This thing is $700 bucks, and no phone? Come on. You could buy a Nokia 6800 for $150 bucks and do the same stuff, without the mp3 player. Or buy the Sidekick for $200.

Thank you sony. You’ve thought not just in movility, but in practicity when you did this handheld. Including access to the internet was vital, maybe some more internal memory is needed. Sort of 512 megabits.

I was all set to buy this until I saw one for real. It’s so small it’s clumsy. The built-in keyboard is useless; it was made for a child’s fingers. The screen is so small, I don’t know how us baby boomers can even read it. Sure it’s got alot of goodies on it, but you can get most of those things as add-ons with many other PDAs. I’m really diappointed. I thought it would be something that I could use on the road without taking my bulky laptop. Not for $700, not for $649 at COMPUSA, not for $523 on Ebay. Sony, please go back to the drawing board.

Ok I bought this Clie ux 50 thinking it was going to be fairly simple in setting it up with my wireless lan at home. Well I was wrong!! On my first day in trying to set up my clie with my Dell wireless router I encounter some problems. It wasn’t working. I called Sony customer service and they tried to help me out but no one could figure out why it wasn’t working. Talking to Sony for the fourth day, a sony tech. told me that it might be that my router might not have a new firm ware upgrade and that I need to call Dell to find out how I can go ahead and get a new firm ware update. As most people know calling Dell is not so simple. It took me 5 hours to get to talk to some one in Dell and it took me another hour for them to help me set up the firm ware upgrade. Once everything was done I tried to get my clie ux50 to link with my wireless router and AGAIN IT DID NOT WORK. Once again had to take my time to call sony and let them know that the firm ware upgrade did not work. (Bare in mind this was my sixth day talking to Sony about this problem) After talking to Sony they decided to take me to the next “higher” lever of Sony Tech. but they were not open on the weekends. So I had to wait until Monday for someone from their dept. to call me. At 3 o’clock in the afternoon , now the 7th day with this problem, I received a call from Sony’s tech. I spent one minute with him, all he told me was that my Dell wireless router 1184 was not compatible with Sony Clie. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
sO PLEASE BE WARE ALL BUYERS AND ESPECIALLY DELL BUYERS

If you want to use the graffiti and are left handed, your hand gets in the way and are unable to see the screen.
With that price it should have “documents to go” all ready installed.
