4 out of 5 stars STILL a great value.......2004-07-02

The S-360 is a low-level PDA and an excellent value. I got mine in June of 2002, and it still works lik a charm. The SJ360 isn't flashy or colorful like some pocket PC (it's processor and monochrome screen are obviously below the task), but it handles functions like calendar, to-do, e-mail and phone-book, as well as allowing a big area for memos for whatever comes to mind. It's incredibly thin and light - much more so than the Visor Handspring I bought my wife the year before. It comes with 16MB of RAM, though it includes a slot for memory-sticks (which I haven't tried yet). Though using the same operating system as the Palm Pilot, Clies come with something unique, a jog-wheel - a wheel on the side that allows you to scroll through information while holding the unit with one hand. (I keep reaching for the wheel whenever using my wife's Visor.) Like similar PDAs, you can "Hotsync" to your computer - an absolute must (more on that in a sec). Using Hotsync, you can download the contents of your Clie for safekeeping. Hotsync works both ways - and you can download to your Palm information you've updated on your computer (saving you the trouble of having to do the same using the PDA's somewhat annoying interface). Installing the software on my XP computer was effortless, and with a USB cable, a typical Hotsync takes only a few seconds - so fast, you won't even miss that Hotsync cradle. I bought mine for the fun of having a new gadget, and now can't imagine leaving home without it. And again, that was back in 2002.

This brings me to my cons - frequent death by battery exhaustion and memory expansion. Once the battery dies, all the information is gone (see now why Hotsync is so important?), and your varied use of Clie means that battery life will always be unpredictable - and that's not even factoring the use of "back light" which will drain your battery with painful speed. (A helpful battery-bar gives you an idea, but it's only on the main screen). Luckily, I've been able to rely on the information saved on my computer when I hotsync. Once recharged, it functions normally. Secondly, while the memory is expandible as on other PDA's, the Clie relies on a proprietary system of memory sticks that only works on Sony machines - and are therefore harder to find and more expensive.

Otherwise, for basic PDA functions this slim and reliable PDA is an incredible value.

5 out of 5 stars Best pda for under 150.......2004-04-27

I have used other pda's from the time they came out. It always frustrated me that it was hard to easily navigate menus and the stylus wasnt very responsive. Ever since I got this model I have had no problems. The hotsync works very well and never misses any files as I have had before. One of the best features is the large memory allowing me to store my documents and contacts easily and not worrying of going over the limit. If this is your first pda then I would get it because it is reliable and simple to use.

1 out of 5 stars Seller Maliciously Falsified Product Information-ON PURPOSE.......2004-01-17

I ordered a Sony Clie Handheld from this seller and he intentionally didn't list that the item is unusable, irrepairable, and worthless. After purchasing the item the seller stated this: "the sony clie has already been sent. As mentioned, it has not been tested and the screen is fixable by sony. go to sonystyle.com for more info."

He then went on to say: "the details on the Sony clie were and has been listed by Amazon since the item was posted. I dont know how you could have missed it. I have attached the link in which all the details were mentioned. http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/exchange-glance/Y04Y3657545Y8593902
All sales are final."

Even after rechecking the seller's page there was no sign of this link. I e-mailed the seller and he still is standing by his sale, although it is evident and apparent that he falsified the information for this product.

Please don't purchase from this seller unless you want to be put in a bind. Retract your purchase immediately by calling your bank and putting a hold on this transaction, at least until your product has been delivered and it is the product you were initially sold.

3 out of 5 stars The Sony Peg-S360.......2003-11-12

This handheld is good for someone starting in the electronic word. Being the cheapest of the Sony handhelds, this Palm operated PDA keeps you organized and reminds you to do things. though while this is all it does, unless your into a handheld arcade, its still pretty practical.

3 out of 5 stars OK Starter PDA.......2003-09-10

This was my first foray into the world of hand-held computing. I was a confirmed Day-Timer user and didn't think that all my "stuff" could be condensed down into such a little thing. During my orignal research, I settled on the Sony Clie PEG-S360 for several reasons:
1. Palm OS - Superior ease of use compared to Windows CE.
2. Palm OS units - generally much lower cost than Windows units. I wasn't about to spend [the money] when a Palm OS unit would cost less than half that.

OK - So now I had narrowed it down to the Palm OS. So now which one? I looked at many different makes and models and selected the PEG-360, mainly due to:
3. I knew I wanted a black & white display because of superior battery life and cost and this unit had the best display of all that I saw.
4. Easy one-handed operation with Jog-Dial. I thought, at the time that this would be important.

That was it. Now for the results after a year and a half of heavy use:
The Positives:
1. Battery life is excellent. I recharge maybe once a week.
2. Display likewise excellent. I can easily read in a variety of lighting conditions.
3. 16 MB of Memory - plenty of room, even for some fairly sophisticated database applications that I run.
The Negatives:
1. No MP3 capability. I've discovered the wonders of free music and would now like something that incorporates this.
2. Sony's stupid flip-top cover [is not good]. It broke twice. It's now held together with scotch tape.
3. This unit has limited expandibility. I'm interested in a portable GPS for aviation work that I do (I'm a pilot). It's much easier to accessorize a Palm unit than a Sony.
4. The job-dial; it works, but I discovered it's not such a big deal one way or the other.

For these reasons I'm starting to look into something new and am leading towards the Compaq IPAQ, especially since the prices have come down. But for those who want basic functionality, an excellent display screen and lots of memory, the PEG-S360 is an excellent choice.
