good and bad of TH55

[Unregistered]

i am a hk guy and have been using T665 for 1.5 years. i played TH55 last week and found some goods and bads:

goods:
-slim and multi-function e.g. mp3, camera, voice recorder...
-good battery life
-wi-fi enabled
-support ms pro
-actually new CLIE organizer is a good idea...however, it is not the main point to buy it... the basic function of palm PIM is good enough. (just my opinion)

bads:
-no video recorder function (the bad bad thing)
-no bluetooth
-no alarm in to do list (TT3 does)
-no today list (TT3 does)
-no RMC (remote control for appliance)
-no cradle and headphone (very cheap sony)
-cpu speed is poorer than i expected

holy sh**, no today list?? i thought the todo list have today, this week, this month list?? are u sure it got no today list?

[LeggNet]

I believe he means that there is no Today Screen... similar to PPC's. Of course the calendar app will have a day, week, month etc. views..

Could you elaborate on this? I'm curious as to what made it feel slow and how slow it felt, which I realize is hard to describe but please try.

are u talking datebook... ? to-do-list is different fr datebook.

datebook contains day, week, month, half year view in TH55.

to-do-list contains no TODAY view...just like agendus does!!

Can you comment on the useability of the jog roller at the back? Is it comfortable? Does your finger get tired after a while? Also, how is the back button? From where it is, it seems to be somewhat annoying to get to...

[alvin322]

since it is using sony handheld engine..it saves much battery. however, when doing PIM function, the cpu speed would be set slower to meet this "low-cpu program". instead the CLIE organizer required much cpu resources rather than "normal CLIE" does...
actually, it is exceptable. haha ..

WHY ON EARTH WOULD I BUY THAT CRAP? IS IT TRUE THEY ARE COMING OUT WITH A BIGGER SCREEN UX?

Maji,

Since you played with the TH55 last week, perhaps you could answer my question about whether the "Prefs" in the TH55 are organized in a drop-down list or in the more intuitive one page fashion a la T|3.

Thanks.

No Photo Editor either!

and...

*no remote-controllable phone's (take device out of your pocket when you listen in power-saving "hold"-mode and receive an phone call).
*less dynamic-heap (7 MB) than the UX50 (16 MB) and the NX80 (8 MB) -> This affected nefront's "page-too-large-errors" in older models with 4 MB of dynamic-heap. As Palm OS 6 is said to have application specific-reserved dynamic-heap areas, I think with 7 MB of dynamic heap there will not be an os 6 upgrade.
*hard to take's photo's of yourself with the not swivable camera

*not to forget, that its possible that a bunch off non-memory-memory-sticks might not be compatible because of the special-ms-slot, like for ex. the gps-ms, bluetooth-ms, powerpoint-beaming-cable-ms uso.
*also on the japanese web-site the accessories do not list the cf-sled allowing the japanese people to use they compact-flash-mobile-communication-cards in the previous t- and nr-series-model's


....but.. a very pleasing price for a device with build in bt and wlan

this is always interesting.... I have never even considered ever doing such stuff on a PDA.... I actually like the idea of the TH being more like a paper organizer (I used to carry both when I had a Palm IIIxe and had to force myself to drop the other) and not trying to be more like a handheld laptop computer.

I won't forget christmas 2002/03 with my just 2 month's old nx70v i was able to send a family-photo as christmas-card to all friends having email (using ir and a mobile-phone). It was fun to add a handwritten greeting and a red handwritten heart on to of our baby - using photo editor :-( I it's rather unusual to get such emails from a mountain-lodge.

even worse:

add to the cons the following: It seems that not all the functionality of the expensive ms-pro can be used with the ms-slot's build in the th55 !!!!!!!!

Woah, no high-speed transfer? Now that is pretty lame... transfering 1GB at Purple MS speeds.... *shudder*...

But, I learned meanwhile, that this footnote is true for the other clie's too. So there should not be any difference ;-)

Its too early to say good and bad...no?!

You lying OS5 users!!!!!!!

well I said both good and bad. Fact is many are going to buy the device. If its for them great. I Jst don`t want any part of this device MYSELF. I will not buy a OS 5 system why? when os 6 is around the corner.:p
