The camera takes great photos, however the lag time from shutter release to taking a picture is slow and you need a steady hand for quality picures. The still and video camera use way too much power (in relation to a stand alone camera which may be able to take up to1or2hundred pictures on a battery charge vs about 15 - 20 for this one) The screen is just about invisible in sunlight making it difficult to frame picures.

The Piscel Viewer for documents is not user friendly and you cannot edit any documents without additional software. As a PDA alone it is not bad, however many are better due to battery life and are more user friendly.

Just a bad choice. Battery life at this time is way behind the state of the art (5 hrs max just leaving it on). The power lasts about2hours playing even simple games (something like backgammon). You cannot even fill a MS on1battery charge and movies cannot be taken (or the flash used) at anything less than full power. The battery is rechargeable (and removable), however there is no external charger available. Batteries must be charged in the Clie.

The cradle connection is awkward and usually takes both hands and some jiggling to get it to seat on the cradle. The only way to tell it is seated properly is to turn it on and make sure the battery logo has a lighting bolt accross it indicating that the unit is charging and therefore is properly seated in the cradle.

I am now looking at a Pocket PC and digital camera (separate) to get better performance. Any1want a sightly used Clie NZ 90??

Jokes aside, it is well built (i used to have a Clie NR70V and it was fragile), the hinges and swivels are tight, it will not open inside your backpack and get all scratched inside.

It is also a nice PDA, with all the useful stuff that any common handheld has. (Memo, Agenda, Address, To Do, Whatever). however it excels on the add-ons. That's the best part.

The digital camera is awesome (autofocus/manual focus, flash, 2.0 MP) and it can store hundreds of pictures. There are many options and settings to play with.

It also has audio recorder software. The sound is crisp, clear, and you can record many, many, many hours of speech, enviromental audio or anything.

As any other Clie, it has its own mp3 player. there is no need to purchase the special SONY smartmedia card to use it: a Lexmark alternative will do the trick.

Of course, if you combine audio + pictures, you will get a video camera. It works as one. Not great quality, it might be compared with having a webcam with you all the time.

What else ? Integrated keyboard, speaker, remote control, a couple of headphones, infrared port.

I can even speak about Bluetooth. I do not have any bluetooth gear in my house, however I am leaving the wake-up option enabled and see if i find any BT devices in my office. Besides the blinking blue led appears cool :).

It has many improvementes since the last Clie versions. The memory stick has changed its place, so it doesn't flip out e time you put it in your pocket. The craddle is now foldable and you can take it ewhere to charge and/or connect your clie. You can even attach it to the PDA and carry it around.

Even when it is bulky, it is well built and with a nice eequilibrium... you can hold it in your hand and it will not fall easily. That happened with the NR70V: the screen was heavier than the body, so it fell backwards always.

The keyboard is a lot better and easier to use by now. Also the back howeverton has been moved a little and it's easier to use than before.

The camera doesn't rotate anymore... however i did not miss the feature, since you can still use it in the open or closed form, to take pictures of yourself or others.

I would complain only about few things:

- The pen is thin !! It appears thinner compared to the huge agenda. And it has a weird to attach to the PDA.
- The picture browsing is waaaay slow. I'll better find a better program to handle the pictures.
- I can not recall anything else, however I am sure that there were some things that bothered me. Well, let's say it's 4 and a half stars. Oh, the price !!Wait a little until it drops. however even now it's worth e cent. For a journalist is the perfect tool. And for a physician (who i am) too.
- And, it might seem crazy, however i find this size more comfortable for me than before. I do not think of it as a PDA, instead i think of it as a pocket sized notebook.

That's upsetting: you see, there are 16 Mb of RAM however you can access only 11 of them. Why ? I do not know. However the better use of the memory stick features compensates the lack of actual memory. I would have expected at least 64 Mb RAM for a beast like this. Well, let's say it's 4 and a half stars.
