While this unit doesn't have color display, the screen is very easy to see, even in day light compared to some monochrome displays. I did learn that the newer memory sticks do not work in this unit. So I needed to purchase an older memory stick that works fine. I bought this Sony Clie PEG-SJ20 Handheld used for Geocaching. This is my first PDA and I am very pleased with it. This one fit the bill. Not wanting to put a lot of money into a brand new PDA because of the dangers of losing or damaging the unit while Geocaching, I looked for a used one. Loading the Geocaching software (CacheMate) was a snap.
It arrived just in time. Love this Sony Clie. Glad I picked this item.
Thanks, Pg I am sorry to say that I had to send the product back as I could never get the software to load properly. I was not able to sync the PDA.I will definately give the vendor lots of "cudos" as he spent lots of time thru e-mails and really worked with me to try to get it working.He was really great to work with and when I did have to return it, he took care of the return promptly.Too bad the product didn't work for me.
Right now I'm looking for an upgrade, which shall be a TJ27 (the one that comes with built-in camera), and my beloved SJ20 will remain close to me in my fianceé's hands. Sony's decision of quittin' the PDA business was annoying, I have to say, but my loyalty to Clié remains intact, so whenever somebody asks me for a recommendation on PDAs I always suggest Sony Clié. I bought mine refurb and after 2-yrs I'm still in love with my SJ20. Although it sometimes fails and auto resets, of all of my gadgets it's by far my best companion at the point I depend on it.
They checked and an aftermarket replacement cost $49+ plus $5 S&H so I'm still in search mode on that. I was just looking into getting a new battery for it so he could use it again and went to a battery store. I picked this unit up for my son 2 years ago, he enjoyed it a great deal, until the battery would no longer hold a charge. That happened about a year after he got it.
