Why buy this when smartphones have these ...features? Quite easy really, I don't own a smartphone that is redundant when the next version like the iPhone 4 come out! Pay over £500 for something to make calls and the features that this has? I'm no mug! It is ideal for keeping records, notes, addresses and it can be kept in a pocket. It may be a little old but it works!
I have had this PDA for 2 months now and been u...nable to synchronise it to the PC after having followed all instructions. Should really be a straight forward job. Therefore cannot install new software. Another bad point is the Sone memory which is considerably more expensive going for rediculosly high prices (cost per MB). It is also incredibly confusing in comparison to a simple SD card which you just have the 3 sizes and you know exactly what you need. Sony has to be arrogantly differentbecause of its brand name. I would be put off in future devices that require its memory cards. As far as functionality is concerned it is above average. Sound is good and there are different ways to scroll i.e.stylus, scroll wheel menu buttons. There is plenty of software although many seem rediculously overpriced considering the type of device. Something like an ipod beats it without even blinking. Overall just average considiring the problems faced.
