Sony Clie PDA (PEG-S320) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I held out from buying a PDA for a while - I didn't want to give up the farm for one but I also wanted one that would do a little more than be an electronic datebook. I did a fair amount of research and decided on the CLIE S320. (BTW, I recommend pdabuzz.com) Now that I have had it for a month, I feel even more convinced that I bought the best PDA in the under $200 catagory.
In general, the unit offers all of the features I was looking for at this relatively basic level: address book, date book, memo pad, beam function, expense report, and helpful/fun software like zagat's restaurant guide. The CLIE functions well/as expected in all of these catagories.
Here's what sets it apart as far as the under $200 goes:
-the backlighting is terrific; they basically use indiglo. I don't know of any others at this price range that have such effective backlighting.
-memory stick function makes it VERY easy to add an incredible amount of additional memory (right now, up to 128mb)
-comes with a very sturdy cover that protects it very well; it works like a flip cover, which took a little getting used to, but the hard cover protects the screen well.
-jog dial makes it very easy to access information with one hand
-best of all, the CLIE is RECHARGEABLE. All other under-$200 require batteries. Sure, you can buy rechargeable batteries, but I love the fact that I can plug it into the wall and in about an hour have it fully charged up.
I do not have big demands for my PDA - I am using it for fairly straightforward functions. In this light, I am EXTREMELY happy with what I've gotten and the features on the CLIE surpassed any other under-$200 model I could find. Especially for someone looking for their first PDA, this one comes HIGHLY recommended.
