I just returned my TJ35 to Best Buy after a week of ownership. The TJ is really a great looking machine and has some great features (I actually liked the front mounted scroll wheel - I'm left handed) but the screen was just too dim for me... I was migrating from a TG50, I thought I could do without the keyboard but the keyboard had become more important to me that I thought!
I also missed Movie Player, Photo Editor, and the voice recorder.
The screen brightness was the most important of all those factors but they all played a part in my decision. I am going to get a UX50 next week which has all the features I missed from my TG50 plus the low res camera, WiFi and of course, Bluetooth that my TG50 had.
I was probably trying to get/expect a T665 replacement that also offered VG and "settled" for the TJ35....
The TJ35 is a great machine and a great value, but comparing the screen to the UX50, my old TG50, it is lacking....
(I also have a friend with a Tungsten E and of course that screen just blows away the competition. But... he has already gone thru 2 machines for various problems.... the Sony's always seem to have fewer issues and better quality control....)
