Great PDA if you're looking for an upgrade
Pros: The color is amazing - love it. I upgraded to it from a N710C and it is slimmer, lighter, the MP3 player works great, the jog dial is a lot nicer and the quality is all around better.
Cons: The pictures are not as clear as in the others, somewhat smaller and hard to distinguish. The off switch is kind of flimsy for something as great as this.

Great machine and software package!
Pros: MP3 sounds great Fast Good bundle Small Looks amazing
Cons: 128mb limit on MSticks thats all

easily copy MP3's to memory stick
Pros: I have had the SJ for a few weeks and am very happy. I have been reading some reviews and have noticed people stating it is not easy to copy mp3 to the SJ. plain and simple they are stupid. they should return the SJ and buy a pencil and some paper, though
Cons: only accepts 128mb memry stick and memory sticks are expensive. I don not want to carry several memory sticks.

Lots of features
Pros: Good software. Fast. Reasonable amount of memory available for 3rd party applications.
Cons: A little bit on the heavy side. My screen showed multi-colours on the white background. Grafiti can be a little difficult. Battery life not great. MP3 player will only play files at 128 K bits per second so the amount of music you can store is limited. (W

One Word: Horrible
Pros: Nice looking unit, nice screen
Cons: I first bought an SJ-33 and after about a week the cover had scratched the unit badly where it touches it. So I complained and got a new one. Now this one cracked, I am going to call Sony tomorrow and see what they will do. Knowing Sony, not much. Do NOT

This is a bang for the buck!
Pros: I wanted something worth the money and the quality. Sony has really done a good job with thee SJ33 model. I read most of the comments on this and it helped in my decision to buy it. I bought a Lexar 64MB memory stick and it stored MP3's with easy. To
Cons: I don't like the dinky buttons in the front. The cover gets dirty with fingerprints so you will always be cleaning it! Memory could have been a little more but for that got to pay extra.
-
Just the right size for business applications.
Pros: The appearance is that of a quality product. Screen easy to read. Better than my Palm in this respect. The cover is better. I especially like the see through nature of it. I had trouble figuring out all the setup, but I must say that everyone I spoke wit
Cons: No graphity button for quick notes. Must go to note pad and write. Slow, and too small for to work fast when outside. Battery life short, but that may be a function of how much work it has to do..

The best mid-class PDA
Pros: + Excellent screen (320x320, TFT) + Excellent design + Good battery life (because of enchanced battery) + MP3 player + It has the REPLACEABLE battery! I've found an instruction how to easily replace the battery.
Cons: - No remote control for MP3 playback. - Quite heavy. Especially comparing to my Sony Clie S320.

Summary: My friend bought one of these not to long ago, and it is brilliant. I have used it for many things including MP3s, Bejewelled, and editing my word documents. It is perfect. It is a real help. My only complaint is the OS and the lack of apps. This is something that can be improved. I am actually going to buy one soon myself. Go to www.pricewatch.com and you can find it for the cheapest prices, not to mention cheap deals on accessories. Hope this helps a lot. Don't waste another day without this excellent little bugger!!!!!!!
