platinum recently broke after about three months of ownership. I already had the screen protectors, a couple of stylus, the serial cradle, case, etc. So when I went to get a new PDA, I thought I'd get another Visor....

It was the best util they came up with color screen
by ellenya ,Mar 21 '04
Pros: Excellent battery life, built in power adapter, sleek design, durable, convenient buttons.
Cons: Not color screeen,can freeze at times
I bought Clie two years ago and cannot live without it now. It is almost perfect. Most importnant is that you have to back up information on PC or memory card every time you make changes. A couple of times the device froze and I had to reset - loosing all the data. If you have saved the data it is not a problem. As I only use it for Contacts I sometimes go for weeks without the need to recharge. The screen is ok but it cannot compete with color screen. I am ready to wait a year util the prices for better Sony model with color screen come down. Also a major PLUS, especially if you are traveling, is the built in power switch. If you are traveling to Europe you do not need to buy a power adapter and can plug it into the wall by simply changing the plug. I love SONY!

Sony CLIE PEG-S320 Handheld.
by sukumaran ,Jun 23 '06
Pros: Nothing more to mention except a small customer service from Sony
Cons: Nothing more to mention
I have been using above product since last 5 years storing my entire data and I consider the same as my brain. However, the stylus had fallen down once and it was broken. I have been trying to get one spare stylus but so far I have not succeeded in getting the same. Due to the damage to the stylus my using of the clie has reduced and I am just waiting ti get some help from sony.

by rudolf_dt3000 ,Apr 16 '02
After having used a Palm m100 for over 12 months, I looked for a unit with more memory than 2MB (it has 8MB, like most do). The S320 was the best Value/$ I could find. It looks good and performs well (synchronization = fast). For imaging, a higher resolution model would be required, however.
