Really great PDA for simple tasks September 29, 2008
I bought the Sony PEG-S360 Clie soley for the purpose of keeping my schedule on it, and it works really well for that! It will show you your hourly schedule, block it weekly so you can see where you have free time, a monthly calander, and a split screen with what time your appointments are and a task checklist. I'm in college, so the task feature is very handy for keeping assignment due dates. The backlight feature is very handy, and it's rechargeable with a pretty long battery life, so you don't have to worry about charging it very often. It takes a while to get used to writing on it, but there are easily accessable applicaions to figure out what the shorthand is. Really great, simple PDA, fairly inexpensive (esp. if you can find it used) and very reliable.
STILL a great value July 2, 2004

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.
 Best pda for under 150 April 27, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
 Seller Maliciously Falsified Product Information-ON PURPOSE January 17, 2004
3 out of 17 found this review helpful
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.
 The Sony Peg-S360 November 12, 2003

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.
