Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Superb res, reliable and versatile.......2005-08-05

I bought mine refurb and after 2-yrs I'm still in love with my SJ20. Although it sometimes fails and auto resets, of all of my gadgets it's by far my best companion at the point I depend on it. Sony's decision of quittin' the PDA business was annoying, I have to say, but my loyalty to Clié remains intact, so whenever somebody asks me for a recommendation on PDAs I always suggest Sony Clié. Right now I'm looking for an upgrade, which shall be a TJ27 (the one that comes with built-in camera), and my beloved SJ20 will remain close to me in my fianceé's hands.

2 out of 5 stars Nice unit but poor battery.......2004-12-10

I picked this unit up for my son 2 years ago, he enjoyed it a great deal, until the battery would no longer hold a charge. That happened about a year after he got it. I was just looking into getting a new battery for it so he could use it again and went to a battery store. They checked and an aftermarket replacement cost $49+ plus $5 S&H so I'm still in search mode on that.

1 out of 5 stars This is the worst PDA I have owned.......2004-12-09

DON'T believe the hype. I am pretty techno-savy and this unit did not do what it claims to do. The hot-synch did not work properly, the battery had below average life, difficult to reset, poor help files. Oh, did I mention, Sony never sent me the rebate they promised.

4 out of 5 stars Economy & Power .......2004-11-16

This is an attractive, compact, useful, easy to use, durable PDA. I had been using a Palm III and really enjoyed the high resolution of the Clie's 320 x 320 screen. Using the backlight drains the battery fairly quickly, but it's necessary for ease of reading, unless you are in an ideal lighting environment. After about 14 months of use, the battery stopped holding a charge as well as it was supposed to, and needs to be recharged about every two days. One of the few design flaws is an adapter required for either recharging or hot syncing. If you recharge in one location, and hot sync in another, you need to keep carrying the adapter around with you. My rebate came in the form of a free leather carrying case. It was so small that it's an ordeal to get the PDA in or out of the case, rendering the case virtually useless. However the protective flap works well and has an attractively accented logo. The jog dial is great for one-handed navigation. The "back" button is handily located on the side, but does not work in many applications, and just returns to the desktop. The search function became unreliable in later months, generating frequent fatal errors. The geek squad "fixed" this with a hard reset, but once data was restored via hot sync, the same problem immediately reocurred. Despite these shortcomings, this is a great organizational tool at a modest price.

4 out of 5 stars Very solid PDA.......2004-09-13

This little PDA does not have a color screen, does not play mp3s, and will not cook your food for you or drive you to work. As something to store information in, it's great though. It has 16mb of storage, which is enough to hold plenty of images and documents, and with the backlit high-resolution screen, you will see them clearly. The battery lasts quite a while because you are not wasting power on a color screen, too. This PDA is rather unique in that I know of no other one that has a backlit high-resolution grayscale screen. Those things make it the best among low-cost PDAs. Too bad you have to buy it used now. It's also stylishly designed, which helps if you feel sort of silly or geeky whipping out a PDA.

                    2 out of 5 stars Great at first, but then went down....WAY DOWN.......2006-01-02

                    I was walking around town Christmas Day looking for a DVD Player, being the day it was, finding one was really hard. Until I stumbled upon the JVC XVN512SL DVD Player for sale at a store that was going out of business. I bought it for a very low price and was excited to go home and watch my collection of DVDs.

                    At first it played my DVDs really well, the picture was great, not too dark and not too bright. The SET UP menus were very organized and easy to navigate through. The on-screen displays weren't annoying or obnoxious. Another thing I really liked was the luminating disc tray and the ability to be able to dim it.

                    It worked like magic the first six days. But I guess it chose to rest on the seventh day, because it stopped displaying any image on my TV. I tried everything to fix it, but unfortunately, those few days of repeatedly going back and forth between movie chapters, reversing and fast forwarding, and operating a good 3 to 5 hours a day, were too much for this poor DVD Player.

                    Luckily, the store hadn't closed for good yet, and I was able to exchange it. Even more lucky was the fact that they had no more of these in stock, so they allowed me to exchange it for a Sony DVP-NS50P, which is also for sale on this site. That DVD Player turned out to be more suited to put up with my frequent usage and style of movie playing.

                    In conclusion, I will only recommend this DVD Player if you are aiming for VERY light usage. And even then I still wouldn't be sure it will be able to handle it in the long run.

                    This DVD player indeed is nice and stylish...very sharp picture, especially for the great price at $100 (retailing at $180). I am, however, going to purchase monster cable component video cables for an even better picture.

                    The DVD player works half the time, if you are lucky....when it gets warmed up, the dvd stops playing. I just use it to play cd's now...I will junk it when I buy a more expensive model from a competitor.

                    1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY JVC.......2005-10-22

                    I bought this player and had problums with the unit. I returned it twice and had to pay shipping both times to send it to JVC for repair. They fixed the problums and low and behold now I can not open the dvd holder. Now they want me to pay for shipping again to send it back for repair again. I asked for a new one and they said no. VERY BAD SERVICE. Unit still does not work and I have now $75.00 in shipping cost too. Only one year old.
