TJ25 in stock at my Local Circuit City

[mdlsimpson]

I was in my local circuit city here in Florida this morning and they had just placed the boxed stock of the TJ25 under the counter... they did not have a display out yet....
If only the TJ35 were here already..... two more weeks!

I have to tell you that I looked at the TJ25 today and I am VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! What is Sony thinking about with the terrible little speaker. This is horrible and I will not buy a TJ. Does anyone know if the speaker on the TJ35 is better than the TJ25? This will be the TJ's only hope. I cannot use a PDA whose speaker I cannot hear... what good would my alarms be?

Also, that stylus is terrible. I cannot use that little thing. What are they thinking? Again, Sony, I hope the TG replace that is suppose to compete with the TT3 will be better and hear soon!

I went to Circuit City today to look at the TJ25.... I did a side by side comparison with the TE and the NX70v.....
The TJ25 was very similar to the NX70 in brightness and color saturation..... it was no comparison to the TE.... or the NX80, both of which blew it away in brightness.... it is also a little dimmer that the new UX50.... all of these PDA's were on display within a few inches of each other and were available for a side by side comparison ...
Sound level on the TJ was lower than the NX and UX series but a lot lower than the TG50 and the NX80.
I'm waiting to see if the TJ35 is the same screen / speaker....
The screen is a screen I could live with but would much prefer the brightness level of the NX80 or the Tungsten E.
......waiting to see......

I am glad that I am not the only person who noticed this. Thanks for letting me know that I am not insane in my evaluation of the TJ25.
