wow! Those up and down buttons don't seem user friendly... plus... the flip cover is not removable. There's no cradle included. My first impressions :D

[jedix]

Looks cool!

[cbulock]

Wow! That looks very stylish. I like both the blue and black covers for them. Sonys gonna sell alot of these.

Am I freakin good or what? You can call me Shogstrodomus. :)

Holy crap, I just noticed that the SJ33 now at least as good or better than the T655 in every espect! :eek:

Good thing the T is going OS5 with the Xscale and HiRes+ (All bow down to Shogstrodomus) :D

Price: HK$2,480.00

Um.. What the heck is an HK? hee

<bow>Shogstrodomus</bow>:D

I didn't catch that it was 66MHz the first time I looked at the specs. The machine really rocks. And that battery life is oh so nice.

At current exchange rates, about 7.8 HKD to 1 USD, the cost is about $317.00.

Looks pretty feature-full except for the built-in bluetooth, sigh...
next T-Series please.

ooo mighty shogstrodamus, I must digress on your obervations :D The SJ33 has no MP3 player only recording...T665 comes with it built-in!

On another note, I think it looks freaking bad (a$s) and Sharp could take a lesson from Sony on PDA design for sure. Although those buttons don't look like they'd be much fun for gaming (not that sony cares about that....just look at the NR and NX keys errrg) and I LOVE the up down buttons on this...Buuut, I can't give up all that the zaurus has to offer for this....

nevarDeath: All the sites clearly state that the new SJ33 has mp3 and atrac PLAYBACK through the included headphones and the Hong Kong site even shows screen shots of the Audio Player app. So this does definitely beat the T series at the moment.

Don't worry though, we Clie owners understand the jealousy factor!!LOL!!

With 66mghz processor will MS access be faster?

[Malainie]

I checked the it out. The thing I noticed on the page, though, was the Bluetooth module you can plug into your memory slot. AND it will work with the SJ30! So There's your Bluetooth, blastradius, albeit not built-in. :(

[VicAjax]

i've been having some issues with my SJ30 lately, and although the kinks seem to have let up a bit, i think i'm going to take advantage of a 30-day return window to take it back and wait for the SJ33... it's exactly what i'm looking for: a T665 with real battery life, SJ form factor&nbsp;and $300 tag.&nbsp;&nbsp;i only hope i can actually muster up the patience to wait for the orange one to hit u.s. stores.

Check thickness of SJ33. I think it is .9 inch compared to .5 inch for T665. Also, I think SJ33 plays MP3's and price rumoured to be at about $249.99.

Let us know what you think.

Thanks,

Does it have voice recording capability?

[alanpgh]

Don't know about voice recording capability of SJ33. Check the web site at the beginning of this thread.

The T665 does not have voice recording capability.

Good Luck!

Does it have enhanced IR (w/ remote)?

Now, revolutionary CLIÉ SJ33 stamina lasts up to 17 days — almost 5 days longer than previously (for example, when using 30 minutes a day without recharging the battery)! And if you're a music lover, you can depend on CLIÉ SJ33 for up to 10 hours of music playback*.


Hmmm...too bad they didn't get this right on my T665! :(
Oh well, it is still an awesome unit and meets all my needs!
