- Sony Refuses to Learn from Past Mistakes!
I was convinced that this device or its little brother the Nx70 would be the best thing since sliced bread for the student or businessman. Then I discovered Sony was up to its old proprietary tricks again by utilizing only their memory stick and no other method of storage such as the commonly used, less expensive, and easiily procured CF or SD cards. When will Sony realize this type of marketing only reduces the number of sales and increases buyer animosity. Due to this tactic, I opted for the Toshiba and have not been disappointed yet.

- This gadget lover's dream does so much!
Pros: Fast processor; built-in keyboard, Bluetooth, and 2-megapixel camera with flash; large, sharp display; removable battery; precise battery meter.

Cons: Bulky; camera is slow to start up and shut down; no built-in Wi-Fi.

Summary: Sony's NZ90 is significant not because it's going to be the world's greatest handheld (though it might be) but because it raises the bar. A built-in 2 megapixel camera with flash, Bluetooth, mpeg movie record and playback, MP3 playback, voice recorder--these obviously are way beyond the basic to-do list/address book/calendar. If you buy an MP3 player, a 2MP camera, a voice recorder, and a color PDA, you may very well spend [a lot of money]. Having it all in one is nice. Sony's not perfect; they need to kick the memory stick habit and support CF/SD cards, which are much cheaper and more versatile. As others point out, the onboard RAM seems a bit stingy, though PalmOS doesn't require as much as PPC. Anyway, I'm excited to see this happening and I hope a bunch of other companies copy Sony. Competition is good for everyone!

- This device is very cool
The main reason I bought the Peg-NZ90 over other Palm OS5 devices was the 802.11b feature, which works great. I have had it for around a week now, and I find myself using it more than the palmIII that it replaced. The digital video is cool, and the Sony remote is a nice feature. I just bought the magicgate 256M memory stick and will throw some MP3s on it in the next few days. I haven't used the bluetooth feature because I don't have any bluetooth devices yet. The web browser, though pretty bare bones works surprisingly well and the graphic resolution is very high quality. This is the best Palm OS device currently available. Granted it is a toy, but a productive toy.

One con: The battery flakes out a bit when using the camera, you can only get a couple shots off before it looks ike the battery is almost comletely depleted, but if you go to another application, the batter lookes fine again.

- Great Play
I finally made the plunge and bought the NZ90. After being a die-hard Palm user (starting from the Palm Professional,III,Vx,M505), I switched to the Sony Clie.

I truly enjoy playing with the NZ90. It has more functionality than the Palm M505. The camera and video features are amazing. The 2mb still camera produces decent quality pictures. One use I make with the camera is to take shots of documents from work. Now I can reveiw my work on my Clie without having to take home hard copies. The video function gives me the opportunity to film short clips on the fly of my baby boy. (I chose to defer purchase of a digital video camera and opted to use the video on the Clie.) The video quality is poor, but serves its purpose until my son begins to walk when I then plan on purchasing a digital camcorder. Also, I purchased the wireless card for the Clie. GREAT. I love this. You can check pop3 email and browse the internet without having to boot-up your laptop or computer. The easy power on/off of the pda makes it quick for me to check email as well as read the daily news.

2 negatives that needle me:
1) Batter life is poor, especially when using the still camera with flash. The flash drains the battery after 10 shots.
2) The size is a hurdle. Unlike the sleek m505 design, I have to carry the bulky NZ90.

I enjoy playing with my NZ90, emphasis on the "playing". As for practicality, I miss the m505 design as I daily use the address book, calendar, memo.

- No memory! Where is the 16 Mb announced!
I just bought the new NZ90 to replace a NR70V/U. My first surprise was during the first HotSync. A message warning that there was no memory space popped up! So what I had in my old machine was no longer handle by the new one? The answer is YES!
Looking at the specifications in the manual it is stated that "User memory range: approx. 11 MB" This is not what is in the specifications available in the add. They say 16 MB ROM and 16 MB RAM. Where is all this memory that I cannot use?
I'm feeling like a fool. I trusted in Sony, I like Sony, and I now have to open hand of some softwares that I like and was used to have on my old Clié. NOT A GOOD FEELING!
Also I sent a message to Sony support and got no answer until now. BAD FEELING.
