  • CLIE PEG-SJ33 : More compelling design but still pricey for the regular consumer

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 16, 2003
    Pros: 16MB, excellent screen, MP3 player, hard cover, faster processor, small shape
    Cons: expensive, buttons are small again

    Summary: Well, unfortunately, handhelds break when you drop them too many times. It's time to update... well, there isn't much of a choice now. Seeing as I had a T615 with a 128MB Memory Stick that has all my information backed up on it... I went for another ... read more

  • Cannot Hotsync

    Oct 12, 2004
    Pros: Nice display, good mp3 player
    Cons: Cannot connect to Win XP

    Summary: I owned an original Palm III for so long that it died of old age and so I was ready for a color PDA. I liked the layout of the SJ33 since it was the same as the original Palm design with some added features. The screen is really nice and the attached ... read more

  • Great Palm Pilot, great screen!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 16, 2004
    Pros: Hard flip cover, durable, GREAT screen, tons of features.
    Cons: Lacks in upgradeability. Cannot adapt to Wifi.

    Summary: I bought this palm pilot about a year ago when it was around $300.00. I don't regret paying that much for it. It is an excellent PDA even today. One of the best features is its shaded, built-in hard cover flap. This is not seen in many PDAs on the ... read more

  • Sleek, fun, high tech gadgetry at its finest

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 28, 2004
    Pros: ergonomically good, sleek, handy, powerful
    Cons: scratches easily, audio functionality hit-and-miss

    Summary: I don't think I have ever bought anything over $100 without checking to see what Epinioners had to say about it first. I researched the crap out of PDAs before I bought one, and finally settled on the Sony Clié SJ33, partially due to the recommendations ... read more

  • Whoa niceness in a handheld form

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 17, 2004
    Pros: Color, cheap, mp3, memory stick
    Cons: IR can be stronger, memory sticks are expensive

    Summary: I just happened to be at best buy with a load of gift cards from the holidays and they had one open box for 100 bucks. It was a colored Sony Clie and my previous palm was a Clie with a black and white screen and I was very pleased so I had no hesitation ... read more

  • Great PDA!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 17, 2003
    Pros: Decent battery life, mp3 player, great screen, and cool design.
    Cons: Clumsy cover, weird power button, and a little expensive for what it is.

    Summary: This is a great PDA (or PEO, Personal Entertainment Organizer, according to Sony). It does have everything to entertain you including and Mp3 player, video player, plenty of games, and other excellent software. Sony has the best screens of all ... read more

  • The best SL/SJ model yet

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 28, 2003
    Pros: Innovative design, MP3 player, 16 mb, Jog Dial, software suite
    Cons: Memory Stick expansion, slight blue tint on the screen

    Summary: The Clie SJ33 is the latest, and possibly the last with the introduction of the TJ series, in Sony's budget-conscious SL/SJ series. It also happens to be my personal favorite Palm, until I got the Tungsten E to play around with. Still, this Palm is a ... read more

    Pros: Excellent Battery life, Quick Processor, MP3 Player, low cost
    Cons: poor ergonomics for me, slow hotsync for mp3's, cheap plastic shell

    Summary: I have a Palm V that I've been using for quite some time now, and was very happy with it in every sense of the word. The reason I upgraded to a SJ33 is because of a program that I wanted to run called EMuscles (which is a great program) so i could study ... read more

    Pros: Extremely useful and fun gadget!
    Cons: Pricey!

  • Perhaps the ideal upgrade for an old, monochrome Palm PDA?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 28, 2003
    Pros: Fast, gorgeous screen, small form factor, priced well, Memory Stick, good MP3 and photo software
    Cons: Painted plastic bezel, lightweight stylus, full Macintosh usage requires extra-cost software, some iffy ergonomics

    Summary: Let me say from the outset that I really do love my new SJ-33, probably even more than my "pros" and "cons" might suggest. It's not perfect (what is?) but it is a terrific PDA. I had an old Palm Vx with "mad digitizer disease" -- I had to ... read more
