What Others Say
After 5 years and I STILL love it!
There's other detailed reviews, so I won't review the capabilities, but I'll just say that I absolutely LOVE my Sony Clie PEG-TH55. I've had it for about 5 years now (bought it brand new as soon as it was released from Sony in Japan) and I still haven't outgrown it. I've done everything with it. Music, movies, photos, freenotes (I wait tables, so instead of paper, i use the freenotes application), memos, address book with photos for my entries, date book, alarm, and added software and games. I love it. I love it. I love it. I will literally use this until it falls apart. I'm just a little disappointed that Sony let go of their line of PDAs and don't service them anymore.
Best PDA I've ever had
This PDA tops any I've ever had. Extremely long battery life, very attractive, intuitive back keys, etc. Theres also a software .prc file you could add in to turn it into a camcorder. The screen is amazing, its crisp and huge, reminds me of my PSP's screen.
Only con I can think of is it lacks a keyboard. If it had an i-phone like keyboard it would be untouchable.
** for the person whos having the slow wifi problem:
switch the wifi power save switch OFF in the prefs menu for wireless connections. It goes about 5 times as fast but sucks more power.
Still on top
It's been a while since these machines have been off the market and still there is nothing that can do it all with ease and consume so little battery power. I own a lot of PDA's and have played with a lot of others, but believe me no one tops sony. They are the Porsche of PDA's. Buy this one, the TH55 and you probably would not ever replace it. I can play MP3's and surf the web for hours at the same time and still have loads of battery life for the rest of the week. I've done several test and have gotten (with the screen off) 17 hours of MP3 playback using the sony player. And I get 5.5 hours of video playback with full back light and 7 hours with the screen at half brightness. A quick note to mention is that if anyone ever needs a new battery ... Read More
Great PDA!!
This is the best PDA i have ever owned! It is versatile, with its unique jog dial, I can select and scroll thru documents with ease, it has a long battery life - between 7 to 12 days for me, if I do not surf the net. The screen is good sized with great colors and resolution.
I am sorry that Sony does not make any more PDAS..
Good product, problems over time
I have had the PEG-TH55 for almost two years now. I have to say that it is a great product, but over time I have had some very frustrating problems.
First of all, the PROS:
- Clie Date Book is far superior to the Palms that I have owned in the past. I don't know if the latest versions compare or not.
- The organizer menu is great. I love the tabs instead of the icon driven menu. The address book allows you to add pictures of the person with the information. To Do list is also very functional, but does not integrate well with MS Outlook (I lose data).
- The Free notes are the best feature. You can freehand notes in any color. My wife uses it to draw pictures.
