Sony SJ22 Review

The Sony Clie SJ22 is one of Sony's more affordable PDAs. It's more of a PDA and less of an entertainment system than some of the more expensive models.

The SJ33 has a nice 320 X 320 color screen. And the jog dial makes it easy to navigate. The SJ33 is a fine model, but it lacks some of the software that you'll find in the more expensive models.

The Sony SJ22 has gotten great ratings from professionals and everyday users. Of 50 votes on one web site, 84% recommended the SJ22.

Professional Ratings: 6.6 out of 10 (1 review)

User Ratings: 8.2 out of 10 (23 reviews)

The moderate professional rating cited above seems to be due to two factors. The SJ22 does not come with a cradle and the software bundle is a little light. Some users, as well, have been disappointed that the SJ22 doesn't include the Documents To Go software. It also doesn't sync well with Outlook.
