Known issues with the TH-55 not a problem.

I have had mine now for a few months. To pick up on the points that online reviews have already mentioned. The stylus is small but you get used to it as you do with the rear jog wheel, flip cover and buttons along the lower edge. Don't let that put you off buying. The speed is fine. So what if it takes an extra eighth of a second to open a program. You can switch the user interface back to standard palm if you don't like either of the two additional Sony ones. There are sites where you can download the movie record app so don't worry about not having this as standard. The power button is fiddly but you can get free programs to re-map the capture button to turn it on and off when the lens shutter is closed. You don't get a remote for the MP3 player function but the it fits nicely in a shirt pocket and you can use the hard buttons on the case to control track selection, play, stop and volume. The camera is low quality but if you want this PDA I guess you already have a proper digital camera. The free copy of Doc's To Go only comes with the American version. The battery life is superb and I really mean that. Perhaps 3x more than my NX70V. The size is smaller than most. The screen is the best I have seen and part of the processor is dedicated to multimedia so music and graphics are great. I am well chuffed with it and would recommend to anyone.

Sony Clie PEG-SJ22

I have just bought this excellent PDA. For the price this unit has pretty much everything you would like to expect. The software is easy install and allows you to be syncing with your new PDA within minutes. The set-up of the PDA itself is also extremely easy, simply set your country and calibrate the screen and you are away. This model contains the basic Palm applications including date book, memo pad and to-do list. Sony has also installed it's own suite of applications as standard. Picture Gear Pocket when used with its PC accompaniment Picturegear Lite is very useful for showing pictures that are available on your PC. Kimona, a program that allows you to play videos on your PDA is very good, from the example installed as standard (dolphins) you can see that considering this device's processor is running at only 33Mhz video playback is very respectable. Coming from that point it is worth mentioning that so far programs seem to start very quickly on this device. Unfortunately no games are included as standard however you can get free Palm software from the Internet, which is easily installed using HotSync.

These are my only criticisms with this package:
Is does not include a cradle which means when HotSyncing/Charging it has to just sit on the table. Secondly it does not include Documents To Go (this allows you to open Word, Excel and PowerPoint files on your handheld) but both of these items can be purchased from Sony and Dataviz Inc, respectively.

In conclusion this is well worth the money thanks to a well rounded, high quality product (especially the screen) for a great price. I definitely recommend this piece of kit.
