Sony SJ20 Review

The Sony Clie SJ20 is on the low-end of Sony's PDAs. It's more of a straight PDA without the flash of many of the Sony models. But, as most Sony PDAs seem to be, the SJ20 is a pretty solid product.

The SJ20 has 16 MB of memory, which is good for a model without the multimedia features. The screen has good resolution, but it's monochrome. The monochrome screen is perhaps the biggest fault of the SJ20.

The Sony SJ20 has gotten some good reviews and some not so good. Of 172 votes on one web site, 87% recommended the SJ20.

Professional Ratings: 6.9 out of 10 (2 reviews)

User Ratings: 9.2 out of 10 (58 reviews)

The primary complaint about the Sony SJ20 is that the screen is difficult to read. Additionally, a few users reported that their screen broke easily. But obviously, these complaints are in the minority.
