Size of the SJ33: handy?

[Unregistered]

Hello,

I'm thinking of buying a SJ33. But since many stores do not have the PDA in their stores (.be), I do not know 'the actual size' (Yes, i know the official measurements!)

If some SJ33-owners could give me their opinion... I would like to know wheter it is handy enough to take it just anyware (in your pocket)... or do you need to put in a bag or something... ?

Regards,

Illusion

It's slightly larger than a deck of playing cards, but not as thick. It easily fits in a shirt pocket (and not just the "larger" pockets). I had a Palm IIIc and this is noticeably more compact.

I used to use a Visor Pro with the default leather slipper case.  Now I use the SJ33 with a case logic slipper case.  This new setup is bulkier than before, but it stil fits in my dress-shirt pocket.  The biggest irritation is that while I find the wrist loop a good feature to prevent dropping it, the loop dangles out of my pocket and looks a little goofy.  My old Visor had ridges on the side, which was less comfortable in my hand, but made it unnessary to have a wrist loop.

The lid has not been any problem to me, but be aware that it doesn't flip comletely out of the way.  This makes it harder for someone facing you to see the screen.  But then again, maybe that's actually a GOOD thing....;)

It is an obese PDA.

No not obese -- stubby.

Which gives it twice the battery life of the T665. 6hrs+ is a lot more useful than 3hrs & you don't need to recharge every day. You've made it clear you don't like the SJ33, why not be constructive & stick to the T series forum since you can't accept that not everyone likes the same PDA ?(plus you don't even OWN an SJ33 anymore based on your own admission) Battery life is a more important factor to many users than controlling T.V.'s whether you believe it or not.

ZDNet always compares there review models to a deck of regular cards. That should give you some idea.

It's tiny! Seriously! I looked at pics of it on the web and thought it would be chunky and obese and then I went to look at one in the store and it is TINY! It's a really nice PDA. Don't get the smoke grey version though... I didn't like the colour - get a nice blue or orange one!
