Oh..Boy...! I dropped my SJ33!

[Chanbingo]

Yeaterday accidently I happened to drop my fancy SJ33 directly on the hard cement floor some 3 feet further down....

Gosh.. when I looked down the flip is elswhere and the divice lying it's face down. I didn't even wanna bend and pick up the two pieces... I was sure to see a crack across the lovely display I used to enjoy so much..

I waited for a while...just to gain my consciousness and picked up the device..

Viola.....

Everything was intact I coudn't even find scratch where it hit the floor... I was really surprised... I guess the device has landed directly on it's flip and all the pressure was gone to it dismantling the flip from the hinge...

I remember how hard I tried to remove it manually some other time. I eventually gave it up though.

Now the flip is in place my SJ33 is back in it's sweet self.... thanks SONY making your stuff a lot hardier and still make them look sexy and feminine...

I'm glad the Clié is okay. I just got mine last week, but I cannot imagine what I would do if I dropped it and it was damaged.

[williepalm]

Get another Clie?

[Jeffry]

Very unique. Very Sony.

Great site!

Thanx elf for letting other people know that they should be careful
when dealing with SJ33.

No question I am in love with it..

The thing is SJ33 so curvy, so feminine, so shiny, so slippery that chances are very high (as in life too) they will slip through your hands without you ever knowing it... ha ha...

Still wondering what might have saved mine (when I dropped it) for life...!:rolleyes:

BTW Elf, you don't need to spend your $$$ on the blue Sony MS. They're expensive. Buy the lexar ones... which is $10 cheaper and in addition, you get the $30 rebate.

When I had my SJ33, I had the habit of washing my hands with soap constantly because I don't want fingerprint smudges on my beautiful handheld. I agree with you, the SJ33 is a GREASE MAGNET.

Any comment on hearing MP3 in backgroup while doing some writings?

[williepalm]

Yes, its posible.
Just go to menu, options, preference and check the box with"enable background play"

Hi Jeffry,

Where did you get the Lexar ones (and the rebate)? In Canada?

There is a company in Montreal that sells Sony MS cheaper because taxes are waived.

Also, a colleague said he may have seen MS at PriceClub but he doesn't remember-- he'll check again the next time he goes (usually once a month).

I assume you live in Toronto... just go to Future Shop and buy the purple (Lexar) Memory Sticks for $109, and mail in this rebate:

If you are in Toronto, Costco sells the SanDisk 128MB MS for $79.00. (2 weeks ago they gave out another $10.00 discount which made it $69.00 CAD; that's when I bought mine!)

Exactly the same thing happened to me. The thing fell to the floor in slow motion. The top popped off, the memory stick popped out... and I can't find the place where it hit the cement floor. My Visor would have disintigrated form a fall like that....

I also dropped my SJ33 on cement, but it's fine, theres a slight scratch on the flip cover, but that's understandable cause it slid a couple inches. My memory stick and stylus flew across the room though, it was funny, but I was pleasantly surprised when everything worked perfectly. My t615 dented the first time I dropped it, but it also worked fine I have to hand it to Sony for making durable handhelds.

I would probably either cry or have a mental break down if my clie broke. I have spent too much money to watch it go down the drain
