The best PDA I've ever used

Pros: Amazing screen, features, capabilities! Everything!
Cons: Scratches easily
The Bottom Line:
The best PDA I've ever used or seen.
I've been looking at PDA's for several months and finally bought one, the Sony Clie PEG-TG50. This PDA is everything I ever could've wanted or needed. I don't know how Sony did it but they did it very well.
The TG50 comes with an Intel XScale 200mhz processor for blazing speed. I have never had to wait for anything to load for extended times(5+ seconds). The programs run smoothly without a hiccup thanks to Palm OS 5. With the new operating system, the processors run more efficiently and can have even higher clock speeds. The nice part is when you use a software title that is for say, Palm OS 3 the new OS 5 will actually speed up the program so it all runs faster.
The TG50 also features a 320x320 screen that has amazing clarity and beauty. Everything looks sharp and crisp and is high resolution for better viewing. The TG50 also features a headphone jack when you want to keep your music to yourself. The audio sounds very good for such a small device. The one physical thing about the TG50 is how easily the case can scratch. It's not like you just touch it and it's scratched but leaving some change in your pocket with the TG50 and you'll have one scratched PDA.
The TG50 also comes with everything you could need such as an Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad. It has other programs that are more for fun, such as the Audioplayer and the Movie Player. They both run perfectly but you need to buy a memory stick to use both since the TG50 only has 16 megs of ROM built in. Other than that small problem, they run smoothly and perfectly. So far, I've done things like:
~Watch movies using Kinoma Player(http://www.kinoma.com)
~Listen to music
~View Microsoft word and Excel documents
~Put my work schedule into it
~Installed some great games such as Bejeweled.
The TG50 has done everything it could do and has done it well. The only thing that may cause a problem would be the fact that you need a memory stick to use many features and that the front cover is prone to scratches so you must be careful.
I hope this helps you out in your purchase!
