 Nice unit but a few major drawbacks October 3, 2008
primadogga (Topeka, KS United States)
I have had my unit for a few years, and I like it in many ways, but it has a bad habit of letting me down:
- With the flip top, in my purse, the application/power switches can be depressed and it apparently powers on. This runs down the batteries, and
- All memory is lost.
I've taken to using the Palm calendar and directory in my laptop and not the PDA... pity...
 Good Older PDA January 14, 2008
Steven M. Cooling (Chicago)
I have had this PDA for over 4 years now, and I have very little complaints. It is an older PDA, but I mostly use it for contacts, minor notekeeping, calender and date keeping and calculator. Nothing special, but it makes my life easier and it works great for what I need it for. I have lost all my info on more than one occasion because of not charging it. But it comes with great Sync software and everything gets put right back on it with one click of a button, so no big deal. So as long as you have a brain and have a computer to back your info up onto, this will work great for you. And the price is right!

Brenda Mayers (Philadelphia, PA)
I'm sorry I bought this product - it does not have the capability to retain your info when the battery runs low - I actually have had to reput my info in every time my battery ran low and I didn't catch it in time - my charger cords does not stay attached to the device properly - it's just a mess - I still have to repurchase another organizer.
 Sony Clie PEG-SJ22 May 26, 2007
Linda Hoover (Mount Laurel, NJ United States)
This works very well for basic organizational needs: address book, calendar, etc. Go with a pocket PC if you are interested in word / data files. This does have it, but it uses too much memory. I ended up deleting those features so that I would have the memory for other functions. This does work well with e-books. I loaded several from the Franklin website onto the memory stick that fits into the handheld. In that way I can have an English-Spanish Spanish-English dictionary at my fingertips. I also have a Dictionary, Thesaurus, and World History on the memory stick. I have many other books on another memory stick. The color screen displays pictures via PG Pocket well. It does not have it's own camera.
This is a very simple handheld. I purchased mine years ago from Circuit City. After that, I found that the Sony Clie is no longer available in this country through conventional stores (although, is available online, obviously). The SonyStyle.com website offers other, more up to date versions.
It seems the technology at this point is moving towards PDAs combined with phones or Pocket PCs / GPS combined with bluetooth, cameras, and as many other items as you can fit on it.
Excellent PDA for your basic everyday needs. October 31, 2006

I'm very satisfied with my Sony Clie SJ22, which I've owned now for nearly a year. While this PDA doesn't come with all the fancy features found in today's more sophisticated units, the SJ22 is a classy PDA that provides exceptional functionality and it should satisfy any user with basic needs.
The Jog Dial on the SJ22 is a very nifty feature that adds to the sleekness of this device, making navigation a breeze and something that's even enjoyable. But perhaps the SJ22's greatest asset is its brilliantly sharp 320x320 color display. Even today, this unit's exceptional display quality puts to shame many of the newer, pricier and more sophisticated PDAs currently on the market.
In terms of included software, Sony hasn't been as generous with the SJ22 as with its other models. But several applications have been included for creating and playing videos and for viewing photos. And a convenient, full-featured alarm clock is also included with this model. Unfortunately, the SJ22 doesn't come with the excellent Documents To Go software, which allows you to use your PDA to work with Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF). It would have been nice to have Documents To Go, but this application can be purchased separately for about $30 (USD).
The SJ22 handles tasks quite well for a PDA powered by Palm OS 4.1. This device is reliable and won't let you down. Aesthetically, the unit looks and feels great, and sports a user-friendly design with buttons and controls that are well placed, well sized and easy to use. In terms of size, this unit closely resembles a deck of cards: it's slightly larger but just as thick. Moreover, it's not at all heavy and can easily fit in a pocket.
Because the SJ22 is an older model that has been discontinued by Sony, these days it's nearly impossible to find it new--or even find it at all--in electronics stores (some stores may still have refurbished models in stock). But if you're interested in acquiring the SJ22, you can shop for it on eBay -- that's where I bought mine, brand new, at an amazingly low price of $75 USD (the unit I bought was in mint condition, used only once by the previous owner). You can also visit the Amazon Marketplace, where you might be able to purchase one at a good price.
For my basic needs, the SJ22 is a great little PDA that does the job exceptionally well -- it's simply a pleasure to use. I chose this unit because it's among the best (if not THE best) in its class, and I really don't have a need for a high-end PDA that comes with tons of bells and whistles, such as the ability to surf the Web. You can find many other more expensive PDAs that will give you all that, but the SJ22 is not one of those devices.
If you're looking for an excellent, dependable PDA for basic everyday use, the SJ22 would make an excellent choice. I think you'll really enjoy this wonderful and easy-to-use Sony device.
