    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Clie Ever, 24 Mar 2004
    By 
    C. Smith (Nottingham) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Sony Clie PEG-TH55 (Electronics)
    This is the one we've all been waiting for - small & light form factor, very nice screen, good battery life (!), Wi-Fi AND Bluetooth (one up on the Yanks at last!), this thing is great. I enjoyed my previous Clie, a 760C which was fine but a bit limited.
    The TH55 is quicker, can play games in FULL screen (depending on the game, some are 320 x 320, some are 320 x 480 and some are 480 x 320 which is great). I browse the internet and hotsync etc over Wi-Fi at home which is a bit of a slower experience than using a laptop, but it's so cool that i can. I can also browse the internet anywhere else (at work, as a passenger in a car, in the middle of a forest) using bluetooth and my phone. It's easy and it works, and is about as fast as a 56k dial-up.
    I absolutely LOVE to watch films on it too, using the program mmplayer i can watch my DVDs that i re-encode on the computer, put them on a memory stick, and i'm away. Very, very cool indeed.
    I almost forget that it's also an MP3 player, has the best diary-management stuff of any machine and takes photos.....and still leaves me with battery to spare at the end of the day.
    My next step is to get a GPS attachment (over bluetooth of course) for use as a Sat-Nav system for the car.
    This is not just the best Clie ever, it's the best handheld machine yet made.

    One criticism though, is i'm waiting for someone to come up with a way to use the machine in landscape mode (480 x 320) instead of the normal portrait mode for using in web-browsing etc, which would make this even better.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Known issues with the TH-55 not a problem., 12 July 2004
    By 
    Jay R (Windsor, England.) - See all my reviews
    This review is from: Sony Clie PEG-TH55 (Electronics)
    I have had mine now for a few months. To pick up on the points that online reviews have already mentioned. The stylus is small but you get used to it as you do with the rear jog wheel, flip cover and buttons along the lower edge. Don't let that put you off buying. The speed is fine. So what if it takes an extra eighth of a second to open a program. You can switch the user interface back to standard palm if you don't like either of the two additional Sony ones. There are sites where you can download the movie record app so don't worry about not having this as standard. The power button is fiddly but you can get free programs to re-map the capture button to turn it on and off when the lens shutter is closed. You don't get a remote for the MP3 player function but the it fits nicely in a shirt pocket and you can use the hard buttons on the case to control track selection, play, stop and volume. The camera is low quality but if you want this PDA I guess you already have a proper digital camera. The free copy of Doc's To Go only comes with the American version. The battery life is superb and I really mean that. Perhaps 3x more than my NX70V. The size is smaller than most. The screen is the best I have seen and part of the processor is dedicated to multimedia so music and graphics are great. I am well chuffed with it and would recommend to anyone.

    5.0 out of 5 stars If you were a Psion 5 user... think about it. Seriously., 28 May 2005
    This review is from: Sony Clie PEG-TH55 (Electronics)
    It took me months to decide on the handheld I wanted. I'd played with PocketPCs and knew that I wasn't happy with the wifi performance or a number of other things about the OS, so I was fairly sure that it was either Linux (Sharp Zaurus) or a Palm device. Looking around, I found that the battery life on the Clie TH55 was by far the best available. On top of that, it included everything I wanted: wifi, camera, and a decent software base for improvement.

    So I bought one from Amazon UK (marketplace seller) and tested it out for a few months.

    What do I think now? Well, it's been endlessly useful. Software exists to support just about anything I could want to do. Sshing into a server? No problem. FTP? Easy enough. The email client is more than sufficient, and the web browser is surprisingly effective for a system that really shouldn't be able to do half of what it does. I've found that the Japanese habit of carrying such a device around on a lanyard has a lot more sense behind it than I ever imagined, especially for those of us who really do commute, travel, or get bored in meetings!

    That said, I'll be looking at the UX-50 for the convenient keyboard, just as soon as I find one available at a second-hand price. If the TH55 suffers from anything, it's low compatibility with the various Palm expansion options such as keyboards and so forth - but it's such a complete platform in and of itself that you won't be needing most of those gadgets anyway.
